I recently purchased a used Degen DE1102 radio and all works fine except
the charging circuit. The batteries take a charge when placed into
another charger, but not when the radio is plugged into the wall
adapter. The radio performs very well on batteries or using the
adapter, but the charger just does not work. There's no problem with
replacing them with another set of batteries while the originals charge
in a separate charger, except that most chargers expect pairs of
batteries and this radio uses an odd number.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

You have to push the letter P and then select the number of hours to
charge. If you just plug it in it won't charge. When in doubt read the
instructions.

BLUSH! BLUSH! You are SO right! Perhaps it was because it was so very
far over in the book . . . . page 3. ;-) It's charging now.

Thank you very much for the reply. I'm used to "automated" things and
had no idea we had to tell it how long to charge. ...But then knowing
of a couple of other features of this radio, such as the sleep timer, I
should have realized it.

I had no plans of tossing it out, anyway, as I have several chargers and
extra batteries. It's a GREAT little radio for the money. Light
weight. Small / compact. Loaded with features. Perhaps I should have
saved part of my time spent on the internet to read the instruction
manual. Now, If I just don't flip the book to the wrong side. I know
NO Chinese.

I promise! I'll read the book - probably tonight! :-)

Clue: one side of the manual that came with the radio (if you bought it
from Liypn) is English, the other side Chinese. Simply flip it over. If
you're looking at Chinese, flip over the manual and you will be reading
English. The same holds true for the box, if you still have it-the lid
is in Chinese, but the back is in English. Yes, it is a nice radio,
despite what Li says. Mine mostly gathers dust nowadays, since a lot of
my "regulars" aren't that strong here anymore. But since you're mostly
using it to listen to US domestic stations, it is excellent for that. I
mainly used plain old alkaline batteries with mine, since I didn't want
to go through the hassle of charging the Degen batteries.

I think ONE THING could have been better even though I haven't used it
yet. The "line out" plug is also the head phones plug. The manual
tells us that changing the volume WILL affect this. What it seems to
amount to is could have been accomplished with a splitter. I prefer
what the Sony 7600, and many others, has - TWO separate plugs. The one
for headphones IS affected by the volume control and the "line out" plug
IS NOT affected by the volume control. You *could* be listening and
recording at the same time and the "ambient" noise could change so you
had to change your volume. You'd probably want the recording to be
constant. This is only a problem if the 1102 is your only radio.

I have the Kaito and it picks up great. Nice features with batteries,
charger and carrying bag. Some here trash the China stuff, but I could
care less.

Ignore Li. He has a pathological hatred of Communism. He's so hateful
that he can't think straight. Yes, Communism is evil, but China is more
capitalist than communist, in fact it's increasingly becoming like
Singapore with a thriving capitalist economy and a repressive political
system. Yet I don't see Li trashing Singapore, just China. For better or
worse, China is a major economic power, and a big reason for that is
that they can beat the West at our own game. They make electronics,
refridgerators, and toys cheaper and better than the West, and once they
get up to speed in cars they'll take market share away from the
Japanese. But Li is so obsessed with his hatred of the CCP that he can't
deal with reality.

..You Would Not Buy Stocks in China

If you believe in democracy, you would not buy stocks in China because your
money would likely be used by the CCP to reinforce autocracy and suppress
democracy.

If you believe in Christianity, you would not buy stocks in China because
your money would likely be used to support the propagation of violence
against believers and destroy beliefs in gods.

If you practice Falun Gong, you would not buy stocks in China because your
money would likely be used in the persecution against Falun Gong
practitioners.

If you were an ordinary civilian, you would not buy stocks in China because
you would likely have no place to file a petition when the communists
embezzle your money.

Even if you were a high-level official of the CCP, you would not buy stocks
in China because you have the best understanding about the black box
operation and consistent lies behind the scenes.

You would not throw your money into a dirty bottomless pit because it might
prolong the CCP's autocracy for several days, or be used to persecute Falun
Gong practitioners or underground church priests, arrest several independent
pro-democracy writers and justice lawyers, manufacture tanks that roll over
patriotic students, or put several Zhao Ziyang-like men under house arrest.

You are a smart investor, you will think it over.

The four largest state-owned Chinese banks will go IPO (Initial Public
Offerings) in Hong Kong before bankruptcy. The CCP is trying to take
advantage of the opportunity to absorb overseas capital, accomplishing its
blood transfusion all at once.

The Taiwanese Association of Investment Victims to China gives several
examples. One example is what happened to a Taiwanese businessman surnamed
Liao. He signed a contract with the local government of Longnan city,
Jiangxi province to build a park. The contract was to be valid for 25 years.
Mr. Liao invested about 0.72 million US dollars (or 24 million NT dollars).
After the replacement of the local CCP Secretary, the Longnan municipal
government retrieved the land without paying any indemnification. The new
CCP Secretary told Liao, "You can sue me if you dare to." Another occurred
to Taiwanese businessman, Chang Zhongxin, who had a joint venture with a
Chinese partner in Shandong province. Chang filed a lawsuit against his
partner because he was falsely incriminated. The judge urged him to make
concessions, "There is no way that you can win over them. Forget about it!"
The third example is a 36 million US dollar (or 1.2 billion NT) investment
by Taiwanese businessman, Cai Gaode, to produce engines for motorcycles.
Once the factory was established, China withheld the operation permit. An
investment of 36 million US dollars literally became China's property
without any return.
