10 per band, for a total of 50. Bands are AMBCB (9/10 kHz), FM and SW
1.7..10, 10..20, 20..30 MHz. (The SW bands are there for convenience
only, they dot no reflect in frontend filtering though that wouldn't
have hurt. An ambitious modder might be able to do something about that
using one of the unused bandswitch sections though.) While strong signal
handling on shortwave could be better (the high maximum RF gain
emphasises this even more), performance on AMBCB and FM is very good,
reflecting the above-average effort put in there. For those interested,
there is a schematic (called "service manual") available for the
Roadstar TRA-2350P, a rebranded RP2000 (same radio w/o presets).

Ist ein Sammler von Grundig-Uhrenradios eigentlich ein Sonoclocker?

That's the wrong rx. This would be better for a start:

Or this quite well-known review:

And for my take on a rebranded RP2000 (same minus the presets):

How Does One Read the Frequency of the Radio ? ? ?

The small LCD provides a digital frequency readout. The MP3 provides an
analog display in addition to many other features. This is from
second-hand info. Both the MP3 Recorder and the Radio base for it can
operate independently.

Definitely not-there is no comparison. I gave my 350 to my wife to use
around the house-for that it's fine.

I liked the RP2100 so much I got two, and I'm damn fussy.

The "Sub' - LCD is only four (4) Digits which would be OK
for a Clock and AM and FM Frequency Read-Out. -But-
not very handy for a Shortwave (HF) Frequency Read-Out.

AM : 530 - 1710 {kHz}

FM : 88.0 - 108.0 {MHz}

Shortwave 5.125 (ok) -but- 13.12_ (?) {MHz}


IMHO this could have been solved by using a little bit bigger
Six (6) Digit 'Sub' - LCD Display 12:34 AM/PM which would
have then allowed :

AM : 530k - 1710k {kHz}

FM : 88.0_M - 108.0_M {MHz}

Shortwave 5.125M (ok) -but- 13.125M MHz (ok) {MHz}

I guess my focus is on "The Radio" part of 'The Radio'
and not the MP3 Gadgetry affixed to 'The Radio' ~ RHF

shows that the kHz digit (or 0.00n MHz digit) is displayed, albeit in a
smaller size from the rest.
