I'm waiting for the RP3000 but wonder how long before it's going to be
out. It will supposedly have SSB capability.

FO&A,
No so great Ad Copy on the website : "A professional Dual Conversion Radio that you can expect !" http://www.kaitousa.com/KA2100.htm 'expect' most likeky should have been "Respect" ~ RHF IMHO - The Redsun RP2100 is a very nice 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio featuring Dual Conversion PLL Circuitry that does provide very Respectable performance for a radio in it's price range around $105 on eBay directly from China (PRC). KAITO KA2100 - Value-and-Service - With a US Price of about $130 the re-badged Kaito KA2100 with English Radio Control Markings would be a competitive priced radio for those US Consumers who would want a US Manufactures (Distributors) Warranty and if needed a local USoA Product Return Address. KAITO KA2100 = http://www.kaitousa.com/KA2100.htm ABOUT - Kaito USA http://www.kaitousa.com/aboutus.htm Kaito Electronics, Inc. (USA) was Established in 1997 as a Subsidiary of CEIEC ShenZhen.

The "SYNC" Button as in AM Synchronous Detector http://www.fenu-radio.ch/Redsun%20RP3000.jpg +PLUS+ A detailed look at the LCD Screen shows a [SYNC] Icon to the Right of the Frequency Number. http://www.fenu-radio.ch/Redsun%20RP3000.jpg YES - IT LOOKS LIKE AM SYNCHRONOUS DETECTION [ AM SYNC ] IS PART OF THE REDSUN RP3000 RADIO . http://www.fenu-radio.ch/Redsun%20RP3000.jpg One Question - At What Price ? ? ?

You can buy the RP2100 from a VERY reputable dealer in China on eBay for
$56 bucks new, English labels and all. $130.00 is too much money.

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. |

Since we are on the subject tho I will have to tell you that I have a silver DE1103 and then I bought the Black KA1103. After having the black radio I will never go back to the silver. NEO |

The Degen is 24 bucks and the Red Sun is 48 bucks. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me since both are small packages. |
Ouch!
I ordered the unit from Kaito for $141.73 Let me tell you that that is a lot of money for a radio that costs about 57 dollars on Epay. I am glad to have the conus warranty though. I see a few units have come across with no audio on Yahoo group although I think one fixed itself. It comes with the KA33 (I think that is number) antenna. That is a loop antenna that looks like the KA31 but does MW bamd as well and has a coupling unit for the ferrite bar. I'm sure I will have fun with radio and it has IF out for experiments with SSB and AM and so forth. 73 N9NEO JUST SAY NEO! |

I see a few units have come across with no audio on Yahoo group although I think one fixed itself. I can only remember one set that suddenly lost audio, probably the power amp IC failed (greets from bathtub curve). Who knows what the fussy one had.

Given that the rx benefits from a selective shortwave antenna anyway, not a bad idea at all. It remains to be seen of how much benefit the MW part of the antenna is (the rx is no slouch on the built-in ferrite antenna).
