The Tecsun BCL-4000 Boom Box
Imagine a radio with all the excitement of the Grundig Satellit 750, but bigger and with a more exciting sound system. Tecsun is making such a radio. This huge dual speaker shortwave radio updates the Tecsun/Eton/Grundig S350. Check out this photo of the Tecsun BCL-4000. A close-up reveals an analog tuning dial, but notice the 5 buttons. Are those presets buttons? Will this radio become available? I don't know, but I do know I want the BCL-4000 even more than I want the Satellit 750.

An analog slide-rule tuning dial AND a digital display?? WTF? A little redundant, ya think?
I'd say those 5 buttons are for setting time, etc, as on the S350.

You're probably right. I stand corrected. Imagine this 4000 getting great reception and producing big sound. It would be a radio lover's dream come true. Its popularity might spawn a digital/preset version. Sheesh.
