Grundig FR200 AM/FM/SW/DAB Radio

Pros: Great value, fantastic AM reception, very good FM reception, nicely constructed.

Cons: Shortwave stations "drift" slightly, requiring periodic re-tuning.

Cons: I should have had this radio years ago !

The Bottom Line: It will always work, no matter what the situation is and you will be glad you own it !

Review: The GRUNDIG FR200 is a versatile, light weight radio. It contains a rechargeable battery pack, similar to cordless phones, a flashlight, and an AM/FM/shortwave band radio. You can recharge the batteries with an 12 volt, 100mA, AC adapter or with the ...
