I have had, and still have, many portable radios. I am VERY pleased with
the G5, in all respects.

I plan on buying a portable shortwave receiver, and am only
considering models that I can purchase new. So far, the ones that have
caught my attention are the Kaito KA2100, Sony ICF-SW7600, Sangean ATS
909, Sangean ATS 505, and the Grundig G5.

I'd like to hear from people who own one or more of these sets.
Obviously, I'm not looking for a feature/spec comparison, as I can do
that on my own. What I want are opinions on build quality, ease of
use, real-life effectiveness, etc.

TIA.

A few of the reviewers at eHam
(http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6815) have reported
quality-control issues with the G5. One guy even says he got 3 bad
G5's in a row! Have you had any such experiences with your G5? (This
question also goes for the other Jeff who responded.)
