Panasonic rf2800 replacement
I have a Panasonic RF 2800 that I bought in 1978.
It has been in daily use in my kitchen for Many years. Evidently lightning finally got it thru the AC mains. I like the rather large for a portable speaker it tends to reproduce the bass components of the audio much better than other portables with smaller cases The radio will sit in my kitchen on top of the refrigerator most of the time, so size and portability are not major concerns. Features that are important to me a Ease of use, e.g. good ergonomics audio fidelity, Digital readout on Shortwave, internal power supply AC mains and Batteries in case commercial power goes out, built in telescopic antenna, and external antenna connectors. I have looked at the S350 and the satelit 800. Does anybody out there have any other suggestions on a replacement? D Yemiola AI8O |

D Yemiola AI8O Any of the Panasonic radios in that series would be a good replacement...2600, 2800 and 2900. I believe the 2600 is a later model and is usually priced reasonably on Ebay. |

Danielle, # 1 - One of the older 'used' Panasonic "RF" Series AM/FM Shortwave Radios like the RF-2200, RF-2800, RF-2900 or RF2600 may again meet your needs for a reliable Kitchen Radio . . . RF2800/2900 = http://www.dxing.com/rx/rf2800.htm RF2600 = http://www.dxing.com/rx/rf799.htm eBAY PANASONIC RF = http://tinyurl.com/zr9z5 http://search.ebay.com/search/search...trypage=search # 2 - The Grundig {Eton} S350 or S350DL Radios -or- the newer Redsun RP2100 may fill your needs for a reliable Kitchen Radion Radio with that "Big Speaker" Sound . eBAY REDSUN = http://tinyurl.com/jdzd4 http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/s...trypage=search # 3 - Another opinion is to use a Pair of Self-Powered Computer {Stereo} Speakers connected to any 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio to " F I L L " the room with Wonderful Sound. OBTW - Down in Oakland,CA my Kitchen Radio is a Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio and the 4" Speaker sounds great by itself for AM Radio Listening. Plus I use a Pair of Self-Powered Computer {Stereo} Speakers connected to the Line-Outs and they give me Left-and-Right Stereo with the Radio's Speaker as the Center-Sub-Woofer for exceptional FM Stereo Radio Listening. SELF-POWERED STEREO SPEAKERS = http://tinyurl.com/zhkyb http://electronics.search-desc.ebay....2QQsacatZ14990 # 4 - Here is another Shortwave Radio Speaker alternative to consider is Big Sound is your thing. http://cgi.ebay.com/SOUND-STUDIO-STE...QQcmdZViewItem hope this helps ~ RHF |

I have a Panasonic RF-2800 in excellent condition. I am the original owner. It still has the original earphone, carrying strap and sun visor. The original manual and receipt for the radio are also in excellent condition. I have been thinking about selling the radio. If you are interested, please contact me via email to "dan at islenet dot com". |
