eHAM "Review" of the Grundig FR200 / Tecsun Green 88
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2573
FWIW: Tecsun has a 'newer' GREEN (Environmentally Friendly) Radio;
the Tecsun Green 138 has many good features and full coverage
from 3.2 MHz to 22 MHz.
Note - NO Gap between 7.6-9.2 MHz as with the Green 88.
http://www.tecsun.com.cn/product/138/138-1.htm
The Tecsun GREEN 138 has a Slightly 'smaller' Vertical Format.
Note - More Portable at 88% of the Size and Weight of the Green 88.
The 'style' of this Tecsun Green 138 Emergency Radio sort of looks
like one of the old GE Portable Radio Models 7-2810G (AM & FM),
P-975A/B P977B (AM & FM) , GE Globestar 10 (AM & SW) from the
1960s and 1970s.

made in GERMANY, not Asia......
Are you certain about that? I don't think Grundig has manufactured any radios in
Germany for some time now.
The FR200 may be badged Grundig, but it is indeed made by Eton in Asia.
