Default Grundig "Design by Porsche" No sensitivity on Reception ?????

I have a Grundig SW receiver "Design by Porschie" that I purchased
new. The SW reception has always been Expremely Poor- no sensitivity-
even when the Propagation level is Superior.
If anyone has knowlege of this Grundig SW set, I would appreciate
your experience. Is it possible that the set has been defective since
new ?
Thanks
Jay

I have owned a few Grundig radios, over the years the quality has
declined--they still sell they at the prices they do because they are
relying on their past reputation--a reputation which is no longer
deserved for the cheap plastic junk they are dumping on us at inflated
prices...

Warmest regards,
John

Perhaps your wording is a little stronger than most, but your observations seem
to be typical for this model.

Don't have personal experience with that model, but isn't it a rebadged
Degen or Tecsun model?
If so, sensitivity doesn't seem to be a problem with their radios.

A couple of questions:
What radio are you comparing it to.
Which bands are you listening to and when.

Most are rebadged Tecsuns. The Porsche model is a low end model that
peforms worse than the pocket size models.
