() Degen shortwave radios from China
To answer the person's question regarding the availability of the
Degen 1101 in the US - you'll soon be able to get the US version, re-named the Kaito KA1101, for $65-$70 + shipping at: Directly from Kaito (about $70 + about $8 shipping) (Available end of August): http://www.kaitousa.com/KA1101.htm Radios4you (about $65 + about $8 shipping) (Available September) http://www.radios4you.com/kaito-ka1101.html I have nothing to do with this radio or any of the companies above... and have never seen or heard the radio... As mentioned in the previous article, the Degen website talks about the DE1101 at: http://www.degen.com.cn/english/product_1101.html Passport to World Band Radio has a review: http://www.passband.com/pages/receivernews.htm This is a Dual Conversion, PLL Synthensized, Dual Bandwidth receiver! It even comes with NiMH batteries/charger! I haven't heard anything about the US version of the 1102.... (which is supposed to include SSB and I think (according to radiointel) more memories)... From Radio Intel - both these on the home page http://www.radiointel.com : "Degen DE1102 Our friend HongKongRadioer sends along the following great news. The DE1102 will be the successor to the DE1101. The DE1101 was a Chinese market only digital readout radio that did not have SSB Mode. The new DE1102 will have 190 memories, SSB, and an English front panel. It's nearest competitor will be the Sony ICF-7600GR." Actually, I just noticed that they posted the information I've given above! "The Degen DE1101 Is Coming To America As The Kaito KA1101 Lucky I picked up a Chinese version of the DE1101 on ebay a few months ago and have been meaning to write about it. This is a very impressive inexpensive portable however PBWR beat me to the punch and did a very good favorable review on the radio. [read the PWBR review] Loaded with features, this will be the inexpensive digital portable to beat for 2003. Radios4You.com and Kaito will be offering this radio and no doubt other vendors will pick this model up as well. Aug 1" |

Now I wonder when the 1102 will become available in the USA, as that model
will have SSB ability. What I like about the new 1101 is the rechargable batteries. Looks like a winner. Daniel Rosenzweig wrote in message om...

Ok thanks for the information, looks like Grundig and Sony will have some
competition. Daniel Rosenzweig wrote in message om... The side of the radio shows an analog knob to fine tune SSB. |

Aren't these Similar to the specs for the ( Delayed)
Sangean 636 ?? http://www.thiecom.de/ats636.jpg Dan In article , (Daniel Rosenzweig) writes: :24:36 -0700 A few more pieces of info: The KA1101 is approximately: 5 1/2" x 1" x 3" Is has 10 kHz MW/AM steps only. It probably will eventually have a 9/10 kHz switch. The KA1102 should be available in the US approximately 4-6 weeks after the 1101 is available. Besides the known SSB and additional memory features, the following is also added. 1 kHz tuning steps in SW 9/10 kHz MW/AM switch Size approximately the same as the 1101 Price under $100. |
