  • Long-range antenna for receiving distant broadcasts; radio tunes 7 shortwave bands
  • LCD display shows frequency, time, sleep time, and symbols for sleep timer and alarm activation
  • External headphone jack
  • Includes handsome carrying case

Product Description
Available in fun and sporty colors like Metallic Red, Metallic Pearl, Metallic Blue, Metallic Bronze, and Gold, Eton’s Mini 300 represents pocket-sized power. Weighing in at only 4.7 ounces, the innovative Mini 300 allows you to tune-into the world from wherever you are. It is not only a great AM/FM-Stereo radio, but the Mini 300 is also an amazing world band receiver capable of pulling in seven international Shortwave bands. With its easy operation, large LCD screen, and affordable price, the Mini 300 makes staying in touch with local and international news, music, sports, and culture one of life’s simple pleasures.Amazon.com Review
If you’re looking for a solid pocket radio, and you think you might enjoy tuning in broadcasts from around the globe, then the Grundig Mini 300 might be the choice for you. This radio doesn’t have the powerful features and reception of a higher-end shortwave radio, such as Etón’s E1XM, but it does offer a convenient, pocket-sized way to bring clear AM/FM, and limited shortwave radio reception anywhere you go.


Small, sleek, and handy. The Mini 300 is ready to tune in the world wherever the notion strikes you. View larger.

Design and Controls
Measuring in at a tiny 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.75 inches and weighing only 4.5 ounces, this radio is certainly in the pocket-sized category. Grundig has spiced up pocket radio design with the Mini 300, offering this model in an array of attractive colors. In addition to the bronze we tested, this radio is also available in yellow, pearl, red, and blue. The tuning and volume dials, as well as the band selection switch, are found on the narrow sides of the unit. These controls are well-placed and can be operated with one hand. The front of the unit features the LCD display, power button, and a few push-button keys for setting the time, alarm, and sleep functions.

On the left side of the Mini 300 you will find a 3.5mm connector for headphones. Grundig has included a set of earbuds for private listening right out of the box, or the small, built-in speaker on the front of the device allows you to share broadcasts with other listeners. The Mini 300 gets its reception through a built in “stub” antenna that sticks up 2.25-inches above the device, and then extends an additional 20 inches. Although the compact design is handy for on-the-go listening, the “stub” portion of the antenna does make the Mini 300 feel a bit bigger than it should. A fully retractable antenna would have made this tiny radio a bit more travel-friendly.

The two dials on the right side of the unit control tuning and volume. The dials have a nice smooth action, but a note of caution: The dials can be easily — very easily — moved from their position. This is less of an issue with volume control, but for fine-tuning reception, you might find yourself re-tuning stations if you bump the tuning dial.

The Mini 300 is easy-to-use with a row of push-button keys and a convenient headphone jack. View larger.

LCD Display
The Mini 300’s LCD display is crisp and clear, with a clean layout that makes it easy to control the radio’s tuning, clock, and timer functions. The display has icons that indicate when the alarm and sleep function are turned on — a small loudspeaker and a bed, respectively. And as you flip through bands, the display indicates AM, FM, or shortwave selection.

There are two minor downsides to the display. First of all, there is no indication of which shortwave band you’ve selected. The Mini 300 is equipped to tune an array of bands — 49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19 and 16 meters — but regardless of your selection, the radio consistently displays a single “SW” for shortwave. Also, you cannot see the time of day when the radio is turned on; time is only displayed when the unit is powered down. Nonetheless, important data, such as band and tuned station, are easy to read, and the size of the radio certainly outweighs the limited information presented on the LCD display.

Tuning Options
Tuning the Mini 300 is very straightforward. The radio tunes MW (commonly known as AM), FM, and shortwave signals. If you’re new to shortwave, you’ll have to take your time to find just the right frequency, as the Mini 300 does not offer an auto-scan function. Yet, even with our limited knowledge of shortwave broadcasts, we made several discoveries, and heard stations from around the world. Unfortunately, given our limited language skills, we did find it difficult to always know exactly to whom or what we were listening! Even though the tuning dial is a simple, traditional design, meticulous tuning was easy and reliable.

