What I find interesting is that the "imageshack" photo shows a power
cord plugged into the left side of the radio. That would mean that it has an internal transformer for AC power instead of using an external wall-wart pwer supply. That would account for a lot of the physical size (& weight) of the radio. However, that also means that it is set up for Chinese AC power (220 VAC?) and thus wouldn't be as easy to use here in the US as the models with wall-wart power that simply allow substitute wall-warts for different local voltages. Importing one of these with the Chinese labelling wouldn't be as rewarding as it was getting the Degen models before they came out as English-labelled "Kaito"s (with the US power supplies), since you'd have to forgo completely using it on AC power (unless you also got or had a transformer power adapter). 73, Will |
