No comparison. *It's fair to say that the G5 is BASED on the 1103, but they
are completely different in ergonomics, fit and finish, and sound quality.
I agree that the E5/G5 is a very nice little radio. *I wouldn't have an
1103.

Went out on a limb here recently for a new, decently priced portable and
came home with a Grundig G5 (Eton E5 clone). So far this little radio has
been oustanding. Shortwave reception has been extremely good as well as
SSB.
AM broadcasts are average and FM quality is excellent. Adding the Kaito
K-33
active antenna dramatically increased AM reception and help to boost and
fine tune SW and SSB reception. It is well worth the money and I have had
lots of fun with little radio. I use it almost daily since it's small
size
enables me to utilize it anywhere (especially on camping trips). If you
are
in the market for an economical portable give the G5 or the E5 a look,
both
great values for the price in my opinion. Thanks brisco..

You could have ordered the Degen 1103 - basically, the same radio for
$65, including S&H !- Hide quoted text -

And, I wouldn't spend an extra $95 on just improved ergonomics -
Grundig/Tecsun/Eton are over-priced junk.
