Product DescriptionThe S350 is one of the best-performing radios. The rugged body, military-style controls, and precise tuning mean this radio is as well-suited to an African safari as it is to a weekend camping trip. You get excellent AM, FM, and shortwave reception, thanks to the external antenna. And Eton didn't skimp on sound - you get a large, full-range speaker designed for your listening pleasure.
What Others Say
Worthless piece of junk
AM stations that are clear and clean on my car radio do not come in at all. Even strong FM signals are tinged with static at all times. I have nothing to compare it to for SW. My $50 boom box is a better radio and plays disks too.
grundig 350 dl
The grundig 350 is a very impressive radio. Reception is great on all frequencies, and really great on shortwave with just a basic straight wire antenna of aboubt 65 ft.
I would recommend this radio highly to anyone who enjoy's excellent radio reception with ease of use.
Great Basic Table Radio Is Tops for AM/FM Reception
If you're looking for a basic table radio without presets and digital tuning, you would do well to consider the Grundig S350 Deluxe, which I have owned and used for the last 3 years. The S350 will get you best FM performance possible. AM is great also. The speaker is loud and fills a room easily.
The antenna is very long. Make sure you have room to extend the antenna so it doesn't bend by jamming against a wall or a ceiling.
The tendency to drift in the old model of the S350 has been fixed with the new Deluxe model.
You will also like the fact that though the radio is analog, you can see the digital read-out, so you always know what station you're on.
Another outstanding feature is fine-tuning ... Read More
Fair or excellent depending on usage.
This is one of my keeper radios for a couple of reasons. #1, it's the most sensitive radio I've owned on MW. If you like to do some AM DX'ing, this radio is excellent. It's just as good as the "GE Super-Radio". I'm in the NY area, and can pick up AM stations all over the US and Canada. #2, the audio quality is excellent. Battery life is also excellent. As shortwave radio, it has its shortcomings. By design, the radio has an analog tuner with a digital display. This causes the radio to drift, as most analog radios do. Many people think because it has a digital frequency display, that it's a digital tuner. Not so. If drift is going to annoy you, then look elsewhere.
Better than expected
This radio is better than I expected when I bought it for $100.00. It has long battery life and allows you to choose AA or D size batteries with the ease of a selector switch. The radio has a 90 minute timer which is useful, but if you want it to stay on indefinitely, the power button needs to be held down for 3 seconds. The only downfall is that the radio tuning control does have a tendency to move, which forces the listener to keep adjusting the radio every so often.
