Default Good AM Medium Wave Receivers?

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

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?
