Hey Guys,

Was just browsing the online stores and noticed this little beauty.
Currently on sale at only $250 on one site and looking at the features
it looks like quite a bargain. Now, I have been told from a guy at my
local electronics outlet that this particular Sangean unit works
beautifully with external antennas. Furthermore, as well as having a
significant number of memory pages, the unit also possesses tremendous
medium-wave performance, which is something that IS very high on my
'must have' list. Considering this unit has much better coverage than
the Kaitos, I think for a beginner such as myself, it is going to give
me fewer problems in terms of getting used to it, with another
advantage being the supplied longwire which is FREE with the unit.

So after much consideration, I have whittled the choice down to 2 -
those being this Sangean or the beautiful looking Grundig G6 Aviator
(Special Buzz Aldrin Edition). Is gonna be A very tough choice to
settle on just the one!

Kind regards,
Brian Anasta

BA,

Save a $100 and check-out the Grundig G3 "Globe
Traveler" LW/AM/FM/SW Radio with AM Sync
http://www.universal-radio.com/CATAL...able/4033.html

Initial reviews of this set are _not_ encouraging; especially the
performance of the synchronous detector.

Actually, if I wanted something small for MWDX right now I'd go for the
Tecsun PL-300wt/Grundig G8 ... or, even newer, the Kchibo D96L which has
multiple selectable synthesized IF bandwidths in a $50 radio. The
performance of both of these portables on FM is even better; bordering on
the extraordinary.
