Looks good Ace.
Seems to be a derivative of my lovely Redsun RP2100.
Good price too
Will wait for reviews

- Kind of looks and sounds like an upgrade
- of the analog Grundig S350DL,
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0043.html
http://www.etoncorp.com/product_card...oductDbId=6150

S450DLX -v- S35DL

A little Bigger : About as Wide and ~2" Higher
and still just under 4" Thick

All Synthesized {Digital ? Analog? or PLL}
-v- Analog & Numeric Display
* Dual-Conversion Superheterodyne Circuit Design

9VDC [6Ds] -v- 6VDC [4Ds]

"F" Antenna Connectors -v- PAL

? Speaker Size ?
-per Universal-Radio.Com "Ron's remarks . . .
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/5450.html
But more importantly; the S450DLX has that
"great audio" you expect from Grundig.
-by- Ron W9WL"

What Grundig should consider in future Radios
like this is twin (2) Speakers 4" Large & 2" Small
-a-la- the GE SuperRadio III : Using Dual Mono for
AM & SW -but- for FM Stereo use the Large for
the Left & Small for the Right. Yeah it is un-balance
but it still has a better and dynamic sound then
just plain 'mono'. -or- An optional Accessory Matching
{Same Size} Speaker feature for the Right Channel
using the Radio's built-in Speaker for the Left Channel.

Some of the old Grundig Radios had this Accessory
{Detached} Matching Speaker feature for FM Stereo.

- making it a lot more like the RP2100.

Yeah sort of a 'blend' of the RP2100 & S350DL

Hopefully it has a larger built-in Ferrite Rod
Antenna for AM/MW.

- At least the Chinese seem to be interested
- in improving their portables.

There are really the only ones that are still in the
Consumer Mass-Market Radio Manufacturing
Business. And Eton [Grundig] is still into the
Marketing of Shortwave Radios to the World
outside of China.

More webpages about the Eton S450DLX -imho-
they should have used the Model # S450"DX"L ;-}

- I'm now waiting on the Tecsun PL660 and the
- RP3100 to see if their sync implementation
- improves over the Grundig G3.
