The ferrite antenna in the S-350 is almost the length of the radio.
Something like 7 1/2 inches. It is a lot of radio for the price. My ONLY
complaint is that it drifts somewhat off frequency. It can be minimized by
always making your last movement in the counter clockwise direction...

I haven't had the opportunity to use a Grundig 350, but I do have a
Grundig
FR-200 (that's the one with the wind-up dynamo on the side). Given the
size
of the Grundig 350, I'd bet the MW ferrite antenna is very similar to the
one in the FR-200.

That little Grundig does a great job on MW, but the edge goes easily to
the
CCRadio Plus. The build of my FR-200 is rather cheap, but then it's only
a
$40 radio. The biggest negative I have with the Grundig is that the
volume
control is noisy -- turn it up or down when you're wearing headphones and
you're treated to fairly irritating pot noise. That's really a shame, too
because the tuning knob (knob-in-knob design with coarse and fine
adjustment) is one of the best I've used on an analog radio. It has
sufficient range to allow you to get even weak stations dead center on
crowded spots on the dial.

I was looking at one of these at restoration hardware and noticed that
the main tuning knob is very cheap, flimsy. The rest of the radio
seemed solid. Has anybody had any problems with the build quality.
Also, is the radio's reception better on MW then the ccrane radio.
