This radio is not for you if you want to listen in on Ham radio operators chit-chat. It doesn't receive single sideband broadcasts. But, for a small portable radio that receives AM, FM, international Shortwave broadcasts, and plays MP3 formatted recordings, you can't make a better choice than this little Grundig G4.
The G4 has a very powerful receiver that brings in AM, FM, and ten short wave broadcasts bands. It competes well with my 14 pound Grundig 800 Satelite Milliniam; and the G4 weighs less than a pound.
The built-in speaker is good for its size, but you must listen to this radio with earphones to fully appreciate the quality of the tuner. I thought it sounded great using my Koss Titanium PRO35A headphones - that is until I tried it on the Sony Noise Canceling MDR-NC6 headphones. Wow! I bet that if I owned a better headphone set the G4 would knock me out.
The G4 is equipped with an internal flash memory of one gigabyte and accepts two gigabyte SD or MMC memory cards. It

I really wanted this to work, since it is, as far as I know, the only available integrated AM/FM/Recorder. The instruction manual is incomplete and hard to follow, but with trial-and-error I was finally able to get good recordings. The MP3 player function is not user-friendly, but at least it was easy to copy the files to an MP3 player using a PC.
Then after about 3 days it would no longer record, and also was no longer recognized when connected by USB cable to my PC. Luckily this was well within the 30 day return period. It seems like I will have to keep looking for AM radio recording options.
