Product Description
The Grundig S350 DL Deluxe offers exceptional value and superior reception of AM, FM and international shortwave. An analog receiver with digital display of frequency and clock, it offers the best of both worlds to the radio enthusiast. Utilizing today's most modern single-conversion superheterodyne circuit design, it's powered by four D cells for exceptionally long play-time and comes with an AC adapter. It receives continuous shortwave from 2.9 - 27.4 MHz, covering all 13 international shortwave broadcast bands of 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 31, 41, 49, 60, 75 and 90 meters. You will get news and events from all over the world and superior reception of your favorite domestic AM and FM stations, including those often hard to pull-in AM talk shows. It's ideal for the AM DX'ing enthusiast too. There is a built-in, defeatable, 90 minute sleep timer that automatically turns the radio off after 90 minutes so if you fall asleep the radio will not play all night long and run down the battery. You can now set the clock while the radio is playing. A wide and narrow switch on the front panel allows you to narrow the radio's bandwidth to reduce adjacent channel interference. A new SW/AM frequency lock circuit improves stability to reduce drift. There is a built-in telescopic antenna for FM and shortwave plus a built in ferrite bar antenna for AM. The back panel features a 75 ohm KOK antenna jack for FM and spring loaded terminals for 500 ohm AM/SW wire antenna and ground. There is also a 6 VDC input jack for the supplied AC adapter. The right side of the S350 even has left and right line level outputs and a stereo/mono switch. Plus there is a stereo earphone jack for private listening. With comfortable carry handle. The 4.25 inch speaker provides big sound. Comfortable carry handle 4.25 inch speaker provides big sound Requires four D cells or 4 AA cells (not included) Includes AC adapter, Owner's Manual and Grundig Be

 Great Basic Table Radio Is Tops for AM/FM Reception November 1, 2008

If you're looking for a basic table radio without presets and digital tuning, you would do well to consider the Grundig S350 Deluxe, which I have owned and used for the last 3 years. The S350 will get you best FM performance possible. AM is great also. The speaker is loud and fills a room easily.
The antenna is very long. Make sure you have room to extend the antenna so it doesn't bend by jamming against a wall or a ceiling.
The tendency to drift in the old model of the S350 has been fixed with the new Deluxe model.
You will also like the fact that though the radio is analog, you can see the digital read-out, so you always know what station you're on.
Another outstanding feature is fine-tuning and RF grain so you can filter as much as you need in the event you get AM overloading.
My only complaint about the S350 is really a complaint about all modern radios: They are built of light plastic. Gone are the days of heavy, high-grade radios. But on balance if you are a stickler for AM and FM reception, you will find that you have a reception champion in the S350.
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...
Just what I was looking for February 7, 2009

I originally ordered a Sony ICF-SW7600GR World Band Radio thinking I would sit here at night listening to radio stations from around the globe. Well it turns out I don't enjoy that as much as I thought I would. Plus, I just was not that happy with the sound quality of the Sony as an everyday AM radio, plus the antenna on the Sony was just horrible - When in the straight up and down position it would wobble back and forth between the 11:00 and 1:00 position and drive me nuts (unacceptable to me on a $140 radio). So I did a little research and came across this radio and it's ideal for me.
This is my everyday AM radio that sits on top the 'fridge and the sound quality on AM and FM is wonderful. Its ability to pull in distant AM stations is great and it works really well on shortwave.
The old fashion tuning takes a little bit to get use to and it can be a bit of trick sometimes to get it right on the exact frequency, but the look and feel and sound of this radio outweigh any of the negatives. It reminds me of an old Radio Shack radio from the 70's I used to play around with as kid.
It is really fun to sit there and turn the dial and see what I can find from across the country. I strung up 75' of wire from one end of my attic to the other and with that attached to the connection on the back (another plus as I don't need to clip it to the antenna) I easily and clearly pull in stations from Cuba, Mexico, Canada and even a few from Europe. Plenty interesting to satisfy my shortwave appetite.
I don't have any problem with the tuning dial being cheap and flimsy as others have mentioned. Sure it could be a little more solid, but I don't foresee any issues down the road. This radio will last me a long time. Oh ya - and the antenna on this radio is strong, stable and quite long.
So if you're looking for a nice, fun to use, good sounding, all around table top radio - give this one a try.
Very good for the average listener September 27, 2009

Radios are all about sound and the Grundig 350 has very good warm tones that are easy to listen to all day long. This radio can do very well as a table radio which is how I use it. The sound is solid with no distortion even if driven to full volume. This radio is a keeper for the sound alone.
As far as Am/Sw reception goes the Gundig 350 does very well provided you use external antennas to pull in the signals. The new added frequency lock works well to stop the drifting this radio was so infamous for. The Fm reception is very good pulling in many stations on the built in whip antenna and holding them rock steady.
If you want SSB ,or better Am/Sw signal capture, a full sized proper Communications Receiver is a better choice. That said, for every day casual listening ,on all bands offered on the Grundig, it does a fine job that will entertain one and all. This radio does Am/Sw well enough I can take my time now to find a deal on a decent older Communications Receiver in the used market. For now (maybe longer????) I'll just enjoy the Grundig.
All the controls on the Grundig work as they are supposed to instead of just being dials/switches to look good. Reading the well written manual will help the new user to gain full benefit of just what this radio can really do. One point about this radio that is little understood is the analog tuning. Analog tuning gives the user a way to really control this radio in ways not possible with electronic tuning while holding down the cost to enable Grundig to put in other features that normally would cost more. More bang for the buck 'cause you do your own tuning. Oh yes, I prefer analog tuning because I can slide right onto a weak signal I couldn't with electronic tuned radios.
Can I recommend the Grundig 350DL? Yes, as long as the buyer understands this is a first rate "casual" radio and they will not be disappointed at all.
Follow up after external indoor antenna added........
WOW!! Talk about an improvement!! A simple $2.50 300ohm wire dipole that I bought at the hardware store worked magic on this radio. I just hung the dipole & clipped it to the radio's antenna and this little radios was able to reach waaaaaaaaaay out there with ease. There is still the imaging problem but that is to be expected. That said, now I can listen to lots of stations that were not there before !!!!
awesome! December 18, 2008

I live in an apartment building that has metal cross-beams - and they interfere with the radio signal. I have borrowed radio receivers from friends, but could only hear two AM radio stations, and nothing in the FM... all was just static.
Then I bought this wonderful Grundig, and the reception - AM MW and FM - is crystal clear. The thing is also pleasant to look at, and it is solidly built. I don't do SW, however, so I can't comment on that.
Highly recommend!
