Radios AM FM SSB etc

Pinko,

Cant help you with your decision, but am just wondering, who uses AM CB these days.

I thought that they were pretty much a thing of the past since UHF became so popular.

Cheers,

Hi Pinko

The PL600 is worth the extra and is better if only because of the seperate volumne control - I've learnt to live with my 1103 but its a pain when you use the radio in the dark or when its alarm wakes it up and your still to sleepy to find and push the volumne select button before hitting the volumne

I have the Degen 1103--great little radio,definitely reccommend it.

Gidday

when I first started looking for a shortwave radio for remote area travel I read a book or two and the quote that stuck in my mind was "life is too short to waste time fiddling around with manual tuning ... get a radio with direct keypad entry."

I am not familiar with Degen but i am sure they will have have a direct frequency entry model a bit further up the range and I reckon the extra dollars will be well spent.

I am a Sangean user myself and it is great, turn it on and punch in the frequency and listen without having to fiddle with tuning every few minutes.

Cheers