After a little research and a good amount of time spent playing with the tuning options, we did discover that our best opportunity for tuning shortwave broadcasts was in the evening. AM and FM broadcasts sounded strong and clear, day or night, and we enjoyed listening to the radio on the bus and at the park. The Mini 300 runs exclusively off of two AA batteries (included).

Pros

  • Compact, pocket-sized, and colorful
  • Easy, one-handed operation
  • Fast, accurate shortwave tuning

Cons

  • Too easy to bump the tuning dial and disrupt the frequency
  • Cumbersome “stub” antenna

If you need a compact, highly portable way to bring AM/FM reception, as well as world broadcasts with you, the Grundig Mini 300 provides a nice solution. Weighing in at just 4.5 ounces and measuring 4.5 x 2.5 inches (H x W), this little companion slides into your pocket with ease. Its oversized telescopic antenna provides great AM/FM reception when you’re camping, hiking, listening to sports, or just relaxing in the backyard. And because it can receive seven shortwave bands, you’ll have access to both local and international news and music wherever you go.

Design and Controls
The Mini 300 is designed for simplicity and ease of use. The antenna housing extends above the device, and it contains a long-range antenna for receiving distant broadcasts. Four buttons below the large, easy-to-read LCD control time, alarm, sleep timer, and power on/off functions. The LCD display shows frequency, time, sleep time, and symbols for sleep timer and alarm activation. Meanwhile, tuning, volume, and band selection are handled by controls on the side of the device. A small speaker below the control buttons produces pleasing sound, or you can hook up a pair of stereo earbuds (included).

Tuning and Bands
Thanks to the Mini 300’s reception of AM, FM, and seven shortwave bands, you can use the analog tuner to tune into your favorite local stations, as well as far-flung international broadcasts from around the world. The shortwave receiver operates on the following bands: 49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19 and 16 meters. In addition to the telescoping FM and shortwave antenna, the unit contains an internal ferrite bar antenna for AM reception.

Connections and Power
The Mini 300 operates on two “AA” batteries. A 3.5 millimeter headset jack is provided.

Extras
In addition to a digital clock, the Mini 300 also boasts an alarm clock and a sleep timer. It ships with a handsome protective carrying case, batteries, and a pair of earbud headphones.

Product Description
S350 AM/FM/SHORTWAVE RADIO – With the rugged look of a retro field radio and the latest in AM/FM/Shortwave radio technology, the S350 Field Radio features the best of analog and digital. The S350 is the perfect addition to active lifestyles that demand high-performance portable audio capable of receiving news and information from across the globe.Amazon.com Review
Experienced shortwave radio aficionados rejoice: Now you can pick up a fully modern radio with a design that hearkens back to the early days of your hobby. The Etón S350, which is actually produced by the respected European electronics manufacturer, Grundig, offers a great feature set for listening to radio broadcasts from distant shores. The design is suitably rugged for use in the field, or you can use it at home as a simple, yet powerful AM/FM receiver and alarm clock.

Design
If you long for a return of the fashions from the film Breakin’ and you’re a fan of the 80s design aesthetic, the S350 is right up your alley. Everything from the blocky, silver and black case to the over-sized dials and switches will take you back to the “Ghetto Blaster” era. While the design gives the radio a solid look, we were a little disappointed that the E350 — unlike many radios made 20 years ago — is completely made of plastic (with the exception of the speaker cover). While the plastic knobs and controls are made to look metallic, they don’t quite deliver the solid feel of metal — something that would be nice in a rugged field radio. This quibble aside, the controls are responsive and well-positioned and the case does feel solid. The prominent tuning knob is designed well with concentric gross and fine dials. These are made all the better by a big, easy-to-read monochrome LCD display that lets you step through frequencies with extreme accuracy. It’s a minor detail, but the padded carry handle is a nice touch, too.

The S350: Rugged, retro, and ready to tune in the world. See all of the S350’s features.

Easy-to-use, durable controls. View larger.

Connectivity galore. View larger.

Features
At the heart of the S350 is its robust synthesized digital tuner section, meaning the tuner is analog, but frequencies are displayed on a digital readout. FM tuning offers an AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) mode that automatically picks out the strongest stations — great if you’re someplace with a crowded FM dial. You can also switch the AFC mode off for fine tuning less powerful stations. Although the S350 sports just one speaker, you can listen to FM stations in stereo through a pair of headphones.

