Digital camera reviews of Grundig M300BL Mini300PE Handheld Shortwave Radio (Metallic Blue)
Digital camera Review: Good in a pinch, but not much else
Summary: 3 Stars
The small analog Grundig M300BL has been described by radio experts as "Cheap and Cheerful" and I fully agree (given that it is available in so many different colors). I call it the AM/FM/SW radio for the masses which is still good if it gets new people interested in this great hobby! Its tuning dial is way way too hard to carefully adjust even with a digital frequency counter readout. Only a very small amount of turning of the dial corresponds on this unit to a great change in the tuned frequency. The tuner dial setting is also easily lost either due to signal fading which is common especially as the temperature changes or when it is inadvertently bumped. Volume levels are great with the small speaker or using earphones as is its battery life, but quality reception is lacking. I quickly returned it. For only a very few dollars more (and at some sites it is even the same price), the KA11 by Kaito is far superior in my opinion since it is an extremely small, but a fully PLL synthesized, digital tuned am/fm/sw receiver, has 1000 presets that can even be loaded automatically, comes with a charger/adapter and gets much better reception without any signal fading. Both units can very easily just be thrown in a bag and taken camping, fishing, etc. or kept around in case of an emergency situation.Digital camera Review: Good little receiver
Summary: 4 Stars
I have several shortwave radios, but this has become the one I use the most because of it's small size, generally good performance and ease of use. To be sure, there are better receivers out there that cost more, but for $30 this little gem offers a lot of value for the money. Sensitivity and selectivity are good, audio quality is better than what you'd expect from its tiny speaker and the digital display makes it easy to find radio stations. All in all it's a neat little package.Digital camera Review: Great Grundig
Summary: 5 Stars
This little radio lives up to its hype. Great Grundig quality in a compact and affordable package...with an alarm clock built-in. This has quickly found a permanent spot in my travel bag. Great value.Digital camera Review: Great Radio for its small size
Summary: 4 Stars
I was really surprised, its small but gets very good reception.
My husband uses it in his old pickup truck.
