Duck !

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

Indeed. Here's a Redsun RP3000 image that I found through images.google.com. The link from radiointel.com wasn't working for some reason.

Note the "SSB fine" knob, and the "USB/LSB" button:

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.

Thank You "WeatherAll",

For this 'revealing' Image of the Redsun RP3000 Radio

REDSUNRP3000 = http://www.fenu-radio.ch/Redsun%20RP3000.jpg

Yes - There is a SSB Fine {Tuning} Knob
- - - But - To the Right of the Knob

Yes - There is a USB/LSB Button
- - - And - Above the Button

=IS= Aaaaaaaaaa Can You See It ? ? ?
- - - Yes Sireee Can You Believe It ? ? ?

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 ? ? ?
Under US $200 ? ? ?
-Or- Somewhere-in-Between ? ? ?
Over US $300 ? ? ?

Will the Redsun RP3000 Radio be "The Radio" that
puts-to-rest the Legend of the Sony ICF-2010 Radio ?

only time will tell -and- it's now the year 2007 ~ RHF

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.

Kaito are now offering the Redsun RP 2100 as the Kaito KA2100

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 :

I don't recall RHF saying anything about sex. He said relationship.
Not sexual relationship. 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.
