i have seen in years.........um, err, its still the same mini 300 but
now it looks great! maybe i am so impressed because my first one was
yellow. bright shinning banana yellow. the new one is so fuzzy looking
that i am curious how it was finished. its almost like that vinyl
velour
material on top of some air mattresses. very odd indeed!

Those look cool, but I am skeptical of its abilities. What can you
pick up with it, without adding an external antenna?

You'd be amazed! These little pocket sized receivers do an excellent job!
I have 3 of them, and am hoping to pick up more!

I'm also thinking of picking one of these up. My RS only has the metal
ones (M300PE). I have a Mini 100, great radio but that analog dial on
it is tiny so this'll be a nice upgrade. I also own a Kaito 1103,
which I think I may sell before I have QC issues, and It's too big to
carry around anyway. 's why I like the grundig mini's, they're shirt
pocketable. I only wished the mini 300's had lighted displays but hey,
gotta keep the price down and lights really eat batteries anyway.
