Product Description
The S350 is one of the best-performing radios. The rugged body, military-style controls, and precise tuning mean this radio is as well-suited to an African safari as it is to a weekend camping trip. You get excellent AM, FM, and shortwave reception, thanks to the external antenna. And Eton didn't skimp on sound - you get a large, full-range speaker designed for your listening pleasure.

as advertised June 25, 2008
does everything as advertised, only thing i didn't read upon was: it shuts off automatically after 90 minutes, which can be annoying. Very
plain looking radio, but a solid performer.
 Decent but with exceptions June 5, 2008

I purchased this radio to replace a Panasonic RF1100 that I have had since it was new sometime in the 1970's. The 350DL has a lot of useful features and the primary ones for me include the sleep timer, alarm colck and the published claim of good sensitivity. The overall sound quality of this radio is pleasing. The sensitivity compared to cheap radios selling for a lot less is good although not as sensitive as my GE Super Radios models 2 and 3. As I have more sophisticated equipemnt for listening to shortwave, this was not one of my primary objectives for buying this radio although the inclusion of shortwave is a nice plus.
The controls are nicely laid out, the instruction manual quite easy to understand to enable you to derive the full enjoyment of all this radio has to offer.
The big drawback and dissapointment I found with the 350DL is the tuning control. There is a lot of " slop " in the control, not just the knob but from what is behingd the control panel. Another problem with the tuning control is an overabundant " backlash " when trying to set the tuning on a station, particularly when tuning in shortwave stations. You tune in the station or desired frequency, let go of the tuning knob and you can actually see it change as it moves forward or backward from where you left it. For those desiring to tune around the shortwave bands to see what is there this is a big drawback. I actually wonder how long the tuning control will last on this radio before it falls apart. The entire tuning knob assembly wiggles and wobbles while you turn it. This should not happen, and I feel is a major cause for concern. For the $100 price tag I am not expecting a mil-spec radio by any means but the poorly designed tuning system in this radio gives me no other choice than to down rate it. That is unfortunate too as this radio has many other features so worthwhile.
If you are planning on purchasing this radio to use for AM & FM broadcast reception and not change stations too frequently, it's a decent radio. If you plan on tuning to different stations frequently you may wish to consider looking at other makes and models befoe buying this.
I purchsed this radio primarily to use as a bedside clock radio with sleep timer and only occasional tuning. The digital display is not absolutely accurate but for the price it is good enough.
 Get it and enjoy... April 26, 2008

Glad to see they're producing the new S350DL models with the option to get the Grundig name on them.
Our RCA Superadio III is by far the best reception and sound radio in our armamentarium, until...
The GS350DL Sound, AM, FM, and Sortwave reception are a source of pure pleasure. After a lot of research and some confusion with all the presentations of this radio, finally buying it proved to be an excellent decision.
There are a lot of nice features that deserve a few minutes with the manual. It's well written and concise. Some reviews with complaints are giveaways the the owner just didn't take the few minutes to check out the instructions. While everything is fairly intuitive, it does help to see what the manufacturer has to say. So spend a few well worth minutes and read it!
The only time I got sexual feelings for an inanimate object was with my 1965 Mustang. This radio is trying to do it to me again...
