Grundig miniradio1/14/2024 I also appreciate its simple thumbwheel tuning. You’re not going to disturb your neighbors, and that’s probably a good thing. Though small, the Mini’s speaker is adequate for a travel radio, with pleasing sound that’s loud enough for hotel room listening. The same could not be said of the room’s supplied clock radio. It was no problem tuning in public radio WNYC, along with college radio from NYU, Columbia University and Fordham. Taking it along for an extended trip to New York City and northern New Jersey, I was impressed at how well it pulled in FM stations inside my Midtown Manhattan hotel. That said, shortwave is more of a “nice to have” than a necessity for my travel radio, so this limitation is fine with me. Though the Mini includes shortwave, the coverage is more limited than my Tivdio, only covering two bands, from 5 – 10 MHz and 11.65 – 18 MHz. It comes with a nice nylon case to help protect it in your bag. The radio lives up to its name, measuring up to about the same size as an iPhone SE, including a decent speaker and retractable antenna. Grundig is a venerable name in radios, and the Mini has received decent reviews, so I bit. About a month ago the Eton Mini Grundig Edition caught my attention, and at a sale price of less than $25 delivered. I’ll refer you to my YouTube review for more details.Įven so, my ears are always wandering, urging my eyes to admire other receiver suitors. In the last couple of years the Tivdio V–115 has been my choice, given its small size, AM, FM and shortwave tuning, reasonable sensitivity and ability to record air checks to a microSD card. I prefer to travel light, so said radio must also be as tiny as practical. ![]() This means that a small portable radio is my constant traveling companion. I especially enjoy this while traveling, touring foreign radio dials, encountering strange and distant signals. One of life’s little pleasures is tuning around the radio dial late at night before drifting off to slumber.
