After hearing so much good about the 100PE,
I was pleased to see it on sale at J&R. ( $19.95 +s&h )
( thanks to whoever posted it here )

It arrived today, and I ran it through its paces.
Quite frankly, I'm dissapointed !

Unless I got a defective unit;
MWB reception is "****-poor"
Audio Volume is "so-so"
Lots of "spatter" in the FM band.
Fair SW reception.

I did a station-by-station comparison
with my cheapo Bell&Howell radio,
and the $12 B&H got reception
where the Grundig got nothing.

I have had both radios, and of the two I prefer the 100-PE.
But neither is close to a digital.

I have both and all the B&H picks up is the 50000 watt blowtorch down the
street. It picks it up across the band. All bands except FM. It is one
P.O.S. I am very pleased with the mini-100. I guess it goes to show that
on a sample to sample basis, Chinese radios are extremely "variable" to say
the least
