Luc, I have a couple (having acquired another in a trade). I've owned 3, and gave one to a good friend in Ukraine. I used it for DXing (SW and MW) in the Amazon, the Galapagos, and in Europe and was very pleased with the radio. I have heard some quality control issues, but personally have never run into any problems with mine. It's a very pretty radio, and the packaging is excellent with everything you need to get going, including a cloth case, earbuds, rechargeable NiMH batteries, and a random wire antenna. Subsequently there have been a number of excellent MW ULR receivers that have come along and may very well be as good or better....the Eton e100 comes to mind (have one of those too....it's much smaller and flimsier in appearance, but also an excellent performer). If you want the Kaito, I might just have an extra to part with......Walt. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
