ranier lichtes top 5 portables (from 1987):

panasonic rf-B60
sony 2010
sony 2002
toshiba rp-f11
satellit 400
uniden 2021

sets he put in the desktop that could be in the above category a

sony crf-1
sony ic-6800wa
sony crf-320a
satellit 650

so no where is the RF-2200

and ranier is a top authority in my book


I have two RF-2200's and enjoy them a lot. I personally rate them very high.
I would rate the 2200 in the top category but I don't think they are worth
over $200. more like $150 in excellent condition

I was trying to point out it wasn't really a steal but that radio is only
worth about $80 in that condition


there is NO source for the proper antenna and there MAY be a serious
problem with the radio.


please give me the list of the experts who gave you this top 5 list.

Even at the $135 final bid, that's not too bad of a price for this radio
at the "collectible" level. Definitely not a "steal", but not horribly
overpriced. This model sells easily for $200+ in excellent physical and
operational shape. The antenna can be replaced for a few bucks from the
right source and the radio probably wasn't used much on SW, so the band
switch contacts probably just need a good cleaning with Deoxit. The
RF-2200 is considered to be in the top 5 best shortwave portables ever
made.

so what if it has a broken antenna and doesn't receive shortwave ????
