poll: anyone got a Degen 1105 yet?
 

My folks happen to be going to China/Hong Kong next week and I asked
them to pick one up for me. Anybody know where I can get an Engrish
manual or even whether I should get one at all?

Already have an 1102...

No SSB. What a shame...

Conner comments that the most exciting thing about the DE1105 is it's
size as it would make an excellent pocket radio. Agreed! He also
mentions that he saw on a SW Chinese BBS that will be listed for mail
order in China for around 330 RMB (Yuan) (US$40 +/-)

Thanks for the overview. How are the memories organized...groups of 50
maybe???

That's why I didn't get one.

If you can stand Yahoo Groups, there's already an active one for the DE1105
that seems to answer most of your questions.
