Default need to replace YB400?

ka-11, don't bother...i ordered one and sent it right
back....terrible selectivity, virtually no sensitivity, cheap
construction, speaker is awful..sure looks nice though.

And does anyone know if the KA11 (or DE11) is a new and updated version of
the 1102 with all the same circuitry in a smaller package or is it some
cheapy no-feature low grade low sensitivity completely different model?

I think the search function on the newer Chinese radios work OK - but
not perfect - and I use them at night in the dark when my XYL is
sleeping. I have a Kaito/Degen 1102 which is pretty sensitive and
searches OK, and also my Realistic/Sangean DX-398/ATS-909 searches
OK. Gotta turn off that beep on the Sangean... but they both work --
Again, not perfect, but acceptable enough to enable searching in total
darkness with the dial light off.


Does the seek search between 'bands' or is there some way of switching
between bands manually? Also, when you search manually, do you find
stations missed by the seek button? And can it be used with an ear-phone
like the YB400 can't?
