the author of this review - whose opinion I value very highly. The

Hi,
I have an old GE Superradio that works well. I purchased a CCPlus
radio that has a problem with LED readout I am told is common.
Any AM radios currently in production that are good DX machines?
Thank you.

If you bought your CCRadio from the C.Crane store, they will replace
the display for $25, plus you pay to ship to them. They cover shipping
it back.

I've had a Redsun RP2100 for a couple of months now and can confirm that it
is far superior to my GE SRIII.
I regularly picks up stations 4,000 to 6,000 miles away.
It's just no contest with the SRIII, as it is digital, very quiet, lovely
sound and VERY sensitive on the MW band.

Buy it from tqchina on eBay, as he offers excellent service and has the
radio with the English markings (lypn has the Chinese markings)

Anything is far superior to a GE SR III.I have been told before that I
own a GE SR I,but it does not say Super Radio anything anywhere on the
radio.Trying to find a picture/photo of a radio like that one on the
internet is practically impossible.I have tried numerous times before.

-R- That's one way of telling a GE Superadio I (1)
from a the latter GE Superadio II (2).

The GE Superadio II (2) has the "Superadio" Badging
on it, and the 'original' GE Superadio I (1) does not.

I've had the RP2100 for a month now and I'm very pleased with it.
I got mine from Lypn and it came with english markings although
it was advertized as having chinese labeling.

John, thanks for your very detailed review of this radio!

If y'all happen to see junkinjudy on eBay,she owns a G.E.Super Radio
model no 7-2880B like mine.Her radio still looks just like brand new.I
can tell y'all though,she will not sell her radio.She and her hubby live
in Jackson.

John,
It sounds like you are ecstatic over the radio! How do you think that
it shapes up compared to the RF-2200? I have one of those with the
rotating rod antenna and it still is very sensitive and gets good BCB.
I asked you a while back about getting good BCB DX, I live on the
coast here in Hobe Sound, FL, one mile from the beach. What kind of
loop antenna would be good that you could recommend. I read that you
have a Datong, but what about the other loops?

"What do you mean there's no movie?"

Ecstatic is the right word - the Redsun RP2100 is the best 100 bucks I have
ever spent on a portable.
Unfortunately I have never seen a RF-2200 in South Africa so can't comment
on that.

I did send you a detailed reply on this group to you regarding your original
query - if you missed it you will have to look it up in the archives.

At my home QTH my main antenna is the RF Systems DX1 Pro that gives
outstanding results on LW and MW. I did recommend to you if you want a loop
to look at the Wellbrook's - the ALA1530 or ALA100.

When I go on DXpeditions I take along my Kiwa MW Loop that performs equally
well with a well laid out 1,000 foot beverage antenna
