What Others Say
The G6 is just what I was looking for!
What a pleasant surprise is this "little" radio. I found the Grundig G6 when I was looking for a small radio that that would provide quality reception and could pack easily and go along on trips. When I first saw the G6, I was skeptical that it could receive much, but I decided I would take it home and give it a try. The store manager where I purchased it said I could return it up to thirty days after purchase if I was not satisfied.
At home I have been using the larger pricier Eton E1 and Sony ICF-SW55 radios for much of my shortwave listening. Both of these radios have many customizable features. Both are very sensitive and selective providing clear reception of a multitude of worldband programs.
Bad luck?
The one I got is defective and I have to return. The Shortwave does not work at all and it can not save any FM frequency.
O.K., BUT
I really enjoy my little radio. It is indeed high quality: sound, construction and looks. I fully agree with the other reviewers although I would not have given it a one out of five. That was too harsh but on target with the words.
If the manufacturer wants to sell an aircraft and SW radio and does NOT include the antenna in the price, you must question the manufacturer's integrity. I know the antennae are in the $25 price range but is it reasonable to sell an AM/FM radio for $99 and subsequent to the sale tell you that you will need to buy another accessory?
Please keep in mind that I like my radio and previous and subsequent comments are intended for my actual feelings about the product.

Non-functional AIR band makes this a disappointing purchase!
For $100, I didn't expect much from this radio and figured it would simply be an experiment at purchasing a Chinese-made product that appeared to have some decent design/operating qualities. When I received it, I was initially impressed but was quickly irritated regardless of any good qualities it may exhibit.
The good: Tiny and ultra portable. Carrying case, AC adapter, carrying strap included for an ultra-low $100. Plenty of information on the dial including signal and battery strength, frequency, time, band, and other settings. Quite complete in terms of useful information. Several tuning options including the two-speed slewing dial. Radio lock, light, antenna jack, stereo, etc. There's a lot here in a little package. ... Read More
Grundig Radio G6 Aviator an all-purpose radio in a small package
Though I found the instructions reasonably clear the actual operation of the radio can seem somewhat complex, a problem familiarity will remedy. Also, due to its compact size I found its speaker to be a bit small but capable of excellent sound reproduction non-the-less. Other than those small difficulties I have found the radio itself to be everything I had wanted in this portable a package including AM,FM,SW and aircraft bands along with 99 available programmable station settings and 3 programmable alarms for travel or shared wake-up times. I am more than pleased with my purchase and appreciate the quality of construction and attention to detail.
