I have read of bands bleeding over on the rfp-11 (also sold under the
kenwood name).
I have 3 d1875s and a couple of them are extremely quiet and sensitive
on SW, at least as good as my 1103. They are very good on MW but not as
good as the 1103. The 2 that are excellent seem to be a newer version
with a curved grill over the speaker. This must have some circuit
tweaks over my 3rd 1875 which may be a slightly older version that has
a flat speaker grill. Also the tone control on the 1875 is very
effective. I still like my 1103 and my desktops better though but for
15-20$ on flea-bay (or goodwill) these cannot be beat, IMHO.
At $15.00 that is a pretty good deal - comparable pricing to the Degan
and Tecsun analog units on Ebay. Yes, the sound from the Magnavox is
quite pleasant and easily beat the Sony analogs it competed with in the
early 1990's.
Did you find the "Hidden band" yet? Just push the slider switch over
one more notch to the right into the analog scale section and it
connects to the highest shortwave band.
