I was playing my sony ICF-SW7600GR in my bed room and had a nice
signal on 5070 and decided to take it into the kitchen while I was
preparing mid-rats. I decided to give the Kaito KA2100 on top of the
refer a workout and nothin doin - it was total noise. I turned the RF
gain all the way down and still noise. Now I am temporary living in
an apartment with lots of noise sources around but I thought this fact
may be of interest to you all. It doesn't seem the Kaito and maybe
Red Sun and maybe C Crane have enough noise sheilding inside.

I would like to hear others' comments on this. If you have the means
to test out then please let group know.

This is not to say that one is better than the other in all ways, but
for apartment dwellers with large noise environment you may want to
consider the Sony over the Red Sun, or at least consider sticking in
some sheilding.
