Digital camera reviews of Kaito KA1103 Worldband Radio
Digital camera Review: Excellent on AM,FM and Shortwave
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used most of the great radios, such as the Sony 2010, and other portables, including the Sony 7600GR. The KA1103 truly surprised me, in that it's performance on all bands was excellent, and the audio easy to listen to via speaker or earphones. It's AM,FM,Shortwave sensitivity is very good, and if it had a synch detector, it would beat most all portables I've used. Others have mentioned 'usability' issues, and while these might take time to get used to, what you are getting with this radio is a super receiving platform, technically speaking. The human interface might be a tad different, but its worth it if you want a radio with great technical performance for a low price. I especially like that the dial light will come on if you touch any of the radio's buttons, including the tuning knob---makes for easy nightime tuning around. I cannot comment on its internal charger, since I use lithium batteries. Back when I was a ham radio hobbyist, we used to say about certain great receivers, 'if you tune it to a frequency and find no station, its becasue its not there,' and I can say the same of the 1103. For historians, this radio seems to me to be similar in case design as the Sony ICF 7700, a similarly sized portable made in the 90's, that used a digital display to simulate an analog tuning needle, with digital readout at the top of the screen.
I'd say: get this, you won't be disappointed in its performance once you figure out how to use it's controls.
