Great starter receiver! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased this little gem from the "shortwavestore" seller on eBay. The price can vary between $75-$99, depending on where you buy it. I've seen the best prices on eBay using the "Buy it Now" option.

The receiver is very small, but highly sensitive and with excellent selectivity. It had no problem pulling in the same stations as my ATS 803A and my ATS 505, even just off the whip. The SSB on the KA1102 was excellent- it has a fine tuning option and allowed me to hear Morse signals on the lower part of 20 meters with real clarity.

The sound is very good for a small radio-- bass isn't the greatest on FM (small radio, what can you expect?) and you need earphones to hear it in stereo. Comes with a cloth pouch, earphones, AC adapter and reel antenna.

If you see the Degen version of this radio offered for cheap on eBay (around $75.00) be aware that, thought this is the same radio as the KA1102, it probably doesn't come with a warranty.
