Re: [Swprograms] $15 (regularly $20) SW radio @ Walgreens



Joel:

If you still have it -- What page of the flyer was it on?  Tried to view it
online, couldn't see it..

It's probably something like the Jwin or similar.  If you really want a
beach radio, pick up the Kaito 1101, 1102 or 1103.  Those can be had for
$60 - $100 and are much, much better radios.

I have the 1102 and it is very acceptable for rocking-chair listening, but
there is no bass to speak of.  I believe the 1101 has better bass but is
single conversion, if I remember the Passport review correctly.  The 1103
has more bells & whistles but doesn't perform as well as the 1102.
