Degen 1102: fantastic
I got my Degen/Kaito 1102 form lypin on ebay.
It's simple fantastic. I can't realize how Degen engineers are able to design this fantastic piece of technology at an incredible low price. Degen 1102 it's a must have! |

Careful about using superlatives here :-) The 1102 has definite performance shortcomings (most notably in immunity to overload) although overall its performance is very good for the price, size, and low battery consumption. I can't realize how Degen engineers are able to design this fantastic piece of technology at an incredible low price. Cheap labor I'm sure. It's also cheap because you are buying an item that has not been marked up by a US distributor (Kaito) or dealer, and not supported by a US warranty. However - the cheap eBay prices for Degen imports has driven the prices on US Kaito versions down, so the consumer wins there too. Degen 1102 it's a must have! Agreed. Despite its design shortcomings (which all portables do) it does incredibly well for the price, and is a terrific bargain. |

Would I be betraying incredible cynicism in wondering if a few of the endorsements for this radio might be, shall we say, financially motivated? |

Would I be betraying incredible cynicism in wondering if a few of the endorsements for this radio might be, shall we say, financially motivated? Just a bit cynical. :-) But it's worth questioning, I guess. I've had my Kaito 1102 for about a month---not from lipyn (from whom I ordered a Degen BCL-2000 and got excellent turnaround) but from Radios4you (because I was anxious and wanted it quick---they complied admirably). It's an excellent portable for its size and price, IMHO, and I'm very happy with it. Nobody has paid me to say so, either. I'm able to pick up stations on the 1102 that I can't get from any of my other portables, just off the whip, and it's a very good option when I'm away from my tabletop receivers. It's not a DX machine of course, and overloading may be a problem in some areas (it hasn't been one for my unit) but I'm really impressed by it. ---- |

However if I read Ulis Fleming's review of the radio, you have to go
thru an excercise to get TO SSB, using page 9 of memory or something like that...If it's not intuitive (ie. idiotproof) I dont want it. yodar Sanjaya wrote: Does it have SSB?? Yes it has SSB |

You're in page 9. Enter the frequency you want, press the SSB button. Voila. |

I might add that after you've done that once, page 9 stays in SSB mode unless you press the button again to take it out of SSB |
