I did a quick scan of Universal's used and sold list and found that
the last three 2600's had sold for $249, $269, and $239.

Yeah, it's true, Universal's prices on used radios can be worse than
those on eBay.

Not exactly in
the same league as the $100

Nope, it's not. I acknowledged earlier that the '2600 would run ya
higher. I compared the two simply because of design similarities and
because they had both been discussed in this thread.


S350.One of the criteria for my list was that the radios sould be
currently on the market or easily available. I am sure that the RF 2600
is a good radio but it is too expesive for my list and hard to find.

Yep, the '2600 is a fun radio. But for most shortwave listeners, it's
unlikely to have great appeal, unless there's a significant nostalgia
factor at play...

A good Sony ICF-SW7600GR or even some of the Kaito/Degen portables
would offer much more band for the buck.

Best of listenin' to ya...
