Default Grundig G3 Versus Grundig G5 ?

Thank you,
Mike M.

I have a G5 that I got on sale. As a receiver, it is fine, but I
would not describe its operation in its various modes as intuitive: I
always have to refer to the manual to get it back to the way I want
it. I bought it to be a travel radio, and it does this poorly. There
is no master power switch (like on my various Sony 7600s), so the
radio can get switched on accidentally while it is packed away. And
the roatry tuning knob is not very securely attached, so mine has
fallen off several times while packed amongst my clothes. I suppose
the G3 would have similar operational features.
