This receiver, also marketed as Grundig Field BT and Eton Field Radio 550, takes the place of the S450DLX model of which it inherits most of the features by adding as an evolution the RDS display for FM stations. By covering the 0.52 ~ 30 MHz range without gaps it is suitable both for consumer applications, for the optimal FM audio output, and for listening to broadcast stations on medium and short waves bands. For medium waves the radio integrates a ferrite antenna while for shortwave and FM there is a telescopic antenna, two connectors differentiated by impedance then allow the use of external antennas of various types depending on the frequency band. For the tuning there are two options, slow and fast, for the minimum steps in the rotation of the control knob. Banks for a total of 50 memories allow you to keep track of favorite frequencies.
