Take a look at the Kenwood R-1000 (Ebay, ham swaps). It is not only an
excellent receiver but it's one beautiful radio as well.

Another option for you, if you like the KA-2100, is to buy C. Crane's
version http://www.ccrane.com/radios/shortwa...cradio-sw.aspx
. This is almost exactly the same as your Redsun/Kaito, priced
somewhat higher, but sold by a company that, for all its faults, will
stand behind your radio and will offer excellent after-the-sale
service and support.

I have the CCRadio-SWP. I really like it. It works almost
as well as my Sony ICF-2002.

I have the CCRadio-SW also and it is great on MW DX, have not really
tried it on shortwave, using my HQ-145XC for that part. *I got the
radio on the advice of John Plimmer, who is very knowledgeable on MW
DX'ing.

Mine is the smaller SWP. It, too, works great on MW DX. Last
winter I was able to bring in Minneapolis at 1200 from Denver.
SW performance is pretty good. FM is not good. My Aiwa CR-LD100
is much better with FM.
