Review: LOVE IT ! A VERY GOOD RADIO - While quality control issues have plagued this radio for years, the fact remains that if you get a good one, it's an excellent radio and a great value. I got lucky, I guess because mine operates as it should and that's very good...and I got a great price from desertcart ! This radio is excellent for the AM broadcast band DXer and mine does not display any of the issues on AM that have been mentioned in some reviews...no birdies, no oscillation, no spurious noises of any kind and it is very sensitive. I truly believe the AM broadcast band is this radio's strongest feature which is what I bought it for. It's also quite adequate on FM with no issues and it also does a nice job on the shortwave bands. I consider myself a tough critic because I'm a shortwave listeners, broadcast band DXer and ham radio operator with over 50 years of experience operating all sorts of radios
Review: Excellent radio if you can look beyond its pitfalls - Model: Grundig S450DLX Serial#: 20130401479 Total Price Paid: $48.94 Condition: Refurbished as new (display model) My mother always used to say “Don’t judge a book by its cover, it’s what’s inside that counts”. The Grundig S450DLX certainly follows this philosophy and the many reports of poor construction are true. Dubbing this as a “Field Radio” is a misnomer. The case is made of light, cheap, brittle plastic – the kind that doesn’t crack but shatter on impact. The bandwidth and band selector knobs feel loose and have a considerable amount of play. The buttons feel cheap, especially the Light and Snooze buttons on the top, which are flimsier than a $5 clock radio bought at a dollar store. The battery door (made of the same cheap plastics) is removable and two small tabs latch into the bottom before closing it. I anticipate these small tabs breaking over time since a considerable amount of force is needed to close it after batteries are installed. The tuning knob on mine is stiff and difficult to use with the finger dimple, but it doesn’t affect tuning in general. The memory system isn’t intuitive and is a bit lacking in terms of available channels, and splitting the entire shortwave band into three sections is downright archaic for a digitally tuned PLL radio. Needless to say my first impressions of the S450DLX were pretty low out of the box, but what was to come completely changed my mind. After installing the 6 D cells the radio went from feather light to something that feels more substantial. I used 4 small self-adhesive rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from sliding around on smooth surfaces. With the weight of the batteries and rubber feet the radio stays rock solid stationary with any button press or turn of a dial. After powering the radio on I was impressed with the display, the frequency digits are large and easy to read with good contrast. The backlight is cool blue and activated by using the tuning knob or “Light” button on the top of the radio. Fidelity from the large internal speaker is above average but a bit lacking in bass response on MW and SW no matter how much you adjust the tone controls. FM sounds excellent, though, and is room filling with a lot of low end throw equivalent to an expensive tabletop model. The audio amplifier is very clean with no detectable hiss at minimum volume even when using headphones. To my surprise sensitivity on MW and SW was rivaling my Tecsun PL-600 and DX-398 using just the telescopic whip and internal ferrite antenna at less than optimum band conditions late afternoon. FM performance is good but nothing to write home about, several of my smaller and cheaper portables trounce the S450DLX in this department. Selectivity is good but I’d like to have heard a tighter “narrow” setting, this one sounds like it could be 1kHz tighter without sacrificing audio quality. The “wide” setting is too wide, stations bleed all over each other when dialing through a congested band but is nice to use for full fidelity of powerhouse broadcasters. Discovering that this radio had better than average sensitivity I was hesitant trying the external antenna connections. Other than my DX-398, large antennas bring small portable receivers to their knees. Even though the S450DLX isn’t a small radio and has connections for such antennas I still had my reservations. First I connected my G5RV. This is a dipole that’s 102’ long end to end and I used no tuner or pre-selector. Typically I would expect to hear shorwave broadcasters all over the band where they shouldn’t be due to overload, but this wasn’t the case. No imaging ANYWHERE and this was with the radio switched to “DX” and the gain control wide open, I was floored and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I switched to my 56-foot end-fed longwire with 9:1 Unun, same result, no imaging or overload. I tested both antennas connected for the MW band with the same excellent results, even late at night when the bands were open. Testing FM with a discone antenna improved reception but not much better than the telescopic whip which surprised me. To surmise this radio loves long antennas on MW and SW and handles them with ease. The DX/Local switch and gain control are very effective but found I very seldom have to use them. For MW and SW listening I never expected the S450DLX to be this good, it’s in a class of its own for this purpose and it leaves other portables in the dust. This is becoming my “go to” radio when the Icom 746 Pro isn’t on. It’s a shame the S450DLX is constructed so crappy because it could easily be rated an overall 5, otherwise here’s how I rate each feature. Construction = 2.5 Memory system and ergonomics = 3 MW Performance = 5 SW Performance = 5 FM Performance = 3.5

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the S450DLX have an earphone or headphone jack?**
A: Yes, it has a 1/8 inch or 3.5mm earphone Jack. If you use stereo headphones and have the switch in ST mode, if the FM station is broadcasted in stereo than you will have stereo reception

**Q: Could you charge batteries in this radio**
A: According to the manual, the AC adapter only supplies power to the radio. It can switch from AC to batteries, but says nothing about recharging, or rechargeable batteries.

