I am very pleased with my 1103. I have owned three different 7600gr radios
and I just wasn't impressed. The 1103 has a much better sounding speaker. Plus, the 1103 has a tuning knob but it still maintains the advantages of being a digital radio. To me, I have arranged the memories on 1103 in sequential order: MW to SW to FM. When I need to access a particular frequency, I just give knob a spin or two and I'm there. I've never found a reason to access any memory directly, so it really doesn't matter to me if a memory is named 1c or 23. A previous poster claimed that "the memory retrieval feature has a serious bug when used on FM and MW. When a stored channel is retrieved from FM, the firmware also retrieves the highest numbered memory used for MW." That's not quite right on my 1103 anyway. What I have observed is that the radio remembers the last frequency tuned on each of its 12 bands. That means that when you switch from one band to the other, the radio tunes to the last station you listened to on that particular band. To me, that's a pretty nice feature. Don't get me wrong. I don't think the 1103 is the best radio made. I have others that I like better, depending upon my mood. But for my needs and tastes, the 1103 comes closer to perfection than did the 7600gr. |
