Keep abreast of World Affairs on the cheap with a Grundig Mini PE
Even though there are several means by which you can access your news [and the international stories at that], there is something special about having access to the in-depth analyses of the British Broadcasting Corporation {BBC} when you are on the move.
This is where the Grundig Mini PE, that gem of a short wave radio from the Grundig Corporation, comes in. The Mini PE would have to be one of the smallest short wave radios on the market and while it does not have any of the modern digital enhancements, it satisfies the need to be informed especially while on the go.
Grundig Mini PE Features
The Mini 100 PE offers eight radio bands: AM (540-1700 KHz) FM (88-108 MHz) Six Shortwave Bands (5.8-6.4 MHz, 6.9-7.5 Mhz, 9.4-10 MHz, 11.65-12.15 MHz, 15.0-15.65 MHz, and 17.5-18.4 MHz).
This radio provides you with the opportunity to listen to regular local and national broadcast stations, as well as monitor the the BBC, Radio Netherlands, Radio Australia, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America, Radio Canada, and the other major broadcasters. I should also mention the radio stands up well to some measure of "ill-treatment", so dont be too put off if it drops from your grasp every now and then.
