Default Opinions Required Please - Quality of Kaito Shortwave Radios

Hi Guys,

Am new here, but after searching around on the net I read a lot of
positive reviews about this particular site; particularly in regard to
beginners to shortwave radio having their queries answered by guys
with a lot of expertise in the subject matter. Well anyway, now that
introductions are out of the way, I just have a question regarding the
Kaito brand of radios. I have spoken to several people who HAVE had
first hand experience with these, and I have heard nothing but glowing
reports in terms of their build quality, design, auto scan and preset
features, plus the fact that the particular model I AM looking at
purchasing also has the advantage of dual conversion receiver
technology.

Now the model I have fallen for, the KA1103, is currently available
for a price of less than $90 US! From what I have been told, a Kaito
model for this type of price IS a steal, and I have been advised that
for a beginner such as myself, the price represents tremendous value
and getting used to the Kaito won't be as steep a learning curve as
some other, more feature-rich models (such as the type most of you
guys would have).

What I DO need to know, however, before I make the purchase, is am I
able to try 'AM DXing' and listen to medium wave stations' with a
model such as the one I have my heart set on? Sorry guys for the long
post, but it's just that I have so many questions and am trying to
learn as much as I can as fast as I can so that I am able to really
get stuck into things and get on the airwaves asap heh.

Thanks so much in advance for your advice and guidance,
Brian Anasta
