| 98 of 102 people found the following review helpful  Nice little radio, By VS (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: ETON Mini GM400 Super Compact AM/FM Shortwave Radio with Digital Display (Electronics) I just received my M400 and these are my first impressions. The radio is very slim and just a bit wider than previous Grundig models (100 and 300), which makes it a perfect pocket companion.Pros: - great SW reception (on par with Grundig G1000, for instance) - good AM reception/selectivity (strong stations don't bleed too much into the adjacent frequencies) - solid feel. non-slippery plastic body Cons: - some mirror images from powerful FM stations on SW (not a huge problem, though) - FM is quirky - without the extended antenna only the most powerful stations are heard, but if you extend antenna for just one inch, they overload the receiver so I couldn't listen to some of the weaker stations in my area (like 90.3 or 91.1). - touching the unit below the LCD panel changes the tuning by a couple of kHz, so I learned to hold it a little lower to prevent a station drift. Overall, not a bad buy for $30. UPDATE (after... Read more 57 of 60 people found the following review helpful  There's better out their! REVISED, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: ETON Mini GM400 Super Compact AM/FM Shortwave Radio with Digital Display (Electronics) ONE STAR RATING!!! I've used this radio for a while now. Please buy something else. It drives me crazy. the drifting is getting worse and I have to retune the radio every 15 minutes or so. Buy the Sangean or a Kaito KA11. I did and now this radio is in a drawer. I will give it away at some point.I bought this to carry to baseball games and it sure fits in a pocket well. The little speaker does a nice job, talk radio is tolerable and a ball game sounds OK as long as you are in a quiet place while listening. It's not great but for this size radio it's very acceptable. FM reception seems very good, AM is spotty at best, and SW I don't know enough about to inform so I'm not saying a word. A bass boost would have been a great option as well as a lock for the tuning (more on that in a moment).Now that I have said the most positive things I can about this radios lets move on to it's shortcomings. The volume control is unguarded so when you drop this into...

AM reception for the 2012 edition is now "satisfactory"! FM still really good. LCD display is excellent! SW exception is good to excellent, but still difficult to tune. The "tuning drift" problem 'still annoying'. ----- FM: EXCELLENT, sensitive, stable, good stereo earphones. Note, I live in the boonies, do not have issues with overload. AM: See above Sept 2012 update. SW: GOOD sensitivity. DIFFICULT to tune in the higher frequency band (19m and 16m). You will miss (skip) many stations when manually scanning this band. OTHER: Build-Quality is EXCELLENT. The accessories are nice and good quality. The radio is too wide for my palm. This destroys its "thin-ness" appeal. Speaker output is "high-pitched", this elevates unnecessarily static and noise on both AM and SW. NOTES, two weeks after the first purchase and a trip to Europe: I... Read more |
