Grundig Traveler II Digital G8 AM/FM/LW/Shortwave Radio A radio with old-school durability and new-world technology combined The Grundig Traveler II G8 combines the best of both worlds: reliability and hi-quality audio. With durable and portable, grip-coated encasing the G8 resists drops, dings and other damage. It also has all the modern features that create high-quality audio. Auto Tuning Storage makes radio surfing easy The G8 comes with an Auto Tuning Storage (ATS) function which automatically stores radio frequencies. The ATS button lets you memorize all frequencies of the AM, LW and FM band with good enough signal strength to be memorized. There are 100 memories, which are used for manual and ATS storage. Tell the time anywhere in the world! The G8 features an international clock that you can set at the touch of a knob located on the front of the radio. It has domestic and international time zones preset so you can just turn the knob and instantly have the time anywhere in the world. Manually enter preset frequencies for added versatility The radio can memorize 100 FM, 100 AM, 100 LW and 200 SW (shortwave) frequencies. To memorize a frequency, tune your radio to the frequency of your choice, and then follow the below instructions: Press the MEMORY button once and notice the PRESET number flashing in the upper, right corner of the display. While it's flashing, press MEMORY again to store it into the PRESET that's flashing or wait for 2 second to store it automatically. If you want to store it into another PRESET just rotate the tuning knob of your choice, and press the MEMORY button to confirm. Frequencies that you have stored manually will be overwritten. If you've stored frequencies with the ATS button and want to keep them in memory, be sure to store manually into an empty memory. To listen to your stored frequencies, go to the band that you want to listen to: Press the VF/VM (view frequency/view memory) button and notice that a PRESET number appears in the upper right of the display. Then rotate the TUNING knob to go to the PRESET of your choice. To exit the memory system, press VF/VM again.

Great little radio for the price of Gregory Roscow I wanted a small shortwave radio to charge enough and not too expensive - somewhere between toys and $ 100 + $ 20 children seriously. Well, that's it. It's not perfect, but it's pretty powerful, it has useful features, it's fun to use, looks and feels good (with a matt black soft rubber), and comes with a practical bag and earphones. Exactly what I wanted. The display is excellent, with an orange backlit screen that's the best I've ever seen in any radio of this size. Clicking the lights for a few seconds and another guard, who recently running at a frequency shift. The information on the display panel may include: frequency, battery strength, signal strength (in dB and dBmicron S / N), time, alarm, temperature, short wave band, memory, and timer (!). FM, SW and AM / LW everything sounds good to me and is reasonably sensitive FM attracts many stations, including the one I wanted most: KING-FM 98.1 in Seattle, where the more expensive Grundig Aviator A6 could not get from where I live on Vancouver Island. Ditto KOMO 1000 AM. SW reception is also good. Automatic search captures only the strongest, but the manual search can score more. I've heard that Australia, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Tokyo, Beijing, Moscow, Zagreb, etc. in the short time I've had. It all depends on the time and the atmosphere. 6.30 for the 31m band is filled with stations. And there is continuous coverage from 3150 to 21,950 kHz, not just the choices are many shortwave radios. There was only one setting to filter out the religious stations that are so loud and clear. Scanning is the thumb wheel 1 or 5 kHz steps, or by tape or by automatic scanning in steps of 5 kHz. Both the mood and set the volume properties of the block. A particularly nice touch is that radio is the last station you listen to each band was another nice touch is the radio silence during the automatic scanning recalls. A lot of thought went into the friendliness of a small laptop. Short and long keystrokes for different functions can be annoying, but this radio, they are useful and intuitive. Hidden behind a front panel has buttons for setting presets, clock and alarm, with a recessed Reset button on your radio. There is also a big wheel to set the radio to one of the world's time zones, as is apparently the radio his name. It looks impressive, like the world map in the panel, but if you are constantly changing time zones, it is really just a marketing ruff. I had a keyboard for direct recording in this field have preferred instead. The only sore point is the weak hand that covers the basics but have no technical information on radio or help more advanced (and how to explain dBmicron dB S / N) should not have to Google things like this. Some parts of the manual is poorly explained, or simply wrong, like saying you have to tune the radio or a function when it means the opposite. I noticed the same with other Grundig / Eton manuals, also on their "serious" as the radio S350DL. Actually put to a major effort here. In spite of the bad advice, this is a very capable laptop that is easy to use and sounds good. A larger speaker would help, and there are no tone controls, although none of these sound quality greatly impaired the strongest stations. With these small reservations, serve this station 4.5 stars from me, but since you can not, I am happy to give him the fifth 99 of 102 people found this review helpful. Big FM Portable AM ​​/ FM / LW / SW receiver with the fair and equitable capacity sw h (New rating of 35 stars), Ann E. Revelle, the criticism I've seen the end of the new unit Grundig G-8 analog (another clone Tecsun) and took the opportunity to try it. This is really a.
