Grundig G6 Buzz Aldrin Edition By Chris Compton G6 When I say I was a little shocked because I expected a larger package, but as the old expression "Size does not matter," and that goes for G6! Build quality was very good, the rubber coating, and "just right" weight for a good solid feel it. After a brief analysis of the instructions I have two AA alkaline G6 (you can also use Ni-MH batteries and they are G6 fee), but I was very excited and can not wait one minute, I wanted to play now! I'm sick of the G6 and the selected AM Broadcast Band MW, my favorite for weak, distant signals to pursue. Then I thought to myself, I have a "standard" to compare the G6. Being a avid collector of radio that I have a tough act to select "radio in my collection for the blue ribbon AM MW. I chose my Panasonic RF2900. Both radios were brand new alkaline batteries installed, since I did not want to do with the AC power line noise induced in the operating units from AC E 'in broad daylight, so I chose a station on 1360 kHz, KWDJ, 1000 watts a day in Ridgecrest, CA, about 100 miles from my location in Lancaster, California. At this distance the signal strength measured KWDJ was less than 100 micro-volts / meter (measured on the Potomac FIM 22 AM field strength meter) I put both radios at the same table and rotate the device so they are optimized loopsticks to receive guidance from Ridgecrest, CA. Also note that in Lancaster, a 1000-watt AM station on 1380 kHz his transmitter, less than 3 miles from my position, and in the same voice Ridgecrest! When I developed RF2900 in 1360 I heard Dr. Laura, fairly clear with a lot of background noise. I listened for about 2 minutes to ensure that the signal was stable, it was. Now that was "ShowTime" I turned on the G6, and using the jog wheel, listening to the G6 to 1360 .. and with half the volume .... I heard Dr. Laura, with about the same amount of noise that the RF2900! Needless to say I was impressed. I said OK, let's take a listen to the underside of the strip. As a humble 100-watt AM station on 540 kHz XSURF in Mexico, more than 100 miles. I turned on the radio in Mexico, listening to the RF2900 to 540, and there was the sound of 540 XSURF. Should I call the G6, the "Little Engine That Could," because when I set to 540 kHz, there was a noise XSURF with a little 'more of the RF2900, WOW! The G6 had no difficulty in accommodating the majority of all radio stations in Los Angeles AM signals, which ranged from 75-100 miles on a single signal of 50 000 watts. Ok, I was convinced that the G-6 had a great performance on MW AM, FM, but how? I returned to my collection of radio in search of a portable radio for comparison, an average better FM reception, my Eton E5 FM In a good test would pull KGZO, 90.9 in Shafter, CA Operation with only 1.9 kW of power, more than 100 miles away. This is a good test for the sensitivity and selectivity as my place in Lancaster, CA, is located within the outline of 1mV superpower KPFK 110,000 to 90.7 Watt. In the past, Eton E5 had no problem pulling the signal KGZO in stereo, with only a slight intrusion of KPFK. The Eton E5 repeat this task as expected. After adjusting the G6 to 90.9 and with a little game with the antenna rod is KGZO stereo with only a small amount of intrusion of KPFK, but still audible! The G6 had no problem pulling the signs of all the signs of FM in Los Angeles from Mount Wilson, finding 99% of FM in Los Angeles. On one thing ... Do not let the small speaker size fool you, this little child is a small place with a fairly good volume. On shortwave G6 is comparable selectivity and sensitivity to some of my shortwave rigs including my Eton.
