It is not a true portable. The only way it is a good performer is plugged
into the wall (so it doesn't eat batteries) and with 70 feet of wire for
an
antenna. It's performance off the whip sucks (typical of Seangeans).

I have one of those radios. I don't really care for it. I use it as my
beater radio out in the garage or in the yard when I'm doing yard
work. It does not seem to be overly sensitive. Anyone else have any
luck with these?



So basically the so called true SSB, no BFO on the radio is not sensitive? I
was looking at buying one. I have a Degen 1103 and like it but like to try
new radios. So stay away huh??

Thanks and Happy New Year All !!!!!!!
