Ok for all those reviewing and saying this bad, this does not work right.. Please tell me which Portable Radio you would recommend
1272305
Depends on what you're looking for. This is a great little radio and I happen to like it a lot. I am an FM Dxer and this radio can receive stations up to 100 miles away on FM or more regularly. As far as shortwave radios go, there are better ones on the market. If you are willing to shell out the cash for Sangean 909x. That is the best shortwave radio out there. I would consider sticking with Grundig, Tecsun, Sangean. They are the best brands for this.

You ever noticed that in all have opinions for and against. The G3 portable radio receiver fulfills its task of being a quality equipment with Gruding brand. Particularly I think a great radio to listen to shortwave, AM, FM, SSB and aircraft band. In aircraft band there are certainly some interference of commercial FM stations, easily solved leaving only two or three antenna stages stretched.

I've noted that I recommend this radio completely. I consider it excellent.

I wouldn't listen to all the naysayers. I have a Tecsun PL 660, and yeah it's good, but I also want one of these. And I've heard good things about them too. One feature I like is the light stays on while plugged in (while the Tecsun doesn't).

It's a horrible mp3 player. My recommendation is to get rid of it and just purchase a different brand mp3 player that works correctly. That's what I did with mine.

My honest opinion would be to buy a different radio. This one is junky. I bought the planet audio double din deck and that one is alot better than this one. Picture quality sucks. And this deck is not a double din. Its a single din. With a giant plate behind the screen that does come off. Scale of 1-10 I give it a 4.

Rob.. Send it back for replacement. These radios have a few manufacturing issues but once you get a good one there are no issues. The volume on mine is strong and loud.. It's not to be compared with a boom box volume but plenty loud for a single speaker radio as it should be. Only other issue that they all suffer from is that the smaller controls have a slightly loose feel. For the price the 450 is a much better radio than the newer Field branded radio from Eton. But really...send yours back and get a replacement

This radio is not a radio i would recommend to anyone. Real issues with the volume fading in and out. The gps satellite radio. All have to be competabl which is hard to find

Yeah but the bluetooth reception is terrible. I'd shop around for something better or make sure you can return it if it doesn't work well.

Sorry to hijack your question but read all of the negative reviews and take them to heart. This radio is a disappointment, has glitches, and is unreliable. It also eats batteries.

I returned it I don't know if it was broken or not. It was not s portable xm radio like I thought it had to be plugged into the base station for xm the portable operation only played what was recorded to memory. I don't know if that's the way it works or was just defective I returned it

You don't have one good radio source in you town? Its better to use an FM station that has a Lil static the sound quality will come out really good.

You got to be smarter than your equipment your using.. Just kidding I have the same problem trying to get the FM radio to work on it, Bad design but cheap price so you got to expect that. I would reccomend buying a IPOD lol

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

The only thing I can tell you about this is that it is a very difficult radio to work with. It isn't an easy one to use. I have had to ask several people how to work with it and they all agree that it isn't one to get for a beginner or your first time use. I also recommend to get the software and cord that comes with the software for this radio. that helps with some of the problems I was having. I hope you understand what I am trying to tell you.

It doesn't work! We haven't been able to hear anything because the batteries caused some type of overheating the radio does not work. To send it back would cost me more money than the whole thing is worth. My suggestion: Leave it be and look for something else, it ain't worth it.
