Thanks for the heads up! Looks like the Grundig 350 (Kaito/Redsun 2100)

got a nice face lift. Sigh... it's a great price point, but with Grundig's recent quality control record, especially the G3, I'm not sure I would be the first to get one of these! Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA Introducing the Grundig S450DLX: |

Wondering if the tuning is any better than on the 350DL?

For DXers, I would offer that a Tecsun PL-310 or 380, mated to a modest Terk loop (or jacked up with a 7.5" Amidon ferrite), would likely have better sensitivity and (by far) better selectivity. FM on the Tecsuns is of course superb.

The case on the S450DLX is reminiscent of the to-be-released CCrane CCRadio-EP. It appears that the Chinese factories have a "new look", more understated with lots of black and no shiny panels, that they are using now??

It's an interesting improvement of the S-350, S-350DL from Tecsun, and then the RP-2100 from Redsun. I believe both Tecsun built models were analog and single conversion, and the Redsun was dual conversion and PLL. The 450 has dual conversion but goes back to analog tuning. I wonder if the SSB converters sold for the Redsun will work with the new radio? Also, I wonder who is building them? They even have a stereo line input for room filling sound from an ULR! - FARMERIK

Provided they are using a 455 khz IF (a good bet), the 2100's SSB adapter should work. The 2100 had PAL connectors/jacks, whereas the 450 now has more standard (at least for over here...) F connectors.

I bought an adapter but never got a 2100: does this mean I absolutely, positively HAVE to get a 450? Kevin --- In ultralightdx@..., "farmerik" <farmerik@...> wrote:

The TG37 ssb adapter may will not works on the other
models if they have fully different internal design on 455KHz output
circuit...:(

Thanks for the word of caution - you probably know more about them than I do! If/when the S450DLX actually starts to be sold, hopefully the old TG37 adapter will work, or perhaps someone will come out with a new adapter that does work.

No excuse for a radio this size not to have true digital tuning and a number pad for frequency entry.
As pointed out, Grundig/Eton has a sad recent reputation for poor quality control. They sell price, not quality in my opinion. Not one of the Chinese radios has come close to the quality of my favorite Japanese made Sony 7600GR, which is not a perfect radio, but is a very good one. Just my opinion, Neil Bell KJ6FBA |

Hi Kevin,
Actually I don't have any information about that new radio,
so I am not sure if the tg37 will works on it or not, if not, then will need to
do some design change...-:)

My RP-2100 came from Kaito, and clearly claimed to be dual conversion. Until Universal Radio have some in stock, I guess they have to rely on ad copy. Maybe they can or will correct the listing. I did not see any memory buttons on the new 'Heavy Weight' from 'Grundig', but it does use a push button to select the tuning speed, and as was pointed out before, it does have a PLL label in one of the small photos you can select at Universals site. As with ULR's from China, there are language translation problems. Some ad copy called both the S-350 and the S-350DL digital because they had a frequency read out, but they were analog sets. My S-350 got more AM stations than my S-350DL or RP-2100. - FARMERIK

Well, my CCRadio-SW, which is essentially identical to the Redsun RP2100, says "Dual Conversion" right on the display, and the descriptions of the RP2100 on eBay and elsewhere on the Internet say "Dual Conversion" as well.

The RP2100 is from Redsun company, it is digitall PLL based
radio, dual conversion on AM mode (including MW band and SW band), the 1st IF =
55.845MHz, the 2nd IF = 455KHz.

I think the descriton on UR site also mentioned 9/10 step selection. This feature fits better to a synthesized VFO (used in RP2100) than an analog one (used in DL350).
