Question: What is the exact tuning range in LW mode?
Document: Performance is as expected. However controls are difficult and the manual is not very helpful. Example: turning power on too quickly puts the radio in "sleep" mode. To turn sleep mode "off" the station-tuning dial must be turned to display "On".
The display is clear and meaningful and can rotate from home time to signal strength to world time to temperature. Temperature??? in a radio?? When did you last see that? It also allows you to change the band range and tuning difference to adapt to different countries without going through a lot of hassle.This radio is one of those rare items that is exactly what it says it is.
Radio has really low range and several annoying "features" that are best described as flaws. There is an irritating "beep" signal on certain functions (loud and pointless) that is tricky to turn off. The tuning is awkward since it jumps in either huge increments or small ones...your guess as to what you may experience since it changes day-to-day. Batteries drain VERY quickly. The radio defaults to going onto a selection of timers and doesn't just go "on."
The G8 has great sound for a small multiband unit. The tuning is more accurate (up to 100ths of a wavelength)than many other digital radios in this price range. Features such as the clock, world clock, thermometer, earphone jack, & wake alarm make it extremely useful for travel. I didn't rate it at 5 stars because: it wasn't made in Germany like old Grundigs; it takes 3 batteries instead of 2; I need time to ascertain unit longevity and quality of construction.
Over many years I have used many shortwave radio's ranging from Panasonic, Grundig, and Sony. If you travel alot you will like this small hand carry digital shortwave radio with auto tuning storage. For such a small radio it has many features and great sound. AM and FM come in great on the west coast of the USA and it is quite easy to tune in steps which can be set by a simple control. Shortwave and LW will vary depending on location and country.
This radio drove me nuts....touch the wrong button..turn the dial at the wrong time and it will take hours to get back to a simple playing mode on AM radio. The timer has a mind of its own, the radio goes on and off whenever...travel with this radio and your going to go mad.
It has great quality sound and range. It's abit complicated but the tech support is wonderful, a written explanation would be helpful the booklet that comes with it is not clear , It is a fine little radio.
My dad and 6 of his friends all own this exact radio. Can pick up a signal anywhere. Sound quality is good and battery life is decent. Getting rechargeable batteries is a must because you will listen to it so much. I dont have much use for the shortwave function.
Some of the controls are a bit irksome. If you turn it on and immediately turn the station wheel it changes the sleep mode (aaaaaaarrrrghh!) and then switches itself off after two minutes and then you think the battery is dead and then you change the batteries. But the instruction manual is clear enough so eventually you can figure it out. The speaker is a bit tinny since it is so small. It won't really fill a room. I tend to have it at arms length most of the time.
My experience is a very narrow viewpoint, this set was gotten as a result of reviews from the Yahoo! Ultralight Users (DXer's) Group, and is being used in that form. It is quite sensitive and selective on AM and FM, a nominal value for SW and negligible for LW; all of which was known and expected beforehand.
Answer: The G8 covers the following frequency ranges:LW: 153 to 513 KHzMW: 520 to 1710 KHzSW: 3.15 to 21.95 MHzFM: 64/76/87 to 108 MHzThe shortwave spectrum is broken into several bandsfor tuning ease, and it remembers where you were ineach band; however, the entire range in availableusing the tuning thumbwheel. There are 200memories for shortwave, and 100 each for FM, AMand LW. There are no jacks for connecting externalantennas  and the internalantennas include a 22" whip antenna for FM and SWand a 3.5 inch ferrite for AM and LW. There is no SSB  BAND.
