Eton Grundig G5

I bought this radio to listen to SW and ham broadcasts. This little radio is very sensitive. More so than other radios like it. The attenuator is there for a reason, I had to learn to use it. I appreciate the fact that the fine tuning control is NOT...

I have yet to be able to get the alarm function operable and the instructions were written by an ESL who didn't understand the radio.

I have been listening to shortwave since the late fifties (19 that is), and the G5 is "the best bang for the buck".

Wow when I first got it and compared it to my Sangean ATS 909 , and my old Sangean 803A this radio is by far more sensative RX and usually I can pull in far more clearer with this small radio than most of the other PORTABLE radios I have used I would...
