The 350 has better selectivity, to take out a strong station nearby in
frequency.

I'd not use either one for DX, rather using a MW loop with another
radio, like the 7600G, to get the daytime distance.

The GE seems more trouble free; the 350 has SW bands and tells you what
frequency you're tuned to. I dunno, either radio leaves you room to
move up. I think the GE is cheaper, which maybe would be a big
factor in satisfaction ; and more volume available. The 350
is marginal outdoors volumewise.

I suggest a MW loop as a first purchase and use it with whatever radio
you have already. (MW loop helps more the less sensitive your radio ;
almost not mattering with either of these radios, though helping a
little. Only matters in the daytime; at night, signals are strong
enough to hear already. Thousands of them.)

And at night, other issues come into play, like being able to receive
weak signals adjacent to stronger signals, and of course, fading.

People have mentioned in the past, I think rightfully, that not
enough people tune up and down the band with any old radio. So
they assume they need something good to receive distant stations,
and they go out and buy something (often the GE Superradio) before
getting a handle on what it's like with whatever radios they have
at home.
