OK for a beginning station

 

OK for a beginning station

If you're looking for a nice, cheap beginning weather station, this isn't bad. I still haven't been able to figure out how to get the outside unit to display F instead of C, but other than that, it's not bad. I would agree with the review above that...

No audible stations in SW in my area

I receieved mine yesterday. It was shipped and delivered 3 days ealier than the estimated(and I like Amazon). I am new to dxing and wanted to try one with this Kaito KA1102. The AM and FM worked fine(better than my Panasonic Walkman with AM/FM). But on...

Only UHF comes in...very disappointed

Only the Spanish stations come in. I switched the button to VHF but nothing comes in. Am I missing something?

Useless Now that We Have Digital HDTV

 

Useless Now that We Have Digital HDTV

As with all analog TV's, this is just a useless bunch of electronics. Might be good as a collectors item, but nothing more.

Works fine, but no longer very useful

Not what it is built up to be!

I got this and the extra antenna, and even made a 100 ft random wire antenna with ajack soldered on to connect either to the external antena or with the attachment to the amplified telescopic antenna, I can hear LOCAL, VERY LOCAL FM and AM Stations,...

Sleep timer default setting should be changed.

 

Sleep timer default setting should be changed.

In general I like this radio except that if you do not want the radio to automatically turn off in 99 minutes you have to remember to press the exit button within 2 seconds of turning it on to disable the default sleep mode. I would prefer a separate...

Best Pocket Sw Receiver for the Buck !

 

Best Pocket Sw Receiver for the Buck !

This is a copy of an earlier review Kaito KA1102 - Worldband radio. This is it! Performance of this little gem is outstanding! No other radio that I know of at this price will receive single side band signals (most "hams" use this mode). The 1102...
