The presently in 'pre-production' Tecsun S-2000 Radio which
looks a lot like a Mini-Grundig Satellit 800 Radio may be
your replacement Dream Radio for the Panasonic RF2200 Radio

For One and All,
.
If you can find and take a look at the Tecsun Radio Club Roomhttp://www.tecsun.com.cn/radioclub/images/Pic00029.jpg
(R&D) you will see many old and new Radios there including
the Panasonic RF-2200 Radio.
.
IMHO - The Tecsun BCL-2000 was a step in the right direction
and the Redsun RP2100 is another step along that path . . .
The new Redsun RP3000/RP3100 may be the next step ? ? ?
.
FWIW - Radio-Electronics manufacturing has changed greatly
in the 30 Years from 1977 to 2007 and a 'close-copy' of the
outward appearance and styling may be 'Doable" by the insides
will be cost effective and very different.

- I am using my BCL3000 with a PK AM loop antenna for AM DX.
- The results are good, but I would like to try something better.

If Panasonic produces a new RF-2200, I would definitely be
interested. Mine was stolen from my hotel room in 1992.



That will happen sometime after the winter of the blue snow. One of
the new Redsun receivers or an Eton E1 will likely outperform the
venerable 2200.
