KAITO USA KA1103 AM FM SSB HF SHORTWAVE RADIO RECEIVER

The Kaito KA1103 high quality world receiver is the newest model made by the DEGEN electronics company which is one of the top manufacturing companies in China and it receives all of the shortwave broadcast frequencies. The KA1103 can decode SSB Single Side Band broadcasts through it's SSB circuitry, 1 kHz tuning steps and clarifier 6.5"(w) x 4" (h) x 1" (d) and weight: 1 lb with batteries. It is much better than other radios costing much more and in a smaller size. 268 memories (19 pages) can store your favorite stations.

This KAITO USA authorized import version comes with a 1 year USA warranty, a USA 110 volt AC adapter/charger (that can charge the NiMH batteries inside the radio) and an English manual.

The KA1103 receives FM in stereo from 70 to 108 mHz, LW Long Wave from 100 kHz to 519 kHz, AM Medium Wave from 520 to 1710 kHz and Shortwave from 1.711 to 30 mHz. Both the improved sound quality and reception sensitivity is top notch and combined with the many convenience features makes it a tremendous value. Initial reviews have been very favorable (see review below) especially at this low selling price which beats other SSB radios By Sangean and Grundig by $30 to $150.

Read the detailed review in the 2005 PASSPORT TO WORLD BAND RADIO publication where the radio received very good reviews for it's performance and sound. Some of the observations that were made include: "Tuning knob not MUTED when tuned", Superior FM sensitivity and Mediumwave AM", "Superior dynamic range for a portable, even better than the KA1102", "SSB reception: the tunable BFO control allows for superior signal phasing: ...etc.

A NARROW filter setting better separates stations on crowded shortwave bands or with SSB use and a WIDE filter setting provides better audio fidelity. The included indoor wire antenna plugs into the radio’s external antenna jacks and dramatically improves the shortwave reception over the telescopic antenna. The radio contains an automatic light sensor that turns on the light for the LCD display and the keypad whenever a key is pressed or a knob is turned. The dual conversion circuitry reduces out of band stations from interfering with the received frequency. A LINE OUT jack allows the hookup of outboard speakers such as those used for computers to provide room filling sound, FM in stereo.
Included with the radio are four Nickel Metal Hydride AA batteries that can be recharged up to 500 times with the included AC adapter/charger. The radio is slow to drain the batteries during use so there probably won’t be a need to purchase any expensive AA alkaline batteries during the life of the radio.

The complete package includes the KA1103 SSB world band radio, stereo ear buds, external wire antenna, carrying case, 4 AA NiMH batteries, a 110 volt AC adapter - charger, hand strap, English manual all in the retail packaging box.
