hi, I know people are using the Degen DE1103 for SSBreception (weather info) but when I go to purchase one there are numerous other models for sale as well. Are any of these as good or possibly better? thanks
From a quick Google the other shortwave radios may not have SSB.
If you Google "Degen DE1103 Review" you should come up with half a dozen or so reviews of the 1103. Even the ones that list some negative points like it.
