Grundig AM/FM/SW Radios - Fun With Shortwave
By James Grahame
The trouble with traditional AM and FM broadcasts is that they have limited and unpredictable range. Shortwave broadcasts offer a chance to listen in on hundreds of radio stations from around the world. Believe it or not, decent Shortwave radios are surprisingly affordable.
Grundig manufactures a range of digitally tuned receivers that can be yours starting at under $50. The model shown here is the $150 Grundig G4000A (marketed in North America by etón). It offers FM-Stereo; AM; and Full-Shortwave (1711-29999 KHz) reception. Forty programmable presets let you store your favorites. Other features include dual alarms, external antenna socket, headphone jack, and a carrying case. It weighs under 600g (1lb. 5oz.) and runs on 6 AA batteries.
