Thanks, Vimal (I got the malware message, the one Dan mentions, also on Google Chrome but no problem on Firefox):

UPDATED Review – CC Radio-SW/Redsun RP-2100'' by Jay Allen

http://radiojayallen.com/2012/02/04/updated-review-cc-radio-swredsun-rp-2100/

For me, the big news is that the CCRadio-SW gets better FM than the Grundig S350 and equal AM. That makes the CCRadio-SW the field radio to get.

If someone could list the review in it's entirety (with Jays permission of course), that would be great.

Here's why I am going to heed the Chrome warning and not use Firefox to access the site...

I had noticed that every time I accessed RadioIntel, my Norton was blocking malicious web attacks. Eventually, I ended up with a medium risk trojan and had to download a specific removal tool from Norton to get rid of it.

Chrome seems to be preventing me from even going to the page for that same reason. I'm going to err on the side of caution...unless someone can convince me that it was just a coincidence.

The malware message seems to be due to the fact that radiointel was hacked...so far http://radiojayallen.com
site is still safe and owner has increased its protection level

Like Dan, I am still getting the warning and don't care to risk it by bypassing the security measure. I too would appreciate it if someone would post the review at a safer location. The CC Radio SW is one of my favorites and I'm interested to read Jay's impressions of it.

Thanks!

This radio RP-2100 aka CCRadio SW is so great that it only needs one little thing to become a legend.... It need its Factory to stop its production, and many people would swear this was one the best radio ever made by man.... What a people we are....shame on us.

Jeff:
You only see the tip of the iceberg, because not only is it better in FM but much much better in AM than the Grundig or any other radio, in fact its performance in AM is as good as the Superadios though your Radio could need a little antenna coil adjustment to get its full potential.
And about SW performance this radio is GOD !

I recently got a Redsun RP-2100, I've bought it mainly for its IF output which is needed for decoding DRM broadcasts. It's a fine radio with a superb sound. However it oveloads very easily on SW in the presence of strong signals, even when using only its own telescopic antenna. And for DX-ing there is absolutely no chance to use an external antenna withour a preselector.

I'd venture to say that this is my best non-DSP portable receiver for FM and one of my best AM receivers. As far as SW goes, reception is great. What's a bit unfortunate is that there's no SSB offered. Yes, I understand that you can use a plug-in but that's unwieldy. Other than this single oversight, this is one awesome radio.

And it totally (and I mean totally) blows the S350 out of the water.

Folks,

Unfortunately, radiointel has been hacked and is now closed down. Searches pointing toward it will show warnings.It may have been vulnerable since several people had log in rights and only one of them had to have a weak password to allow a hacker easy intrusion.

Fortunately for me, I started my own website last summer, and as I am the only person involved with it, and I have maximum security settings for it, the site has not been hacked and is completely safe. You will have no problems if you log onto it:
