Customer Review: Portable Handheld Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
Grundig M300BL Mini300PE Handheld Shortwave Radio (Metallic Blue)Typical Handheld Radio. I love the digital tuner display. It is so much better than the dial type handheld radios. I like knowing exactly what station numbers I am on. I like the push button on/off switch. Sound is good. I tried the shortwave feature, but I couldn't pick up many stations even though I live near a major city. I thought it would be kind of a fun feature, but the shortwave wasn't my type of thing. Wish list items: 1)a lighted digital display - can't read display in the dark. 2) station memory - when you switch between am to fm you can only have one fm or am station selected. You can not lock in multiple stations. Battery life: I have been listening to the radio a lot for a month, and the batteries are still working.Customer Review: Charming, compact, decent sound, good reception
Summary: 4 Stars
I always enjoy finding a compact AM/FM radio for taking on trips or occasionally using around the house. The M300 is superior to the small radios I have from Sony and GE. Much better station separation and rejection of adjoining frequencies. AM reception is very good; FM is decent, but won't pick up weaker stations that other radios in your home may get. Have not spent a great deal of time with the SW, but was able to get some stations. Sound quality is excellent for a radio of this size. While some people complain about the touchy tuning, it does take a bit of getting used to. However, it is forgiving: if you dial in 1368 for 1370 am, the sound will be fine without any sibillance. Overall this is a fine product with some nice bonus features, like an alarm and a sleep setting.Customer Review: Excellent value, good reception overall.

I was looking for a good replacement for a little Sony radio I had been using. The Grundig Mini 300 has far exceeded my expectations! Other reviewers had mentioned the "very sensitive tuning" and I agree, but once one gets used to it, it's not a problem. The AM reception is better than I had experienced with the Sony. I also gained having stereo for the FM as well as it's own satisfactory speaker although I usually listen using headphones. All this and then having SW bands to explore as well. All in all it's an excellent value. I would have gladly given it 5 stars except for the very sensitive tuning and a "loose" feel to the band switch. Neither of these things are a problem really, but just gives a "loose" feel. I'd buy another one in a minute if I had to replace this one.Customer Review: Good little receiver
Summary: 4 Stars
I have several shortwave radios, but this has become the one I use the most because of it's small size, generally good performance and ease of use. To be sure, there are better receivers out there that cost more, but for $30 this little gem offers a lot of value for the money. Sensitivity and selectivity are good, audio quality is better than what you'd expect from its tiny speaker and the digital display makes it easy to find radio stations. All in all it's a neat little package.Customer Review: Grundig M300BL Mini 300PE
Summary: 4 Stars
This radio exceeds my expectations and serves my needs. It also works well with my Sony wireless headphones. I seldom use the shortwave and FM bands; instead I listen to talk radio as I putter around the house without the radio in hand or pocket. For my purposes, this radio is excellent.
