The Grundig G6 Buzz Aldrin edition is my first shortwave. I read reviews on different shortwave radios until my head spun from all of the information. I had to make a decision between the G6 and the Sony 7600GR. Well, I couldn’t decide, so I bought both!
The G6 feels good and natural in my hands, and the operation feels intuitive to me. Sturdy, small, pocketable. I like the tuning knob, I know perhaps some don’t care, it seems a throwback to the eighties when everything seemed to have a tuning knob, but I like it. The time setup and programming stations is easy, the instructions were pretty straightforward. I am not especially talented when figuring out the workings of electronics, so for me to grasp the instructions and understand them immediately shows the ease of operation.
I live in central suburban Connecticut, I wasn’t expecting to get many stations during the day, but I did get a few, mainly some Christian programming. About and after 6pm, I got a lot more. With just the whip antenna, I picked up many stations, and listened with glee as I tuned into stations like Radio China, Mexico, and for a little while, I even managed to pick up Cairo. For about 12 hours, it never left my hands until I finally had to go to sleep.
The FM is stunning, so I will be bringing my G6 to work with me every day. I haven’t picked up anything on the AIR band, but it doesn’t surprise or concern me. Bradley International Airport is a good thirty miles from my house, but I plan to check it out further at some point when I am actually near an airport.
I like the orange backlight, wish the numbers and other keys were backlit as well, but it’s a very minor thing, and in the dark, the face of it is simple enough where I can operate it by feel. I think that the backlight goes off after a few seconds in order not to contribute to battery drain, but an option to keep the backlight on would have been nice. Again, trivial, when I consider how great the G6 works for me. When the weather warms up here in the evening I will hose myself down with bug spray and head outdoors to see what other stations I get.
The earbuds it came with are incredibly uncomfortable, but I plan to keep them, as they will do in a pinch should my dog chew up my good ones for the third time. I like the fact it comes with an AC adaptor, a traveling case, and a little commemorative card with Buzz Aldrin’s best regards. (I have declared the card a good-luck item and placed it in my wallet.)
In all, I have to say it is a well thought out and snappy little radio. I am very happy with it, and would recommend it whole-heartedly. I will probably love the more-complicated 7600GR that I also bought, but I suspect that I will probably have a preference to Grundig radios in the future.
With the Aviator at your side, you�ll always have great listening options. Tune in to AM, FM, aircraft band or Shortwave frequencies easily with direct keypad entry. Or, use the STOP tuning feature to browse stations and stop on the next available frequency. You can also use D5 tuning to get a taste of what�s playing�stop on the next available frequency for five seconds at a time. Use the international clock and wake-up alarms to keep you on schedule, wherever your travels take you.

This radio is really good, and it’s unbelievably sturdy, the perfect emergency radio.
All of the features promised by the manufacturer are available, but some of them have to be done according to the instructions. For instance, it’s a stereo radio, so you have to use stereo headphones (not mono), just like on any other stereo. They’ve been making these for many years, it’s kind of silly to think the manufacturer couldn’t figure out that some major feature was just…missing.
The case is really rugged, not like some of the fragile radios you see. Some “survival” radios are thin and crack easily.
The sound quality is good, although you have to dial the stations. You wouldn’t want digital sucking the juice out of your radio while it’s off.
if you end up needing the shortwave, you don’t need a fancy shortwave antenna. The shortwave works pretty well by itself, but for really awesome shortwave reception in a dire emergency, wrap an extra piece of wire around the radio antenna and extend it.
The Freeplay Plus Alternative Power Radio features a 4-way power system that enables operation anywhere and anytime. It’s great for outdoor use and at times of emergencies. Flexible power sources include: Power your radio and light by hand winding up the Freeplay’s generator; Set the radio in the sun and use its built-in solar panel; Charge the built-in rechargeable battery pack with the optional AC adapter; Stores the excess power from the wind-up generator, solar, and AC in its built-in rechargeable battery pac 6-Foot long retractable reel AC cord Built-in speaker Convenient rotary controls Unit Size – 11 W x 8 H x 8 D Unit Weight – 5 Pounds Includes built-in rechargeable battery pack (fully charged battery will operate radio up to 40 hours) An Absolute Must for any Home Emergency Kit
