sure the chief engineer of SAT800 is from Tecsun ,one of the biggest
radio manufacturer in China, now he has left the job then running a
independent design house, the DE1103 if one of his design out for DEGEN
company.

very interesting.

LW2,

Some where i thought that I had read that
Tecsun GEM China (PRC) 'owned' or was
a major share holder in Degen.
? Now Is That True ?

i want to know ~ RHF

Actually Degen used to be a subsidiary of Tecsun several years ago, the
main business is radio sales, aftermarket service and Electrical
Design, no production line, some Tecsun's radio electrical designing
was come from Degen, but now Degen was completely separated and
independent, Degen has full capacity on receiver designing, mass
production and has own sales channel, Degen become a powerful
competitor of Tesun thus far , sure some Tecsun's shareholder has
shares of Degen, but it absolutely not affect the competitive
situation. once tecsun bring out a new model, then Degen has a similar
one to compete, for example: Tecsun 9700DX~Degen 1107, Tecsun
PL550~Degen 1103, Tecsun PL350~ Degen 1105, Tecsun PL200~ Degen 1102,
now Degen are building the flagship of DE110* series , we would like to
see what does the Tecsun bring to desk

All the post is very informative for designer's, I had transfered all
to my forum bbs.leowood.net, sorry it's Chinese version. the designer
is also a community moderator in this Chinese radio fan's forum, he
has reviewed all the thread, I will keep all in the loop

Dear Sir,

At the risk of posting too much, may I say that I understand that Degen
is one of China's leading radio manufacturers. As such, I hope that the
design of this radio is a "no-holds-barred" short wave receiver of
absolute top quality. Ergonomics especially should be user-friendly.
Menu-driven radios are perfectly acceptable IF the owner's manual is
comprehensive and complete. (I own an AOR AR7030 Plus, the best
performing radio I have ever owned, which I find very easy to use due
in part to its superb owner's manual. Though menu-driven, its
ergonomics are superb.) NO "FRILLS" (such as a "fake" analog dial)
should be on this radio; everything incorporated should be there for a
distinct purpose: the best possible reception of the signals desired.

I sincerely hope you will take into consideration my suggestion to
incorporate the various new terrestrial digital reception modes. It is
not necessary (nor, in my opinion, desirable) to incorporate XM or
Sirius satellite "pay" reception into this forthcoming radio. Satellite
radio can better be served by another separate receiver.

As I stated above, ABSOLUTE TOP QUALITY in DESIGN, COMPONENTS, and
CONSTRUCTION QUALITY are of PARAMOUNT importance.

Degen should market this radio in the USA under its own name. If the
radio is a great one, this will give impetus to awareness of the Degen
name in the United States.

I believe that, if any company can design and market a near-perfect
short wave radio, Degen is that company.

Best,

Joe

My question is: What relationship does DEGEN have to the PLA (People's
Liberation Army)?

More to the point, what does your question have to do with Degen radios
and shortwave listening. I am impressed that the designer of the DE1103
has given us some insight into that radio and more importantly has
asked the SWL community for suggestions on how to design a new radio.
That is a first for me.

I think we should focus this discussion on Degen and their shortwave
radios. And I'm sure you agree.

It was a legitimate question regarding DEGEN radios. (And other Chinese sets as
well)

You may not like being reminded that by your purchase you help fund the PLA and
help promote slave labour?

Got a problem with that, 'tard boy?

Go back and read the question I asked again, 'tard.

Read it 3 or 4 times if you have to.

Boggling, just how many damn 'tards there are in this hobby.

Sheesh...
