DC - Nice to see you posting here.

Let-Us-Do-The-Math :

1 - Redsun RP2100 Radio via eBay from China (PRC)
eBay Buy-It-Now Price $56.90
Plus China Mail Cost of $48.00
Equals a Total Price of $104.90

This is about $105 to get the Redsun RP2100 Radio
to your Door and all you have is a Mainland China
{Redsun} Warrenty that will cost you $48 to start
with to Mail it back to China. {Let the Fun Begin}

So... A Price of $130 in the USA for a Kaito KA2100
with a USA Warranty with return Mail within the USA
IMHO - Ain't Such A Bad Deal ! ~ RHF

May I State - In The Interest Of Full Disclosure :
I bought my Redsun RP2100 Radio via eBay
from China -and- I like it very much and feel
that it is a very good 'portable' AM & FM plus
Shortwave Radio with many quality features.

If you like the GE Superadio and the Grundig S350 Radios :
Then get the Redsun RP2100 Radio -and- get the best of both.

NOTES :
1 - I like it very much = Love It !
2 - Feel = Feelings* Are Facts.
* Because as Radio Enthusiasts :
"We" each have a Relationship with "Our" Radios.

Kaito are now offering the Redsun RP 2100 as the Kaito KA2100
see
http://www.kaitousa.com/KA2100.htm
Selling for $130

I have the RP2100 since August and highly recommend this radio for super
sound and very sensitive to weak signals on FM and MW
Great performer on SW as well. Solid, robust and well built

Is shipping really $48? I bought the DE1103 from China and I don't
recall spending that much. I am thinking of the RP2100 radio because
it has 455kHz out and would be good for detector experiments and I hear
sound is pretty good too.
