New Shortwave Radio/ Grundig S350DL

Well just purchased a new Grundig S359DL...Got it at RS..I bought it to
replace a older R/S DX 392 that took a fall off my table...I have not really used the
Grundig very much as it does not have Direct Keypad entry
for shortwave..I like the features and controls..has better than normal Am and
FM reception..shortwave is good but now I have to dig for the frequencies..maybe
thats why they call it aGrundig Ido like the fact that it takes either D batteries
or double A, as I never seem to remember to buy D battries..I also like the dial light
as it will stay on as needed or goes on when you turn the dial tuner...well any thoughts ?

I have heard both good and bad things about this set. I prefer the Kaito KA2100. However I have a drawer full of portables that I enjoy playing with.

...I often wonder if Panasonic ever sued the people responsible for designing and building these radios, since they bear an uncomfortably close physical resemblance to the legendary RF-2200...
