Upon learning that its predecessor, the Degen DE1128,<\/a> did not have 10 kHz stepping, it lost an audience in the Americas. \u00a0I feared that the DE1129 would have the same limitations, but fortunately (for Degen) it is not. Of course, here in North and South America, we have the\u00a0Grundig G2 Reporter<\/a>–which is sold and supported here in the US as a DE1128 alternative.\u00a0 But this newest member of the Degen line is a welcome addition.<\/p>\n
