Odd that you won't find the Grundig G100 on the official Eton Corporation Website. You'll have to go to Universal Radio to find it. The G100 is a rebadged Eton E100. The Grundig version costs a whopping $2 more and it looks worth it to me for no other reason than its black rubber coating. How does the G100 perform? Here are some first impressions from Chicago-based reader David Wilkerson:
I got the Grundig G100 the other day. So far, so good. I listened to it on the way home from work when it arrived at my office. It ran into some interference on the L train here in Chicago on local AM, but sounded fine once I got off. Some stations were a little clearer than others -- perhaps not surprisingly, the 50,000 watters WMVP, WGN, WBBM and WLS came out best, but the less powerful WIND was certainly listenable.
On FM, the main NPR station, WBEZ, was pretty clear even without extending the antenna completely. The college jazz station WDCB, again equivalent to your 89.3, didn't come off as well, but I'll see how it sounds in the days to come.
Setting the presets and toggling through them was really intuitive -- I didn't even have to consult the manual.
