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

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

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

A couple of points. To make such a statement you apparently have
intimate knowlege of their financial condition and ownership. Perhaps
you would care to share it. What are the percentage of ownership of
the major stockholders and are dividends paid to all classes of
shareholder. Please give us details of any cross ownership between
this company and other commercial companies and development banks. What
are the wages at this company. Does the company transfer funds to its
owners by management fees in addition to dividends?

You indicate a concern about buying products from non north american
countries. Have you noticed that most of the clothing, appliances,
cars and indeed almost all consumer goods are not from the U.S. To not
have noticed you must have had your head firmly planted in the sand for
several decades now. To not buy from developing countries would be all
but impossible from an individual standpoint and pretty foolish for the
U.S. as a global economic force.

Steve,
He won't or can't answer your question. Every Chinese company has
"connections" with the Communist Party:
