Great Rig			Time owned: 0 to 3 months
For the money it out does radios 3 times the price. I have the Sangean 909, 818, and for SW this puppy really pulls in the distance. Not to mention when you hook a ground wire up and a 30 foot copper wire antenna. I A-B it against the Sangean 909 for shortwave and its got more signal on the weaker stations. There were a couple I couldn't get with the sangean that I could with the Grundig. Yea there is some drift but once you get use to the rig you get better at finding the sweet spot. Its about retro also, being analog you have to expect some of the traits that come with analog. I really like this radio. It is strong in the AM DXing also. I haven't tried the CCrane but I would bet this would hold it's own on matching stations. I also have a Zenith Transoceanic from 1958 and the grundig S350 reminds me of that radio but with the digital readout. I can't put it down. If you like retro style and the old fine tuning knobs with analog you will like this radio. It has a lot of potential with the external antenna and ground hookups, plus the RCA stereo outs for FM. If you are looking for bells and whistles, presets and drift free tuning this might not be for you. Buy a Sangean 909 for 250.00 I have had this radio 1 week and I have over 20 hrs on it. Its a keeper.
