The Degen 1103 and the Kaito 1103 are excellent receivers, but the front end FETS are prone to blow out.
Though a bit larger, I love the Tecsun PL 600.
Very robust.
Could use a line out and line in jack.
Needless to say, my unit has not experienced blown-out FETs.
I considered buying two in the beginning in case I were ever to drop it or whatever, but have other even less expensive receivers as back-ups (never have to use them).
