The light is very nice. I often listen at night (XYL permitting) and the light works well, switching on when a button is pressed or the tune dial turned, then switching off after approx. 3 seconds (it can be on permanently if mains powered).

The LED lights in the flashlight feature work at low energy levels because they don't rely on bulbs for light This thing is highly sensitive on HF and darn good on AM and FM BCB too. Sound quality is good. But I think its the low noise floor of this receiver that really makes this receiver shine.

Wind-up radio tuners are truly blessings in disguise. These nifty little appliances do not get the recognition they deserve. They're the perfect device for emergency situations such as a power outage, and it's more than ideal for the outdoorsy type — whether that be a hiker, camper, angler, or gardener. Wind-up radios will provide the tunes, news, and entertainment that won't ever run out of juice (well, maybe temporarily — but you just get winding again). Audio quality is excellent. I hate any form of hiss in the audio sections and this radio has non. FM reception is far better than I have heard for a long time and is stereo with headphones. The speaker volume is more than adequate with 65 levels and I have mine set no higher than level 12, at high volumes there is some distortion but my ears hurt by then. With some help from Home Protect, we've compiled a list of everything you may need in a power outage:

The Degen DE13DSP Emergency AM/FM/SW Solar Powered Radio can receive radio stations in the AM/MW, FM, and Shortwave radio bands all of which are typically used to by emergency broadcasters. This receiver will allow reception of MW stations unable to be heard using other emergency radios, due to the implementation of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.It's as easy as winding the radio up via the crank on the side of the device for a few minutes, and then voila- you're able to tune into the news and music stations and listen for up to an hour. However, we're not sure you'll find any newfangled digital stations like you'd find on a DAB radio. To bring you comfort, we've carefully curated an edit of the very best wind-up radios of 2023 right here for you: Best wind-up radios at a glance

The Degen DE13DSP Emergency AM/FM/SW Solar Powered Radio also includes a torch and siren for emergency situations, when you need to gain to attention of emergency services, family, or rescuers. Regarding the faux analog dial, I kinda like it and don't mind the odd volume control either. I think some people make far too big of a deal about these features. The loose-feeling controls make it feel cheap though (which it is). On MW I can receive all the stations I require, I'm not into MW DX so a good range of UK stations during the day and european at night is the extent of my measurements of sensitivity. Again audio quality is great and selectivity very good. A valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product that you would like to share with others. Sound quality is not DE1103's forte, so it is not a surprise the Motoradio RP-M62 better performance in this regard. Also, RP-M62's AGC is not as agressive as is on more modern models, and in some cases it keeps noise floor very low and increases audio quality immensely. As for as sensitivity, selectivity, spurious and image rejection, the DE1103 exceeds a great deal.

My requirements were for a small HF SSB/CW receiver to replace a less than useful ATS-505, it had to be sensitive, selective. Low cost was required (as always) with ease of operation and a good pedigree. Frequency entry is easy, OK it's not the traditional telphone type keypad but I really like it. Enter the frequency and press BAND+ for 100kHz - 30MHz or BAND- for 76MHz - 108MHZ. I only believed the DE1103 was more sensitive than my old SW7600G after testing and verifying it myself. With its whip antenna, the difference is not difficult to notice. But it is when connected to an external antenna the DE1103's performance is much better compared to SW7600G's. When listening with its built in speaker, sound quality is more or less the same as the 7600G, but when using earphones the 7600G sounds much better. The DE1103 sounds dull and in some occasions not clear. So much so, I had to find a pair of headphones that matched it better.
