Dreaming of a 'new'PanasonicRF-2200 Radio . . . In Your Future ?

For One and All,

If you can find and take a look at the Tecsun Radio Club Roomhttp://www.tecsun.com.cn/radioclub/images/Pic00029.jpg
(R&D) you will see many old and new Radios there including
thePanasonicRF-2200 Radio.
.
IMHO - The Tecsun BCL-2000 was a step in the right direction
and the Redsun RP2100 is another step along that path . . .
The new Redsun RP3000/RP3100 may be the next step ? ? ?
.
FWIW - Radio-Electronics manufacturing has changed greatly
in the 30 Years from 1977 to 2007 and a 'close-copy' of the
outward appearance and styling may be 'Doable" by the insides
will be cost effective and very different.

- I am using my BCL3000 with a PK AM loop antenna for AM DX.
- The results are good, but I would like to try something better.

No thanks to screwbay, now you can't touch an RF-2200... at least I can't on
a disability income. Damned collectors ruin it for the little guy. rage

I wouldn't be so quick to jump on a Tecsun, remember the Grundig 800 was
made by Tecsun and the quality problems that had.

Out of curiosity I opened up my RP-2100 and it has more cold solder joints
than I could count. Nice radio but very poor workmanship... I pretty much
think it'll die after a couple years and I'll be resoldering everything.
From a solder joint perspective, I'm suprised it works at all.

Not like my 1959 Royal 1000 that still sports shiny solder joints... what we
used to be able to build here.

Be careful! Some here are going to accuse you of being on welfare.
