Editorial Review:
This has been Factory-Refurbished to perform as if it were new. It is sold with a Grundig 1 Year Warranty.
In the film "White Heat", the main character screams, "Look Ma, I'm on top of the world" before he explodes to death. You really don't have to go to such extremes if you've got the Eton Grundig G1000A AM/FM and Shortwave Radio. With Shortwave radio bands, you can stay on top of music, news, and gossip from many countries. It's like traveling thousands of miles and listening to local stations from your native countries. Except all you need is the Grundig G1000A to be on top of your world, while staying where you are.
Listen to the sounds of the world. Wherever you are, you'll never be out of touch when the GRUNDIG G1000A is your traveling companion. Compact yet powerful, the G1000A pulls in 8 bands of shortwave signals as well as AM and FM broadcasts. Features include backlit digital LCD display, radio alarm, sleep function and stereo headphone jack. It comes with a soft, protective carrying case. Built-in monaural speaker Stereo earphone jack for listening to FM Stereo 2 AA battery operation (batteries are not included) Optional AC adapter available 360-degree telescopic antenna Bands and Frequency Ranges - AM Broadcast 530-1721 kHz SW 25 meters 11.600-12.200 MHz FM Broadcast 88.00-108.00 MHz SW 22 meters 13.570-13.870 MHz SW 49 meters 5.950-6.200 MHz SW 19 meters 15.100-15.800 MHz SW 41 meters 7.100-7.600 MHz SW 16 meters 17.480-17.900 MHz SW 31 meters 9.200-9.900 MHz SW 13 meters 21.450-21.850 MHz Size - 4 1/2 W x 3 H x 1 1/8 D Weighs about 7 ounces
At night when I do most of my listening I need a good, selective AM radio to pull stations which can be drowned out by nearby transmitters on the same frequency. My old Grundig Traveler II still does this but is getting touchy and hard to tune...
Sadly this modern "Digital" Grundig didn't even come close to the older analogue radio in terms of sensitivity, selectivity or sound quality. As an urban AM/FM radio it is adequate but for long range reception no good.
Amazon's return policy then came to the rescue, I sent it back and upgraded to the Eton E5 - a much better receiver but no better than the old Traveler II in terms of sensitivity or selectivity... and burdened by an incredibly complicated and counter intuitive digital station memory and tuning system! Three steps forward and two steps backwards.
Thank you Amazon for a painless on line purchase service!

good value for the money
This radio is just what I was looking for. Small size with good reception. However. I thought Grundig was a German company. I turned it over and there it was. "Made In China". nuff said 2007-12-16
Grundig G1000A
I live about 60 miles from a large city with a dozen AM radio stations and as many FM ones.
At night when I do most of my listening I need a good, selective AM radio to pull stations which can be drowned out by nearby transmitters on the same frequency. My old Grundig Traveler II still does this but is getting touchy and hard to tune...

The best small portable radio on the market
After going through two Sony ICF-S10MK2 portables, I tried the Grundig G1000A. Both use two AA batteries, but there the similarities end. The Grundig pulls in more stations and has more powerful amplification. (Somewhat alarmingly, it picks up transmissions from small planes flying overhead.) It is well worth the extra cost. 2007-08-20
Grundig radio
Love the radio! The only problem was that the batteries shipped with it were dead. 2007-06-26
Now this radio is handy!
This is a small radio, but pulls in the stations that my $200 plus Sagean does. It's a "take it along with you" radio. Took it on a cruise recently and it worked great. Manual tuning is no big deal. It's a rugged radio. Don't ever let the size of shortwave radios fool you. And this one has an alarm clock which we used on the cruise. I highly recommend this product. 2007-05-15
