Forget the Analog Tunning and cost on the SR III or the LCD display and

compare. Thanks.

I would strongly suggest you check out the reviews for these radios on
eham.net and Amazon.com - the SRIII's switches fall off and the S350
has severe tuning backlash. I opened up the back of the S350, before
returning it to RS (it was not sealed) and I could not believe that
this mostly-hollow piece-of-**** was made by Grundig - but now,
Grundigs are made in China, not Germany. Consumer beware !

But they aren't made by Grundig.

"Grundig" is now a name rented out to companies that want to use
it. So those "Grundig" radios sold in North America are put out
by some other company, who pay for the rights to use the name.

Where the radios are made is fairly irrelevant, where it's designed
is far more important.
