1103 vs 909
I was wondering if anyone could comment on how these 2 radios perform
side by side on shortwave?...I have a Kaito 1103 and was thinking of buying a Sangean 909, but was wondering if its performance is better, worst or the same on shortwave as the 1103... Thanks... |

1103 vs 909
The 909 is more "feature rich" than the 1103 but I think you will find the
1103 is more sensitive than the 909... "GP" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks... Well, the 909 is priced at least 4x the DE1103, so it is kind of an apples and oranges comparision... :-) The 909 has as the other fellow indicated a lot more features, and they are probably executed a little better than on the DE1103. The DE1103 for it's good points as a receiver has a poorly designed and executed memory setup. And it generates lots of repeat signals. You might take a look at reviews of the DE1103, Sony 7600 and Sangean 909 on Radiointel and Eham for more details. |

I think you will find the
1103 is more sensitive than the 909... Really?...I am impressed how sensitive the 1103 is but I would have thought the 909 would have been equal if not better... |

"GP" wrote in message oups.com... I was wondering if anyone could comment on how these 2 radios perform side by side on shortwave?... Performance on both is good, but for the price/performance ratio, the DE1103 is the real bargain. I've tried both, only off the whip, and I actually found the 1103 to be more sensitive than the 909 on some frequencies during my albeit-limited comparison time. The only thing I really don't like about the DE1103 is its freakish volume control ergonomics; just a really poor design. The fake 'analog' LED takes up a lot of real estate and I don't bother to look at it... I would have designed this radio differently, but the main point of the 1103 is that it is a real gem for the price when it comes to performance. Jackie |

I was never particularly impressed with the sensitivity of the '909 off
the whip. That said, I believe that, compared with many other portables. the '909 is a tad more immune to overload when used with an external antenna...and that can be a major plus.

That's a lot of money for a marginal improvement in performance. |

"John S." wrote in message ups.com... It's interesting how many people focus on a different feature of the DE103 to complain about but we all like it's basic performance. For me it is a memory that uses base 16 to number channnels and memory firmware that is seriously buggy. Hmn, I have to admit I haven't had any issues with memories or firmware with this model, but then again I rarely make use of the memory functions of any of my shortwave receivers. Now I am curious... what's buggy about the memory firmware of the 1103? Jackie |
