    Redsun RP2100 Whip Antenna Replacement

    Thanks. What I find amazing is that all these radios are basically the same unit: Redsun RP2100 Kaito KA2100 ELTA 3569 K-PO WR2100 C Crane Radio SW ROADSTAR TRA-2350 Silicon Scientific 75498 And no one stocks parts and /or repairs them?

    Redsun RP2100 Whip Antenna Replacement

    Hopefully someone can assist me. I had an old Redsun RP2100 AM/FM/SW radio that I gave my grandson. The folding FM/SW antenna broke off and I need a replacement. I've been looking a bit but no luck so far. Any ideas on where to go or who to ask?

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Do not remove from package. Do not purchase, just send us the money. Ok, I'm being a wise *** but it sounds like lawyer-speak to me. I mean many things nowadays are water resistant or proof i.e. airtight. I can't remember that last flashlight I bought that wasn't sealed with O-rings. Then again...

    Update: I've used it several times and this is awesome. I'm telling you, for the price you can't beat it.

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Oh, and thanks to @jabe1 (better late than never 😉) for recommending the ThruNite TH20 Pro. I had to use it again yesterday and am very pleased with it.

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Tried it out around the house and it's pretty nice. We're rural so we have to scan the yard before letting the dogs out and keep an eye on them. Our go-to light for this is a Wuben L50. For the heck of it, I used the ThruNite TH20 Pro. For all practical purposes, one lit the yard up as good as...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    OK, she arrived yesterday and I charged up the cell. Simple, easy to use, very bright (for my needs), and seems comfortable to wear. I like it so far. I would like to get a backup 14500 cell or two. I think I'm going to like this style of headlamp and there may be a Zebralight in my future. I'd...

    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    Well Bob, to each his own. If you're happy with what you have and how you're doing things, far be it from me to tell you to change. As for myself, I wouldn't be without one. For me, it was like going from an outhouse, which worked perfectly well for many, many decades, to inside plumbing. They...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    You have the correct link except I bought mine on Bezos' Circus with a discount coupon. Less than $23 out the door. I do have a charger. The various built-in chargers in things are nice but I prefer a dedicated charger. To add, I got the neutral white. I do not like anything past 3 to 4,000 K.

    Headlamp? Why do I need a headlamp?

    @Bob A This is just my 2¢ worth and I’m no portable light expert or flashlightaholic. I am just an end user who gets most of his tech info from the kind and knowledgeable folkshere. Honestly, the first time I tried one I said aloud “baby, where have you been all my life”. How many times I...

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    @NRiyo3 I have no doubt that you're correct. Honestly, I ordered the ThruNite TH20 Pro because it was half the price and I'm not a heavy user. Now, if that doesn't hold up well, then I'll pop for the Zebralight and undoubtedly become sold on them. @PaladinNO I'll head over to that thread in a...
