Clue: one side of the manual that came with the radio (if you bought it
from Liypn) is English, the other side Chinese. Simply flip it over. If
you're looking at Chinese, flip over the manual and you will be reading
English. The same holds true for the box, if you still have it-the lid
is in Chinese, but the back is in English. Yes, it is a nice radio,
despite what Li says. Mine mostly gathers dust nowadays, since a lot of
my "regulars" aren't that strong here anymore. But since you're mostly
using it to listen to US domestic stations, it is excellent for that. I
mainly used plain old alkaline batteries with mine, since I didn't want
to go through the hassle of charging the Degen batteries.

I think ONE THING could have been better even though I haven't used it
yet. The "line out" plug is also the head phones plug. The manual
tells us that changing the volume WILL affect this. What it seems to
amount to is could have been accomplished with a splitter. I prefer
what the Sony 7600, and many others, has - TWO separate plugs. The one
for headphones IS affected by the volume control and the "line out" plug
IS NOT affected by the volume control. You *could* be listening and
recording at the same time and the "ambient" noise could change so you
had to change your volume. You'd probably want the recording to be
constant. This is only a problem if the 1102 is your only radio.
