[Scan-DC] grundig g3

[Doug Kitchener]

Hey gang,

Long story short, I'd like to get a small battery powered AM/FM radio, maybe with shortwave too... I looked back through old scan-dc emails and two years ago we had a lot of discussion about the Grundig G3, which The Shack had on sale at the time for $90... 

Their website doesn't have much to say about it - like how big it is, what's the battery power (9-volt, AAs, or what?), does it come with an AC adapter, etc...  I did a little looking just now, it got good reviews on RS, but does anyone here have one, how do you like it, what's the answer to the questions above, and above all, what's the tie-in with this Eton outfit - I guess they are the same radio...

Also, is it tuned by inputting from the keypad?  Looks to be so...

Will continue to dig on the internet, but any info from users / owners, or advice / suggestions on something else is also appreciated... and if you see it on sale, holler!  :)

Thanks!

Doug
