Default To John Plimmer: CCRadio-SW/RP-2100

Hello John,
I am looking at both of these radios and they seem to be identical.
CC Crane has the one year warranty, and the Redsun comes from Chinese
distributors with BIG shipping charges! I know that you have one of
the 2100's. How is it on the MW band? I find myself listening
exclusively to the BCB. This radio has both a 10kc/9kc switch for
DX'ing the European stations. I value your opinion.
Thanks,
Bob Grimes

Hi Bob,
The RP2100 is quite the nicest and most used portable I have ever
owned and that's lots of them. I bought mine from Tquchina on eBay and
he has sold thousands with a 100% positive feedback = his service is
fantastic. A Kaito KA2100 is also available in the States if you shop
around a bit = do some searching.

The RP2100 is just fantastic on the AM BCB MW reception - see my
review at:

Good luck

Gary,
Thanks for the review! Did you think that the Twin Coil Ferrite built
into the CC Radio SW helped the AM any? I have a Terk AM Loop at
present to help out my GE SuperRadioIII.


I'm sure the twin coil ferrite built into the CCRadioSW helped that
radio, but that antenna is NOT large. The CCRadio STILL is more
sensitive. I use the Terk AM Loop to help out the CCRadio and the
CCRadioSW. Of course it depends on the frequency as to whether or not
it helps much. But no matter what, the CCRadio still beats the
CCRadioSW on the MW band.

I've also compared the CCRadio with the GE Superadio III and the
Panasonic RF-2200 and the CCRadio beats them both on sensitivity.