**Q: Is it waterproof? Can you read the display at night?**
A: No it is NOT waterproof! I would not set it any place where it could get wet from rain or a body of water or accidentally splashed.  It would be as vulnerable to water as a laptop or transistor radio.  The display is visible in the dark by pressing the light button. It will stay lit for a few seconds when you use the function buttons or you can use the light button to leave the light on. The display is back-lit LCD like a wrist watch. The function buttons are also lighted and you can read the whole word for Tune, Alarm, Timer, up, down, etc. Leaving the light on will shorten the battery life.  The main display that is back-lit will show frequency, battery life, preset number, and signal strength.  It is a great radio and I am very happy with my purchase. I would replace it with the exact same model if I had to buy another radio. It is the only item that I have bought in the last ten years that is worth every penny that I spent.  Germaine

**Q: Does this radio have a tellascoping wip antenna for FM, and a Coax connection for the external Fm antenna?**
A: Yes,it does.

### ⭐ First and Second impressions
*by C***S on March 7, 2015*

My S450DLX arrived today. Installed fresh batteries and I had that uneasy feeling...you know...like the one you get the night before the boss send a memo that he would like to meet with you in his office tomorrow.... Perhaps it's because 2 other Grundigs I've purchased from amazon brand new have arrive defective before and my S350 which did work fine till it suddenly developed internal noise, static, oscillations which spread throughout the bands like a virus. It's synthisizer went south.. So, I turned on the S450DLX, It powered up and then I tried to rotate the tuning VFO to change stations...nothing happened..it spun and failed to change stations..The up down buttons worked ...well a few times before the radio locked up and I has to do a master reset... In a nutshell this radio should have been branded Fisher Price rather than Grundig.. Reviews on Youtube and Eham reflect the poor quality and problems with this radio. Now before you shoot the messenger....I realize that some of you may have had better luck with you S450DLX. But, I am a licensed Extra class Ham operator and for 40 years I have collected many many ham , communications and shortwave sets of all types. I can tell you from experience that Eton-Grundig s quality control suffers and they are banking on the Grundig tried and true name to produce cheap low quality receivers that they hope YOU will buy. Older Grundi's are fine NOT the ones made in the last 5 yrs. Best new radio I've used in the last 5 yrs is the Satellite 800 and for the value & performance the Degen DE1103 and the older Panasonic RF2200. Eton Grundig cannot even include aProduct detector for USB-LSB reception in it's junk boxes. The Degen 1103 has all that and is really sensitive and sounds great plus has USB-LSB modes. Also for great sound. Except for the strange battery..the TecSun PL-880 is hi fi shortwave. And anything C-Crane sells is super quality. But AVOID the S350 and the S450DLX as well as the Grundig new FIELD radio like the plague. They are a major disappointment. btw..the new FIELD model when you tune it mutes as you tune it so you get a chuff-chuff-chuff sound as you tune it. Eton-Grundig...will you people wake up ? OK, I had second thought s and GAVE this model a second chance.. I ordered another from Amazon. It arrived today & had NO VFO issues as did the first one... Although the Factory not the shipper packs the S450DLX in cheezy wimpy packaging, the second 450 operates well. Note..the Band and Bandwidth controls ob BOTH radios are loose and flimsy and Special care needs to be taken when using operating the switches as not to break or wear them out quickly. Eton/Grundig could have done a much better job in design and manufacturing of these radios. They are low to mid quality . Keep in mind that for the under $70 they are now selling for new. They are entry level . Still the other models I referenced above sre much better radios. I am a collector as well as a user of these sets and I doubt that 20 yrs from now this radio will still be working.. My S350 failed partially after 3 yrs. The S350 has better audio than does the S450DLX . So I say to you, buy the radio if it has a replacement warranty , it's cheap to buy & if it fails after a few yrs no big deal I guess. I'm just really disappointed at Eton / Grundig 's Quality control and R&D division. How great would it have been if this S450DLX would have had a BFO or product detector so you could listen to tha Ham radio bands ? Sangean , C-Crane & Degen do.
