I just finished reading Eric Bryan's review of the Tecsun R-919/Grundig Mini 300PE in the November issue of "Monitoring Times." In the review, he states that his Tecsun has a "rubberized coating covering the plastic cabinet." He received the radio from a seller in Hong Kong. I have a Grundig Mini 300PE that I purchased from a stateside seller. It does NOT have the rubberized coating. Instead, it has the plain yellow plastic case.
Is this difference because his radio was sold as a Tecsun and mine was sold as a Grundig? Personally, I prefer the plain plastic case. I have a Magnavox D-1875 (a re-badged Philips D-1875) with a rubberized black case. Over the years, the case has become gritty and yucky to hold. It sometimes leaves a black residue on your hands, especially if you're using it outside in the summer. I have been impressed with my Mini 300PE. For a "less-than-$50" radio, it does quite well. I have all 3 of the "Mini" radios - the Mini 100PE, the Mini 200PE, and the Mini 300PE. I like them all! 73 & Great DX'ing!! -- Stephen Ponder N5WBI Southeast TX DXer http://setxdxer.blogspot.com/ Houston TX USA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
