Still looking for a new home for my Grundig G8, and Tecsun PL-380. Both in excellent (i.e. new) condition. I never got around to using them. The prices are as follows: Grundig G8 $75

Thanks for the info. I tried this on both my pl380 and found it unfortunately didn't make any difference. The soft mute was still there with audio level 'pumping' on all but the strongest local

I have to agree with Gord. Ripping off American companies should not be supported. And yes, we are directly supporting them by purchasing their products. By supporting them, we are encouraging them to

Thanks Gord, <<< It is a rip off of a better product made by a reputable company that spent good money developing it, and will support their product with a real warrantee. >>> This is part of a

I am sorry to see so many people giving this product so much credit. It is garbage! One or two out of seven acceptable and the rest in need of servicing or redesign right out of the box? It is a rip
