Bill,

Your assessment of the RF-2200 is correct. I have owned three RF-2200
receivers, and a RF-2800 and RF-2600. The RF-2200 is the quietest of them
all, while being as sensitive or more so. The lack of noisy digital circuits
is the key. The RF-2200 was the first of Panasonic's "Command" series, and
in many people's opinion was the best.

This radio is a lot of fun in an RF-quiet environment; the RF-2200 is my
favorite radio to take camping. My 2nd choice for tuning around the bands
next to a campfire is the Eton E1.

Gary,
I agree with you about the RF-2200, I have one, minus the whip
antenna, but still pulling in great DX with the swivel antenna. If I
could only find a replacement whip, it would be in perfect condition.
