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.
See my comment at:

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

I have heard two glowing reports about this new radio, including from
the author of this review - whose opinion I value very highly. The
Redsun RP2100

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.

Default Good AM Medium Wave Receivers? Sony ICF-EX5?

If iboc winds up being on full time,day and night,,,, what is the use in
buying a good DX Radio anyway? About four or five years ago,I bought a
radio at Sears.The radio is Stereo (but not real quality stereo,if you
know what I mean?) AM FM with a CD Player on top of the radio and two
seperate speakers.I have the radio put up somewhere now and as usual,I
would have to move a lot of my junk out of the way to even get at the
radio.It is a grey color radio and I think the brand name is something
like Sound (whatever it is,similar to those GPX radios.Some of those off
the wall brand name radios are really good at DXing AM stations) I paid
about $30.00 for the radio.I am pretty amazed at how well it picks up
long distance AM stations.

Oops, not filters! It has selectable sideband synch detection (USB & LSB).
