Does the Grundig 750 come with an AC/DC adapter? Would I need to buy additional accessories for this S/W radio for better reception?

Yes, it comes with the AC/DC adapter. An external antenna is recommended for SW but reception is good with the built-in one.

Should have the adapter, you'll need to buy batteries, though...and it has several options for external antenna although the built in antenna works well. The rotating AM antenna really helps you zero in on long-distance AM

Works great! right out of the box. Comes with wall plug-in,also runs on "D" size batteries. As far as an ac/dc adapter I just use a simple inverter if I need to plug in to a 12volt car battery.

It does come with the adapter for the USA. Shortwave reception is always better with a better antenna but I live in western PA and can pickup with the built in antenna. I pickup better with my Wellbrook loop antenna.

Yes to the first question, although I would recommend using it with batteries when listening to SW, as connecting your unit to the wall socket can be noisy. You will likely want to get an external antenna of some sort for better SW reception. But this can be as simple/cheap or as elaborate/complex as you want with this unit.

It comes with everything you need to get on the air listening to stations and HAMS from around the world. You may want to consider a longwire or dipole antenna for better shortwave reception. It has provisions for hooking up a longwire or a 50OHM BNC adapter for better shortwave reception. A very good radio!

I ordered two, and they both had an AC/DC adapter. I was pleasantly surprised because they didn't list it in the description.

Yes, and Adapters are cheap (75 Ohm) and can be had at Radio Shak. In fact the antenna may come with one, can't remember.

This radio was not designed with a AC or DC adaptor. But in order to accomplish this change over you would have to d take a 12V battery pack and remove the batteries or disable the pack and connect your Positive & Negative up to the pack. Use a volt meter to test and locate the positive terminal on the battery if it is not already identified. Most of all check the voltage output of your DC supplier first to make sure that the voltage and the amps are constantly within the original radios spec. if not, DON'T MAKE THE CONNECTION!!!!!!! You might destroy a good radio.

The Insignia HD tabletop radio is both AC & DC (4 AA batteries). It comes with an AC adapter. Keep in mind if you plan to use this radio as a portable device, it only receives FM stations. However, you can use an MP3 device with it. TMM Dayton, OH

When I bought mine it did come with an adaptor. I am very happy with this radio. Strongly recommended.

Hi, Your Grundig S450DLX uses "F" Type connectors so you will need an F Male to a 3.5mm Female adapter. It may take some looking to find one. I recommend trying to find a short flexible pigtail type as to not put stress on the radio connector. If you are handy & can solder you can make your own. Though not optimal it does also come with an adapter that clips onto the radios mast. If you have trouble finding or making an adapter & want to use this ANT-60 only for this radio you could modify the adapter that it comes with by just cutting off the clip part(leave some wire on it in case you ever want to restore it) & adding an F connector to the wire. Just solder the wire to the center pin. Nice radio, Have fun! Hi, Your Grundig S450DLX uses "F" Type connectors so you will need an F Male to a 3.5mm Female adapter.

Yes, the adapter is not included but there is a place for one. The instructions say; ac adapter c52cb73020.

Greetings,Yes, a 12V 60W AC-DC Adapter is included with the unit.Best regards,MITXPC

Correcting my message, the AC Adapter is OPTIONAL. I just found where I bought it with the Radio.

Yes this radio has both an AC Power adapter and can also run using 4 "C" batteries.
682334
Yes. On the back, on the left-hand side, you can hook-up an external antenna. In fact, one comes included. I wanted one that would give me better reception, so I bought one at Radio Shack for about $13.

No, it needs a constant 12 volt dc input and is configured for the wingard antenna only. There are other systems on the market to do what you are trying.

The supplied coaxial is bare wire but you can use any double-ended 1/8" cord (like the AUX connector for your iPad in your car) to connect it to your radio's external antenna input. If your portable does not have an option to recieve MW from the external, antennas like this work great passively (set near your radio). You are going to be turning it and angling it alot anyway since MW ferrite loops are directional. So don't let the lack of connections scare you off. I use mine passively even though my Grundig 750 has an input jack and get better results that way.

As the others have said, no it does not come with the antenna adapter and it's not a common radio shack part - I bought mine at GetMyElectronics - I see several bought them on Amazon - you might as well buy a power supply while you're at it, unless you plan to use it exclusively on batter power -

does not come with a dc power supply. however all it is is a mini (not micro) usb connection. does not come with antenna, that antenna looking thing is just a window mount for a magnetic antenna.

You would need to check the rating on the adapter itself, or see if it is mentioned in the description. Personally, I would buy a Sangean radio, as all newer Grundig/Eton radios are pure junk.
