I have both the GE SRIII and the Redsun RP2100 (Kaito KA2100 and CC
Crane SW). The SRIII is good but very hissy and the dial calibration
is so poor it is really tedious to DX the MW band with though. I did
once get WWKB Buffalo N.Y. with it barefoot, but since I got the much
better RP2100 the SRIII is now confined to the kitchen.

The RP2100 is superb for VERY long distance MW DX and is a pure joy to
own and operate. Highly recommended - very quiet on long distance
reception too.

It's also superb for DXing distant FM stations, although it's HF SW
reception is average, about the same as the Sony 7600.

Hello John,
What is the difference in the Degen/Kaito/Redsun radio line? Are they
all the same? I saw that CCrane has a special on fixing the Super
Radio III to make it more accurate on the dial and to fix the tone
control problems, probably that "hissing" sound you mentioned. They
charge $10 for that service, wonder if it is worth it? I have found
the tuning "touchy" and I compared my old DX-440 on MW and found it to
be excellent, and with digital readout!
