Russell,
One of the best places for reviews is at Radio Netherlands: http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/rx_index.html Once you narrow your field a bit, this newsgroup is a great resource. Just post a note saying which units you are considering, and you'll probably get replies from people that have one of each. As for the Grundig S-350, there is a very active newsgroup on Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundig-S-350/ A running commentary on that group now is that it may be that the Tecsun version of that radio is actually superior to the Grundig version, due to a revision that "preheats" portions of the tuner to keep it from drifting (as it warms up from being "off"). Grundig has e-mailed (to one of the group members) that they've made revisions in their latest production, but they haven't bothered to tell us exactly what these revisions were. -- Stinger "Russell" wrote in message ... Hi all, Just wondering if someone could give me a few web sites that have reviews of short wave radios, I have seen eham but do recall another one a while back that had pictures and rated them by stars 1-5 stars etc I am looking for a small radio maybe the grundig 400??? for travelling but would like it fairly compact I am also looking into the Grundig S350 for my home as it looks like a pretty intersting radio? Any web sites would be appreciated or feedback Thanks-Russ please reply to this address below |

This has a variety of reviews on the same radios. As oppposed to
RNW's seriously subjective rankings. http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/8 On Sun, 16 Nov 2003 09:32:53 -0800, Russell wrote: Hi all, Just wondering if someone could give me a few web sites that have reviews of short wave radios, I have seen eham but do recall another one a while back that had pictures and rated them by stars 1-5 stars etc I am looking for a small radio maybe the grundig 400??? for travelling but would like it fairly compact I am also looking into the Grundig S350 for my home as it looks like a pretty intersting radio?

Spend another $40 or so and get a decent SW portable. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |
