Chuck (who has the Anjan DTS-09 and expects the DTS-10 to have similar performance) has apprised us of the Anjan DTS-10 radio selling (soon?) on Take Radio for $129.99 plus free shipping. I wonder how the DTS-10 stacks up against the Redsun RP-2100.

The DTS-10 just screams Redsun RP-2100. I wonder how similar they are.
Posted by: Jeffrey McMahon | May 25, 2010 at 06:20 PM
Does it have an auxiliary input?

Huge, readers and I look forward to your augmented Redsun. Bravo.

Guys, this could be a winner. Redsun RP 2100 with DSP. I looked at teh. specifications. They look impressive....

DTS-10 has neither Sync. detector nor DSP. It is dual conversion with SSB though.

There are about 60 of the DTS-10 for sale on Taobao, the Chinese equivalent of Ebay. One can go through a Taobao agent in China such as Obook, which charges a modest fee to receive it from a Chinese seller and then send it to you. I have ordered several things now this way. The Chinese Yuan trades at about 7:1 to the US Dollar, and going with an agent (with fees and extra shipping) means that you generally divide the Taobao asking price by 5 to get the US Dollar end cost. The DTS-10 is going for around 350 Yuan, so one could be had for $70 in about two weeks or so.

I just found the owner's manual for the DTS-10 at:
http://www.anjan.cn/product/sms.asp
It's a RAR file that unzips to a PDF. It's in Chinese, but so far I can tell that the DTS-10 has an mp3 AUX-In, FM stereo through the headphone, wide/narrow bandwidths, and AM and FM antenna jacks. Very small section on SSB, so perhaps only dual-sideband SSB as opposed to sideband-selectable. There is no mention of synch in the manual - there is an "AM Mode" option but it appears to be to select 9 or 19 khz tuning steps.
