SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Dan, recently sent me this link to the Degen DE1103 on AliBexxpress:\u00a0http:\/\/m.aliexpress.com\/item\/32521065066.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The vendor notes a “USA DSP chip<\/em>” in this unit.<\/p>\n

The Degen DE1103 has been around for many years; a testament to its popularity. I’m pretty sure it never had DSP receiver components, though.<\/p>\n

I told Dan that this was most likely an error of \"de1103-dsp\"<\/a>the Aliexpress web marketing person.<\/p>\n

Today, Dan sent me another link, this time\u00a0to an eBay listing<\/a>\u00a0with the title:<\/p>\n

“DEGEN DE1103 DSP FM\/LW\/SW\/MW Stereo Dual Conversion Digital World Band Radio”<\/em><\/p>\n

I took a close look at the photos and noticed\u00a0that “DSP” is featured on one of the front panel stickers.<\/p>\n

Could it be that the DE1103 has been re-designed with a DSP chip? Can anyone confirm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
