Each preset can beprogrammed as any frequency the radio will receive, meaning one page of presetsmight contain FM, AM, Shortwave, and Aircraft band stations. Each page can beassigned a 4-character alphanumeric name. In each band you can adjust thefrequency using the rotary dial, or directly enter the frequency using thenumeric buttons.AM/FM Tuner: From the factory the AM and FM tuners are setup for use in North America. For use elsewhere in the world the lowest FMfrequency can be changed from 87.5 MHz to 87 MHz or 76 MHz and the AM frequencyspacing can be changed from 10 kHz to 9 kHz.Aircraft Band: The Aircraftband covers 117 MHz to 137 MHz.Shortwave: The Shortwavereceiver enables you to listen to broadcasts over the entire Shortwave band; 150kHz to 29.999 MHz. Transmission (and therefore 2-way communication) is notpossible from this radio.SSB: Using the SingleSideBand circuit you can listen to amateur radio, Morse code, and othertransmissions in the utility signal range.Clock: The clock uses the24 hour format and holds the time of day, day of the week, and time zone.Alarm: The G6 has threeindependent alarms.

Each can be programmed for specific time, day of the week,volume, playtime, and memory preset location.Antenna: The AM antenna is built into the radio. The 20'telescoping antenna covers the FM, Aircraft, and Shortwave bands. An input onthe left side allows the addition of a 50Ω or 70Ω external antenna.Headphones: The 3.5mm (1/8') headphone jack is in the leftside of the radio.The headphone output is in stereo.Stand: A stand folds out from the rear of the G6 for tabletop use.

Many thanks to SWLing Post reader, Danny Garris (KJ4FH), for the following guest post which originally appeared on his blog,:How I cleaned the sticky coating off of my Grundig G6 radio with guidance from KJ4FHA few weeks ago, I reached out to Danny Garris, KJ4FH, for help on getting the sticky coating off of my Eton E5 radio. I noticed on eBay that he was selling Eton radios with the gunk cleaned off and I was wondering how he did it.Where does the sticky gunk come from? Well, for some reason the “geniuses” up at Eton/Grundig put a rubberized, chemical coating on a series of radios they released. They looked great new but over time, them coating seems to get adhesive-like properties, almost like it is melting off. It apparently has something to do with humidity and over time it makes everything stick to the radios – dust, dirt, you name it. It’s terribly annoying and just plain nasty. Shame on Eton/Grundig for doing this because a whole generation of good radios are impacted.This leads me back to Danny and the instructions I have posted below in my Dropbox with his permission.I used rubbing alcohol at first on my Eton E5 based on some back and forth emails I had with Danny and it did remove a ton of the gunk but I also ended up with places in the finish where the paint was removed, as he warned.

Still, my concern was getting rid of the gunk more than appearances since my Eton E5 is a radio I use almost daily that I have no intention of selling. In fact, I am keeping an eye on eBay for a spare unit to purchase just in case because the E5(also Grundig G5) is an amazing radio.Not long after getting his full instructions with oven cleaner as a new ingredient to try, I noticed a Grundig G6 for sale on eBay for just $19.99 as a buy it now price. I briefly had a G6 years ago and I have always missed it but good units are typically somewhat expensive and rare. This G6 was advertised as working perfectly but completely sticky. The seller posted pictures showing it was one of the stickiest and nastiest radios I had ever seen.

But, armed with Danny’s method for cleaning the radios, I grabbed it, knowing I probably would not get another chance at a G6 for such a cheap price.Below are before and after pictures. The before pictures are from the eBay auction and the radio did in fact arrive that nasty but it does work perfectly!

In fact, it is a fantastic performer for the size. I love the tuning knob and the tuning method alone makes it much easier and more fun to use than my Tecsun radios.

The G6 is a worthy companion for my Eton E5 and I am very pleased with this purchase.The after pictures are from the hour of work I did cleaning the radio last night. So far I have cleaned the radio with oven cleaner only. I took about 45 minutes using the Q-tip method and then about 15 minutes “polishing” with a clean white cloth dipped in oven cleaner as I went. I still have some additional detail cleaning to do but the results so far are like night and day.I owe Danny a big thank you as you can see in the images below and, keep in mind, I still have a bit more work to do so this radio is going to look even better shortly! I still have a bit of work to do on the back but WOW! What a difference!What a difference, indeed!

Thanks for sharing your experience and results, Danny!I love my little Grundig G6 and, for some reason, the coating has yet to become properly sticky. I know it’s only a matter of time, though, so I’ll keep this procedure in mind.This has actually been a fairly popular topic on the SWLing Post, no doubt because so many SWLs have radios with tacky coatings.If you’re interested in the now discontinued Grundig G6,. Perhaps you too can find a “sticky” radio special!Related. Cd planet hemp mtv ao vivo gratis.
