The most sensitive FM and MW portable radio under $200 currently on the
market is the Redsun RP2100/Kaito 2100. It's great on SW too. Having recommended that I hasten to say that FM radio is line of sight and that it is unlikely that ANY radio will pick up an FM station 93 miles away over mountains. MW over that distance should be great though, as of course would be SW, the signals of which travel over vast distances. I live in a valley shielded by high mountains and can get reasonable reception of FM stations 60 miles away over the mountains, but I would think that is just about the limit. -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s RX Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods Drake SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Redsun RP2100 BW XCR 30, Sangean 803A.

TIA I am looking for a table sized clock radio with an earphone jack. I have spent many hours researching with my limited knowledge, for the right radio and just realised there was your newsgroup. I know newsgroup people are passionate about their stuff ![]() willing to trade your knowledge for anything you ever wanted to know about Kona Coffee ![]() This is what I want and I need your help because I am a farmer and not a radio guru. I want a radio cappable of getting an FM station from 93 miles away (the closest NPR station I have) and I live in a remote rural area with mountains and valleys. I have looked at Sangean, Eton, Tivoli, Boston etc. but I can not make my decision. I am willing to spend up to $200. Can you make me any recommendations? I honestly don't know if I need a short wave even. Sorry. Again thanking you in advance for any information you can give me or for a direction you can steer me in. aloha, beans --smithfarms.com farmers of pure kona roast beans to kona to email |
