On the other hand it is much lighter than those were even with 8 total batteries installed.
GRUNDIG RADIO CLOCK PORTABLE
Kinda-sorta: With the case being plastic and not as sturdy as the big portable multiband radios of the Sixties and Seventies, it does not strike me as a rugged unit. Frequency coverage ends at 28Mhz so no 10M band. No problem area here!ĭownsides: As amateur radio operators we are used to dealing with quality tuning mechanisms. The carrying handle is thick and well put together. Since there is shortwave capability in this radio you just need to tune to WWV on whatever frequency is coming in and voila, you'll be ticking along. You can set the clock for 12 or 24 hour display. Compared to the many radios I have, this one is as good as any of them at AM and FM reception when trying to pick up weak signals. Living on the south coast of Oregon means it takes some wing-stretching to pick up the fringe area signals. Yes, it really is that good! You have bass and treble knobs to work with as well. That will pay dividends for a radio I intend to set aside with my emergency supplies.
How's that for battery backup in a battery powered radio? I have never seen such a deal before.
GRUNDIG RADIO CLOCK INSTALL
You can install 4 D-cells and 4 AA's, with a switch to pick between the two sets. When I went to put in the batteries I got a real pleasant surprise. This is a review for the Eton-badged 350DL but it is the same thing as the Grundig. Dual battery setup perfect for emergency prep!
