Review on πŸ“» Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio: Limited Edition Discontinued by Manufacturer - Hard to Find Deal! by Sam Doucette

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price but I'm disappointed

Works great as an emergency radio. The "crank oscillator" is relatively easy to use, the body and controls are solid, and the sound quality is very good. It's not the flimsy plastic emergency radio I've seen elsewhere. However, I was looking for a radio with excellent AM reception. Grundig's reputation and reviews of other similar radios from the same manufacturer (it's not Grundig) made me think this unit would suit my needs. Unfortunately, the AM reception isn't any better than my cheap Walkman cassette/radio combo. The frequency attenuation is average. There is also no socket for connecting an external antenna. Didn't meet my needs but it's good value for it's purpose.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
