Hello, just wandering what you think of the Degen 1102? It seems they
are a great deal. What say? buzz

It's not a bad tiny portable for receiving strong stations, but don't
expect great things with an external antenna. I found that with just a 20
foot wire that medium wave stations bleed into SW around 6000 khz.

SSB tuning is possible but not practical.

MW DX is okay but not great, but again, the radio is tiny.

The DE1103 is better. Much better.

The same sensitivity and selectivity as SW7600GR when use telescopic
antenn, but overload under outdoor antenna. the blue LCD backlight
seems less recognizable in dim circumstance

I highly recommend the Degen 1103. It is the best overall SW portable I
have used. Does about everything well.
Very sensitive off the whip. It takes rechargables, which is great. No
regrets buying it, and plan to keep it for many years.

I heard some good reviews on here from people, then I got one and it
stinks. I thought I got a bad one so I sent it to the manufacturer
(kaito usa) and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Enough
said.

Ok, so it's not a Sony 7600. But it's a pretty good performer for $50
(the Degen version sold on ebay, Kaito charges twice that, which isn't
worth it). But conditions are so poor that my 1102 is pretty much
useless for the moment, just sitting on top of my Yaesu tabletop while I
try to hear BBC through all the QRN using LSB. :(
