Some of the stations that I logged for the first time are located in:Īlas, nothing from Alaska, Hawaii, or Texas. That helped me identify at least 15 more stations. That list included nearby stations and some further-away stations that I expected to get. After logging a good number of stations, I wrote a station wishlist on an index card to guide me to the more important/likely frequencies. Once I picked up a signal, I stayed with it until I verified the callsign or station slogan, or I found an online audio stream to compare against. My previous list of logged mediumwave stations provided a starter guide. Using three of my radios and more favorable conditions, I logged 126 stations. I just completed another round, during November and the first half of December 2006. My first attempt at mediumwave DX was in April 2006, when I logged 89 stations with my Tecsun BCL-2000. This looks like a positive development for Kaito, and a potential problem for Eton unless they can come up with a strong update to the S350DL. * Now, Redsun's RP2100 will be resold in North America as the Kaito KA2100 * Kaito sold the KA1106 design to Grundig/Eton, which sells it as the E5 / G5 * Degen radios (many, not all) are sold in North America under the Kaito name * Kailong (aka Kaide/Kchibo) manufactures the YB400PE / G4000A for Grundig/Eton * Tecsun's BCL-3000 is also sold as the Grundig/Eton S350DL (among other products) The connections among Chinese radio manufacturers is somewhat puzzling: This gives Kaito a product to compete with the Grundig/Eton S350DL. The list price for the KA2100 is US$129.95, which is a hefty premium over the prices currently available on eBay, when ordering an RP2100 directly from China. This appears to be the same product as the Redsun RP2100. Intriguing news for those interested in China's newest radio manufacturer Redsun: the Kaito USA website lists a new product labeled KA2100.
