These Are Not Your Ordinary Radios
Whether on a camping trip or just relaxing at home, it is a necessity to have a reliable radio.
Eton makes available a full line of radios for just about every need. I had the opportunity to test two of their units.
The Grundig S350DL is a high-performance field radio. It is packaged in a durable body sporting military-style analog tuner controls, a digital display, and large speakers with rotary volume, bass and treble controls.
This model offers AM (530-1710 KHZ), FM (88-108 MHZ), 13 international bands of Shortwave (SW), a built-in antenna with an additional input available for an external AM/FM/SW antenna. The unit operates on an AC adapter (included) or 4 D or AA batteries (not included). It also features a clock, alarm, and sleep timer.
Eton just introduced its Grundig G4 World Recorder AM/FM/Shortwave With MP3 and SD Player. This is a versatile portable radio that features LW, AM, FM and Shortwave (3000-29999 KHZ) and digital tuning and display with 1000 programmable memory presets capability. The digital tuning methods include: auto-scan, manual-scan, direct key-in and manual tuning. On the side of the unit one can use the sensitivity switch for better sound.
What I really like about the G4 is its compact size and the addition of the SD player / recorder feature that one can record from the radio or microphone onto its built-in flash memory or external SD/MMC card. With the alarm you can wake up to an alarm, your favorite radio station or music from your SD/MMC card . The unit supports MP3/WMA decoder / MPEG 1/2/2.5. Another great feature is the display light located on the upper part of the screen making the digital display easier to read in low light situations.
The G4 is powered by an AC adapter (included) or 3 AA batteries. www.etoncorp.com
