Dave,

I think maybe you have it confused with the RF-2800
(http://www.dxing.com/rx/rf2800.htm). From what I read, this was about
the same quality as the RF-2200 but had noise due to the digital
electronics that reduced its sensitivity compared to the RF-2200.

But you're right about a fair price...should pop to over $200 by the end
of the auction.

My two cents...

Bill,

Your assessment of the RF-2200 is correct. I have owned three RF-2200
receivers, and a RF-2800 and RF-2600. The RF-2200 is the quietest of them
all, while being as sensitive or more so. The lack of noisy digital circuits
is the key. The RF-2200 was the first of Panasonic's "Command" series, and
in many people's opinion was the best.

This radio is a lot of fun in an RF-quiet environment; the RF-2200 is my
favorite radio to take camping. My 2nd choice for tuning around the bands
next to a campfire is the Eton E1.

Gary,
I agree with you about the RF-2200, I have one, minus the whip
antenna, but still pulling in great DX with the swivel antenna. If I
could only find a replacement whip, it would be in perfect condition.

My mistake. I still think it's worth a buck fifty.

John,
Having bought one new for around that price, its value is really more
of a collectible. Mine still works perfectly, but it is not as good
as the CCRadio for accuracy and ability to DX.

Bob that Redsun RP2100 (Kaito KA2100 & CC Crane SW) is sure the most
satisfying portable radio I've owned. I can't envisage anything that
beats it on MW DX, it's just superb. Nice to know it outperforms your
RF2200 there. Still available from China for $110 as well.
