After reading some reviews of the KA1102 on e.ham, I purchased one off of eBay today. Should be here in less than a week and I'm looking forward to using it.

Anyone here own one? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts about it, both good and bad.

Thanks in advance.

SSSG, you'll love it. The size is quite travel friendly and it is a quality radio. FM/SW/MW - it's all impressive. It was every bit as good as my old Sangean ATS-909 (that I ebayed). The only things I missed were LW (I like looking for beacons), a tuning knob (I'm weird and old fashioned, I guess) and I had to carry a cheat sheet with me to make sure I programmed the alarm right when I took it on trips! I actually ended up giving my 1102 to a co-worker who travels with it and I bought a KA1101 for the road and a KA1103 for the house. The KA1101 is a breeze to set the alarm on and perfect size for a computer backpack.

One note - SSB on the 1102 seems like it was a notch better than the 1103 has been.

Kaito makes a great radio and you'll have a lot of fun with it - guaranteed. Many of my co-workers have even commented on how good these radios are(I bring them on-site to listen since the FM really works well in big concrete warehouses and other places I end up) and asked where they can find them.
