How good it is, is largely luck of the draw. The design is excellent,
however the manufacturing often isn't nearly as good.

Grundig has had an excellent name in radio for over 4 decades.

yea, from what i understand when this unit first came out, there was
alot of manufacturing problems, they started making a "second"
generation to fix alot of the problems, soon after they started making
a "third generation". The third generation is pretty much perfect...
Ill be getting a 3rd generation..

How does one make certain they're getting a "third generation? set. I'd
appreciate any help on this...i.e. if I buy one from Universal Radio, will
that be a 3rd generation???

You can be assurred that if you buy it from Universal it will be 3rd
generation. They will be happy to confirm that by e-mail or phone, as they did
for me.

They are very helpful and have a good rep for customer service.

Had one since Feb 02 and had nary a problem with it. Mine is built
well (built in late '01) and with my external antenna, I get stations
at room volume (great sound!) as if they were locals.

Good luck in your search, you will really appreciate the
"non-portable" sound, enjoy the big LCD and the non-muting tuning
knob.

Regards.

I can agree with previous post. If you get a good one they are
fantastic. A good overall receiver for the money
