I'd like try a G6 when the price for this 2AA radio becomes right.<BR/><BR/> But although the G3 has made some improvements it isn't enough to get me to try and trade up. And the longwave and "aircraft" bands do nothing for me. <BR/> I would much rather see 2 and 6 meter amatuer bands additons, as the new CCrane is apparently doing to replace its antiquated TV band. Now that would get me interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762514.post-66888166569106685232009-03-05T13:25:00.000-08:002009-03-05T13:25:00.000-08:00For the record, Grundig/Eton does not give me free...For the record, Grundig/Eton does not give me free or even discounted products.weatherallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02060409107575801741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762514.post-64781270948753085852009-03-05T12:38:00.000-08:002009-03-05T12:38:00.000-08:00i take it youre getting a complementary g3 and tha...i take it youre getting a complementary g3 and thats why you deleted my comments?<BR/><BR/>at least C Crane understands the importance of a nice big speaker and beefy AM ferrite, and relies on timeless quality rather than gimmicks<BR/><BR/>GrunigEton on the other hand is content sticking PL-600 in a big hunk of ugly plastic and multiply the price by 6.
