Addressing Imara's criticism of Tecsun's CQ, Owl writes:
To be fair, Grundig S450DLX is not made by Tecsun but by Redsun (the manufacturer of RP2100 from which the S450 is derived).
Tecsun's QC is not good, and there are worse ones, for example, Degen (manufacturer of G3/G6 etc.) However, first of all, Eton should take most of the blames.
So many samples of the first batch of G3 had various issues and Eton rep simply said they were aware of no problem at all (compare that to the recent response from Sangean rep regarding WR-12).

No different then 30 years ago with QC issues. The difference is today we have the internet to expose and complain about it. And combined with distorted faded memories of great quality.
Radios today are amazing. The Tecsun PL-660 will outperform the most expensive radio from 30 years and will do it easily, at less then 1/10th the price when factoring in inflation.
