Anyone heard of this before, there were the batteries that were included
with the radio, green eton NI-MH 1100! Guess it's time to go to ebay
for another!

Never ever charge NiMh cells in a NiCad charger.
It will OVER-CHARGE them every time. However the
radio should have had some kind of an over-voltage
circuit built into it. That said however, after
that experience are you are REALLY going to buy
*another one* of these cheap Chinese made Eton
pieces of junk??? Get yourself a Sony or a Grundig
or better yet a vintage Radio Shack or GE or Panasonic
shortwave. They were built far better than the modern
day crap and their analog tuning is best for swl listening.


I assume you are referring to vintage Grundigs or European Grundigs. All
"Grundig" radios sold in the United States are produced by Eton Corp and
the Grundig name is licensed. I have a "Grundig" Mini 30PE produced by
Eton and have had no problems with it.

When recommending vintage shortwave receivers Zenith Transoceanic's
should also be considered. They were rugged receivers and very well
designed.
