> E10 was $25

yeah exactly, grundigEtonDegen radios of recent vintage are just some Toshiba PLL IC, some Sony audio-amp IC, and a few resistors. maybe another PIC for the annoying ass interface (Designed in PAlo Alto!) into a cheap and crappy speaker

i mentioned something to this effect on CobaltPet and he deleted my comments! too negative?

for the price ,you can get a seriously awesome vintage radio of the telefunken/nordmende/shaublorenz variety with room filling sound and a satisfying tactile knob/dial combo. or a wideband reciever from yaesu/icom that tunes every signal under the sun

I have a G6, and am dissapointed with the variablity in quality, and the high price. I notice that the G3 will also have the VHF-AM band... not a wise choice. Longwave on the G5 it replaces is ok without an external loop. Dunno... at 50-75 used for a G5, I'll let someone else test the G3's first. Hopefully, no birdie-boxes for sale.

At the rate they're going, that picture might be all we get of the G3. I see they've bumped the release date ahead yet again, to July 20 now. That's the second or third time.

Delays often mean product design issues, poor quality from pilot production runs, or even a company in financial trouble.

Not vapourware. I picked one up at the Shack yesterday. So far, very impressive, unlike the G6 I recently returned as a terminal POS. Must have gotten a good G3. A few quirks but nothing serious. So far.
