Review on Eton Grundig G2 Black NG2B AM/FM/Shortwave Radio with Recorder by Harry Katab

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Portable Radio: Shortwave Radios

I am not very happy with this radio. FM reception is good but the AM band is weak. Also, the sound is just honest. It has many functions, but the radio's instructions are very vague and difficult to understand. I have to admit that it picks up FM stations quite well, but as I said, the AM band is poor and has a lot of interference. I had a radio before we moved here to Mesquite, and the poor AM performance and interference here is the same as in the Chicago suburbs, so it's a radio, not an AM signal. Also, the battery drains fairly quickly and needs to be recharged; Luckily it charges easily with the charger I had to buy. Glad I made a really great purchase from Revain. In general, even at a low price, I got it because it was a waste of money. Considering it's Grundig, I was surprised by the poor performance. I didn't bother trying the SW even though I've had it for quite some time.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • No Form Required