AM tuning can be switched between narrow and wide sensitivities to control interference. Further tuning refinements are available via the low pass filter switch, as well as a handy RF gain dial. Both of these features can also be used when tuning one of the three shortwave bands. And if you’re serious about shortwave, you’ll be glad to know that the S350 can accept external antennas that can augment reception from the built-in, telescoping one. There’s also an antenna port for enhanced FM reception.

In addition to a headphone output, the S350 has stereo RCA line out jacks for connecting the unit to an amplifier or home stereo. The radio supports battery and AC power, but we were in for a surprise when we opened the battery compartment. Not only can the radio run on four “D” batteries, but there is also another, smaller compartment that accepts four “AA” cells — a nice little bonus if you need temporary power and you only have the smaller cells on hand. Lastly, the S350 offers basic sleep, alarm and snooze functions that were fairly easy to set and use. The LCD has a backlight button, so nighttime viewing is no problem.

Tuning In
FM tuning is very impressive. Because the radio can tune frequencies down to the hundredth decimal place, you’ll easily tune problematic FM stations, or perhaps stations you’ve never heard before. Meanwhile, testers with very little experience or understanding of shortwave radio were able to quickly tune in stations from as far away as Japan and Russia (Etón includes a handy crash course on shortwave tuning in the user’s manual). Our only complaint in the tuning department: It’s impossible to keep a station tuned on one band while tuning on other bands. For example, with an FM station locked in, switching to shortwave and tuning there changes the tuning on the FM band when you return. This is understandable on an analog tuning dial, but we didn’t expect it from a digital tuner.

Pros

  • Exceptionally accurate tuning
  • Advanced filtering and interference control
  • Fun, retro styling

Cons

  • Plastic knobs and case
  • Cannot “lock” stations while tuning on other bands

Grundig has included a set of earbuds for private listening right out of the box, or the small, built-in speaker on the front of the device allows you to share broadcasts with other listeners. The Mini 300 gets its reception through a built in “stub” antenna that sticks up 2.25-inches above the device, and then extends an additional 20 inches. Although the compact design is handy for on-the-go listening, the “stub” portion of the antenna does make the Mini 300 feel a bit bigger than it should. A fully retractable antenna would have made this tiny radio a bit more travel-friendly.

The two dials on the right side of the unit control tuning and volume. The dials have a nice smooth action, but a note of caution: The dials can be easily — very easily — moved from their position. This is less of an issue with volume control, but for fine-tuning reception, you might find yourself re-tuning stations if you bump the tuning dial.

The Mini 300 is easy-to-use with a row of push-button keys and a convenient headphone jack. View larger.

LCD Display
The Mini 300’s LCD display is crisp and clear, with a clean layout that makes it easy to control the radio’s tuning, clock, and timer functions. The display has icons that indicate when the alarm and sleep function are turned on — a small loudspeaker and a bed, respectively. And as you flip through bands, the display indicates AM, FM, or shortwave selection.

There are two minor downsides to the display. First of all, there is no indication of which shortwave band you’ve selected. The Mini 300 is equipped to tune an array of bands — 49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19 and 16 meters — but regardless of your selection, the radio consistently displays a single “SW” for shortwave. Also, you cannot see the time of day when the radio is turned on; time is only displayed when the unit is powered down. Nonetheless, important data, such as band and tuned station, are easy to read, and the size of the radio certainly outweighs the limited information presented on the LCD display.

Tuning Options
Tuning the Mini 300 is very straightforward. The radio tunes MW (commonly known as AM), FM, and shortwave signals. If you’re new to shortwave, you’ll have to take your time to find just the right frequency, as the Mini 300 does not offer an auto-scan function. Yet, even with our limited knowledge of shortwave broadcasts, we made several discoveries, and heard stations from around the world. Unfortunately, given our limited language skills, we did find it difficult to always know exactly to whom or what we were listening! Even though the tuning dial is a simple, traditional design, meticulous tuning was easy and reliable.

After a little research and a good amount of time spent playing with the tuning options, we did discover that our best opportunity for tuning shortwave broadcasts was in the evening. AM and FM broadcasts sounded strong and clear, day or night, and we enjoyed listening to the radio on the bus and at the park. The Mini 300 runs exclusively off of two AA batteries (included).
