Grundig g3 serial number

I also found a great deal not Ebay on a Satellit which will be here soon. What is weird about many of these Radios and I am new to this but a technical person so Eton E1 only? What am I missing here..?. It's so funny when you read Reviews of Radios that alternately suck and are great KevinC Moderator Super Moderator.

Joined Jan 7, Messages 6, Location Home again Welcome to Radio Reference! I moved your post here for better visibility since it was not a review. I had a ICF The sync function is sideband selectable. It switches when you tune above or below the station's frequency. The was the gold standard for high end portables up to a few years ago, and in fact, is the standard of comparison.

I know more than a few VoA employees who carried this radio around with them when they traveled. We have a few of them listed at the bottom of This is often caused by a static discharge that gets in through the antenna jack. I have no idea whether Sony - or anyone else, for that matter - is still doing the repairs on this. There is a simple box you can construct that will alleviate the chances of this to some degree, as well as give you a real RF gain control.

This thread discusses this issue Assuming you get a good one you never know with fleaBay it's a real keeper. The little G3 is very ergonomic single sideband works well and tuning is accurate but I want more sensitivity to pick up HAMs etc. It may not affect actual reception as much as it is an annoyance. As for sync lock depth, that has been improved as I mentioned earlier. In AM mode the G3 was similar to but just slightly less sensitive than the older models and seemed to exhibit slightly less aggressive AGC automatic gain control action as well, so some very weak signals were received at a slightly lower volume than stronger ones.

For perspective this was not noticeable on the majority of signals I compared, but only with some very weak daytime signals, especially near the upper end of the AM band.

At night, when most signals are stronger I found it difficult to detect this difference at all. Again the sync circuit sometimes cleaned up fading or interference-ridden signals very nicely and was a tremendous advantage. You can do an internet search for Ibiquity if you want to learn more about it.

Such stations do not sound good on most sync-equipped radios but this is not a fault of the radio. Again, if sync makes the signal less good, simply turn it off. Consider it as a tool you can use when it helps.

On FM the G3 was slightly less sensitive than the G5 but it was also more selective and better at rejecting false images. In my suburban location with a mix of stronger and weaker signals each radio could receive some difficult signals clearly that were troublesome on the other radio. For the handful of very weak signals that had no strong adjacent stations, the older model pulled those in more easily, but for stations that were crowded together on the dial the G3 was easily the winner.

The G3 offers greatly improved SSB performance. You then perform coarse tuning with the tuning knob, and finally zero in for best audio using the fine tuning thumbwheel. On the positive side the Scan function is much more effective on the G3…it scans more slowly than the old model but it finds more listenable signals, making scan far more useful and a joy to use.

The G3 is a very full-featured radio. Unfortunately the manual makes this slightly tougher by not offering the usual diagram of the radio showing the location of all the controls, but any of the features that are important to you can be mastered with a little practice. There are a few errors in the manual although Eton has been known to update their manuals with new models so yours may vary. For one, there is no diagram showing the dual functions of the 7 multi-function F keys under the flip stand as stated and as provided on the older models.

I have provided it here for you…the functions are the same as the previous model. I have always been a portable radio junkie and in my book Eton has hit another home run with the Globe Traveler G3. It offers many new features and represents the new state-of-the art in performance for smaller portable world band radios.

It is also intriguing that all these extra functions have been carefully fit into the identical cabinet as the older model…even the buttons and switches appear identical although many have different functions on the new model. I highly recommend it!

Grundig car radios will normally contain a 14 digit serial number which can be found either printed on a label or engraved on the side of the unit. These serials are only visible once the Grundig radio has been removed from the vehicle. Examples of serials include:. Using our Grundig radio code service, you will not only be saving yourself money, but also the additional time which can be involved in trying to get your code from a vehicle main dealer.

Most main dealers will request that you first book in your car with them, along with having to take proof of ownership along before they apply for the Grundig code.

Under most circumastances the code they supply will be derived frome either the vehicle registration or the Chassis number. If the radio has been replaced at any stage in its lifetime, this will be the incorrect code. There are a various reasons why a radio code based on the vehicle chassis number or registration may not work, these include:.
