Dear Sir,

Another option for you, if you like the KA-2100, is to buy C. Crane's
version http://www.ccrane.com/radios/shortwa...cradio-sw.aspx
. This is almost exactly the same as your Redsun/Kaito, priced
somewhat higher, but sold by a company that, for all its faults, will
stand behind your radio and will offer excellent after-the-sale
service and support.

Best of luck,

I bought the CCrane version and am very happy with it. As you said,
it is from a company that will stand behind it and not some Ebay
seller/importer who has no reason to keep customers happy.
