Woot has a great reputation–I’ve purchased from them several times. You can buy with confidence.

Note the following, however:

  • You must use the Woot smart phone app to snag this particular deal (links to iOS and Android).
  • Woot deals are one day only (i.e. today) and while supplies last.

And a two pack? Buy one for you and one as a gift, I say! The Traveler is a great radio–In fact, I gave mine as a gift to someone.

eBay: Bargain basement prices on the Degen DE1103 DSP version

17 Replies

UPDATE–Caveat emptor:

I can no longer link to this deal. Several readers have noted the seller has no history nor feedback.

Additionally, Joe notes that “The same seller is offering the Tecsun PL-660 for $39.99 and the Tecsun PL-360 for $17.47, among other extraordinarily low-priced items.”

Thanks guys–I’m sorry, but that’s just too good to be true. I’ve removed the eBay links below.

To be clear: eBay provides a money back guarantee for buyers in instances like this, but it would be an extra hassle, for sure. I just feel these prices are too good to be true.

Here’s the original post:

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who notes:

“I see the sour DSP version of the DE1103 are down to rock bottom prices up on eBay.”

Any potential buyers should note: while this DE1103 looks identical to the excellent DE1103/KA1103 receiver produced through 2014, the DE1103 DSP model leaves much to be desired. Check out my review from 2015.

Still, for $22.56 US shipped, it would make for a great FM radio if nothing else.

Used Bonito Boni-Whip and MegaLoop at Universal Radio

Leave a reply

If you’ve been considering either the Bonito Boni-Whip or MegaLoop NTI ML200, you might check out these second-hand units at Universal Radio:

While browsing Universal’s used list this morning, I noticed the two Bonito antennas. Both are listed in “good” condition and Universal Radio backs their used equipment with a 60 day limited warranty. The Boni-Whip price is $119.95 and the Mega-Loop $285.95.

SWLing Post contributor, Clint Gouveia, has been most impressed with the Boni-Whip–check out this recent review with videos.

I was mighty tempted to purchase this used Boni-Whip, but I’ve been so busy on the road lately, I haven’t even had an opportunity to put Steve Yothment’s homebrewed mini-whip antenna on the air and I’ve had it since early March!

The Megaloop ML200 is a very portable magnetic loop antenna.  I’ve used one on a couple of occasions and really appreciated the noise rejection. It’s much easier to pack than a loop with a rigid antenna element.

$295.95 is a great price for the ML200 which typically sells for 369 EUR via Bonito in Germany.

Exceedingly rare Northern Radio modified SP-600

5 Replies

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who writes:

Those of us who still use SP-600s, and those of us who once did but can’t deal with them in retirement, lust after some of the rarer versions of the radio. This is one of them, the Northern Radio modified SP-600.

Click here to view on eBay.

Wow! Many thanks for the tip, Dan!

I must say that when Dan finds these rare treasures on eBay, they usually carry a very hefty price.  In my opinion, this is a good deal for a rare SP-600. Best of all, it has a BuyItNow price, so first-come, first serve and no bidding up the amount.  The shipping price is a bargain considering this radio probably weights upwards of 80 lbs.

This SP-600 may need some electrical restoration and possible re-capping. It’s listed as: “For parts or not working.” If you’ve been looking for an SP-600 to restore, this might be worth consideration. Thanks again, Dan.

I’m a long time reader, and wanted to share this amazing deal I just stumbled across and maybe you would like to pass down to your readers.

Cabela’s is a national chain and I’ve never seen a price this low on the Skywave. I’m also not sure how long the sale or stock will last.

Thanks again for all the great work on your blog!

Thank you for for sharing this deal, Rich, and thank you for the kind comments!

This is the best deal I’ve ever seen on the CC Skywave, too.

Regular SWLing Post readers know the Skywave is one of my favorite travel radios.

Note that Cabelas does typically charge $10.95 for shipping. If you purchase more than $99 of gear, shipping is free. If you have a Cabelas store near you, the Skywave can be shipped for free for pickup.
