[A-DX] Fw: [mwdx] A remarkable MW portable

["Wolfgang Bueschel" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

Wird der chinesische Redsun RP2100 (oder Kaito KA-2100, Elta GLOBESTAR 3569, 
Roadstar TRA-2350P) hier in der Runde auf MW genutzt?

John aus Südafrika lobt das Gerät für 95 $ [über Ebay] über den Klee. Auch
aus Canada kommen sehr gute Einschätzungen - auch bezogen auf den Preis.
Universal radio hat den rx für 90 $ im Angebot.
