I was browsing in Radio Shack today, and I bought a black Grundig S 350 DL.
I've had a regular 350 for quite a while now, and have always loved it, so I

Last month I bought The small black Grundig Mini-300, and have had a barrel
of fun with it. ?The size and performance for 29 bucks ?made it a great
deal. ?The S350 DL was only 99 plus tax. ?I like the new steam of portables

up the old hobby. ?I love collecting radios as much as listening to them.

The S350 is poison - stay away from it:

Congratulations. I think you will find the S350DL will do exactly
what it is designed to ddo. Which is deliver excellent good audio for
broadcast stations on AM, shortwave and FM with the minimum number of
controls.

I think of the S350DL and S350 as a volks-radio along the lines of the
very popular Panasonic analog/digitals of th 1980's. None of them
were designed to be DX machines but they will pull in a lot of
stations with the built-in antenna.
