Jay:
I haven't used the Grundig Mini but I have used the other two. If
small size is important, eg. you want to carry it in a shirt pocket,
then the DX 342 is not a bad radio. I have had one for more than 10
years and use it from time to time. The band selector slider is
getting quite loose.
I liked the DX 351 better but unfortunately it was destroyed when
a large heavy book landed on it. If prices are the same then I would
go for the DX 351.
By the way, these radios have been out of the catelog for many
years now. Your RS store must be well off the beaten path.
Regards
Bob

Hello all

It has boiled down to one of these 3 radios. The local Radio Shack
carries each of them. I have read many a good thing about the Grundig
Miniworld, but info is hard to find on the two Realistic models.
I my budget is tight, and it looks like analogue is the most
affordable, and compact is what I am leaning towards.
Does anybody have any thoughtsor comparisons?

Thanks, Jay
