Grundig/Eton FR250 questions....
 

I've had the Grundig FR200 now for some time, nice little radio although
plagued by birdies (images) and a supercritical tuning rate only a surgeon
could effect to tune in shortwave stations. So I'm a bit interested in the
FR250...since the shortwave bands are divided now from 2 bands to several
more the selectivity should be a bit better. Grundig/Eton told me the
sensitivity is the same. So, if you've got one and used it how does it
perform? Mind you, I've no need for a super DX machine, I'm a ham op with
genuine supersensitive receivers, a 65 foot tower, and a large array of
antennas. The FR250 will serve as merely a nightstand radio to twiddle with
prior to sleep. But I'd like to know how others rate it within these
paramaters. Thanks in advance
