OK, let me rephrase. I'm trying to decide between a KA1102 and a
E10/PL-500. Any thoughts?

The Kaito has the adantage of SSB reception, albeit in a rudimentary
fashion. The Eton has [supposedly] implemented IF shift which can
come in quite handy with adjacent frequency crud but does not have
SSB; I don't suspect their 'antenna trimmer' is anything more than a
small variable capacitor and is probably more flash than function.
These days both radios are built in China [and if I'm wrong this
thread will suddenly have 27 people chiming in to correct me but offer
you no advice ] so quality is probably a toss-up between the two.

May I suggest you contact Universal Radio by phone, they sell both and
perhaps will allow an exchange to the other if you are not satisfied
with your selection?

Good Luck
