Kaito/Degen has done it again! I needed a small AM/FM/SW radio for travel and have compared several including the Kaito KA1105, the Kaito KA11, the Kaito 1102, the Grundig G6, the Grundig YB-550PE, the CCRANE SWP (Redsun RP300), the Tecsun PL-450, etc. from Amazon.com After reviewing many radios, I decided because of its price to go with the Kaito. When I received the radio I tried to charge the batteries- one battery refused to charge in a powerex charger. from Amazon.com Kaito/Degen has done it again! I needed a small AM/FM/SW radio for travel and have compared several including the Kaito KA1105, the Kaito KA11, the Kaito 1102, the Grundig G6, the Grundig YB-550PE, the CCRANE SWP (Redsun RP300), the Tecsun PL-450, etc. from Amazon.com I bought the Kaito KA 1102 and it is a great radio except it had motorboating on some frequencies. So I retruned it and bought the KA 1101 since I am mainly interested in the AM broadcast band. from Amazon.com Kaito/Degen has done it again! I needed a small AM/FM/SW radio for travel and have compared several including the Kaito KA11, the new Grundig G6, the older Grundig YB-550PE, the Sangean ATS-606, etc. from Amazon.com The Kaito KA1101 is worth taking time to recommend. I was specifically in the market for the smallest available AM/FM/SW receiver with quality performance especially in the SW bands. from Amazon.com I also have the GE Superradio III, touted for it's abilities in areas where signals are marginal. That radio does well but is hardly portable, more luggable. I was surprised to find that the petite KA1101 out-performs the much, much larger and heavier (and almost three times as expensive) Superradio. As others have noted, instruction booklet is amusingly creative in its use of the English language. from Amazon.com Kaito KA1101 - Worldband radio from Amazon.com From the experiences I've had with this radio...from not having it very long, I'd say it ranks just as good as any portable Sangean I own...relative to size. As other reviews have said, some of the buttons are NOT very intuative, and the instruction booklet is hilarious! from Amazon.com Very impt. The 1101 does not have SSB receiving capability. The 1102 does. from Amazon.com
