Eton S350DL

I'm looking forward to my new radio coming this week. It's an AM/FM/Shortwave (2.9 to 27.4 Mhz) that runs on AC power, D Cells or AA Cells. It has a 4 inch speaker and jacks for external antennas. It's branded with the Eton label and made by Grundig. I like it because it has a lot of knobs, switches and buttons.

I ordered mine from Universal Radio in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. These radios are also available from Amazon, Cabela's and at Target (online only).

I've had a few shortwave radios over the years - two Hallicrafters and an Allied that I built from a kit when I was 10. It's fun to see what you can pick up with a shortwave and I'm looking forward to having better AM sensitivity so I can listen to 1090 in Seattle.
