All,

I recently saw the review of the Degen 1103 and am interested in
buying one. I already have a DX-440. I'm just getting back into the
hobby after a long absence. Has anyone compared these two receivers?
Could I expect similar performance,

Most likely so, with the Degen having better strong signal handling and
lower oscillator phase noise (the ATS-803A was a Typical '80s Noize Box
in that regard). It apparently also shines on FM, with very good
overload rejection.

or possibly somewhat better in the
Degen? The DX-440 seems to suffer somewhat from spurious signals on
some bands.

The '1103 is not free of images either, though its image rejection is a
bit better than that on the venerable Sony ICF-SW7600G(R) (which you may
want to pick instead if you value SSB more and can make use of a
sideband selectable sync detector).
