Having had two Grundig Yacht Boys (305 and 400), I expected a lot more from this "Buzz Aldrin G6 Aviator". The sticky rubber cover is disastrous and will decay fast. As a short wave radio it is a very weak product.
The buttons are very small and too close to each other. This is NOT to be handled in the dark.
Furthermore, it consumes batteries at a colossal rate.
Don't waste your money. If you want performance and handiness go to something bigger.

Long-Range, Portable Flexibility.
The Grundig G6 Aviator brings you coverage of all medium-wave and shortwave frequencies, as well as FM bands. Specifically, it covers three frequency ranges. The 520kHz to 30MHz frequency range grants access to the entire AM band and shortwave broadcasts with single-sideband tuning. This far-reaching frequency range puts you in touch with news and entertainment from across the world, and also allows reception of ham radio operators, maritime and shortwave aeronautical stations.
The 88MHz to 108MHz band covers traditional FM radio, and the G6 Aviator passes its stereo signal through to the convenient headphone jack. Additionally, this radio also receives the 117MHz to 137MHz National Civilian Aeronautical Band, letting you monitor multiple aircraft communication frequencies.

The Grundig G6 Aviator tames its powerful tuning flexibility with a robust on-board memory system. It can store up to 700 stations with 4-character station naming. The Auto Tuning feature takes the hassle out of tuning in to multiple frequencies by automatically scanning and storing stations for FM, AM and shortwave signals. Multiple scan tuning types make it easy to listen to new signals. The STOP tuning system stops on the next available frequency, while the D5 tuning system gives you a 5-second taste of each station before moving to the next. The G6 Aviator's front panel is also equipped for manual and direct tuning, allowing you to punch in the exact frequency you want. The digital signal meter dynamically shows signal strength, and is a valuable companion when adjusting an optional external antenna or manually tuning to distant stations.
