- anyone have one; & how do they work on SW while
just walking around.

I have one. It's a good radio, not quite as sensitive off the whip
as, say, the Degen 1102. Has surprisingly strong and good audio for
it's size, which, BTW, is exactly the same as the 1102, just turned
"portrait" instead of "landscape. Has only a single bandwidth. The
backlight of the LCD is very dim, almost useless. Like the 1102,
comes with batteries which charge in the radio.

I bought mine from the same seller (and 2 Degen 1102s). He has good
service.

He should be able to pick up a Degen 1102 for about the same price. That
would be my recommendation.
