Default GE Superadio III vs. Grundig S350

Forget the Analog Tunning and cost on the SR III or the LCD display and
short wave on the Grundig, Simply put, Which of these radios performs
better on AM? Hopefully someone here has had both of these radios to
compare. Thanks.


Both radios have serious quality-control problems - they both are very
cheap construction, and from experience, the S350 is just total junk.
The S350 is analog tuned and still drifts despite a kludged lock
mechanism, cheap switches, plastic speaker grill, smelly imitation
leather handle, low-resolution display, and is no better a DX'er than
my better-quality Radio Shack $25 PLL AM/FM radio. All this talk about
"DX machines" is just hype. I'll never buy an analog-tuned radio again !
