That's right. The Sony is fine. However the Grundig has a better audio
section. This may sound trivial but in difficult conditions listening to
the Sony over several hours can become tiresome due to its poor audio.

Maybe the AOR 7030 (I'm not quite sure this is its precise denomination)
should be considered too.
