So I'd say: if sensitivity and picking up weak
signals is most important, get the 1103. If
listening to relatively strong signals for program
content and enjoyability is more important, go
with the YB400.

Or get both -- one can never have too many
radios! :-)

Thanks for the info again and yeah so this really clinches it for me. I
want better sensitivity if that's what the 1103 provides. I don't care
about audio quality so much as I usually listen with headphones, or
through my home stereo. And with shortwave if the sound is good for
voice that's the main thing. I'm not in a position to buy both.
