Yep point taken but be aware that you can get better travelling radios.

The 1103 is indeed a budget priced radio and the sound is okay but not good.


Then it does have some overloading issues to consider.


Some of what the 1103 offers - including setting presets is very difficult for a totally blind person though not impossible.

All in all it goes back to what I said a couple of weeks ago, evaluate a radio on exactly what you want from it.

The 1103 does perform well over bands but its a cheap radio and I myself - if I were travelling - would much prefer the Eton Satellite even though its more expensive, its a better performing radio, easily accessible etc.

The price is fairly typical yes but I have a question, you have a Sony 2010 do you not so why do you want to downgrade to a Degen 1103? That’s pretty much what your doing.
The Degen is a much smaller size and - whilst there’s no argument 
whatever that as a budget radio it performs very well - the 2010 is 
better.
The difference between the two versions isn’t very much as far as I 
know, the version 2 has the addition of up/down buttons.

I have been considering the purchase of the Degen 1103.  But when I 
went to search for it, I found that there is a version 2 release.  
About the best price I noted was $55.00 U.S. with $24 for shipping 
from Hong Kong.

I therefore have two questions. First, is this price fairly typical? Second, how does the new version differ from the former, pros and cons if known?

Thanks.
