I don't know why I
would buy a Kaito tho cause I think they are a lot more money than a
Degen from Lipyn.

The double price for the Kaito version available through stateside dealers
is for the warranty - you will need it!
Purchasing a Degen from China for half the price of a Kaito, for all
practical purposes, makes Degen's warranty worthless.

Mister seeing eye dog - I don't care about resale and will give radio
to another of the kids in the family and then maybe upgrade. I will
take your advice for nice Sony portable from other thread and consider.

You better act soon. Factory new Sonys are becoming difficult to find.
