Default Redsun RP-2100

Dear Jim,

ARE you hearing images on this radio?

How many IF bandwidths does it have?

How does the tuning knob "feel?" (The one on the Grundig S350 is
hopeless.) Any "backlash?"

What kind of external antenna connector is on the radio?

Finally, did you buy yours from Lipyn's eBay shop? If not, how much did
you pay, if you don't mind my asking?

Would you tell me, having owned the set for several days, your
impressions of its construction quality?

I presume this set has no synchronous detection circuit. Am I correct?

I also presume that, with its large speaker, it has quite good audio
quality on FM as well as MW. Correct? (Can you compare its FM audio
quality to the GE Superadio, the S350 or Satellit 800?)

Sorry for all the questions, but I do appreciate your replies. The
radio looks interesting.

Best,

Joe

Yes Joe it IS double conversion. I ALSO thought you needed 12khz output for
DRM.
I also thought dual conversion virtually assured you wouldn't pick up
multiple images throughout the h.f. range...

Dear Jim,

Is this radio dual-conversion?

I thought that, for proper DRM reception, the output had to be 12 kHz.
Am I incorrect? What would you need to receive DRM with this receiver?

Best,

Joe

I just got mine today. A definite improvement over the Grundig/Eton
S-350/BCL2000/3000 series of radios.
PLL tuner. (NO DRIFT)
50 memories
455 khz I.F. output for DRM (Why they made it a PAL connector, I'll

never
know)
Separate bass and treble with an RF gain that actually works throughout

it's
travel (unlike the S350)
Not only does the display light up, so does the buttons...
4 "D" cells or 4 "AA"'s

BIG TURN-OFF (It seems ALL radios have at least ONE)
NO NUMERIC KEYPAD!
Luckily the fast setting gets you through 10 MHz fairly quickly. There

are 3
10 MHz segments...

How good is it? I dunno, I just now got it.

Anyone else get one? What do you think of it?
