The only chinese made radio I own so far is a Magnavox D1875 analog
unit from 1994 or so. Good little single conversion receiver with
much better audio than
comparable Sony units.

I'm tempted by the Degan 1103, but I'm a bit concerned by the several
ergonomic issues mentioned in the Radiointel review.



IMO the ergonomic issues disappear after using the radio according
to the manual. Others may have different opinions, but honestly I find
no bother in pressing the volume button and turning the knob to raise
or lower volume. After setting it for a comfortable listening level I've
rarely had to change it. I was concerned about the number buttons
being in a horizontal configuration, until I got the radio. Didn't bother
me a bit. Go for it!!!
