		For the Grundig is powered by batteries that are rechargeable with the built in generator, while the BayGen operates off the generator more directly; the spring motor is running the whole time the radio is on.
		The BayGen is rather more carefully designed, made, and aligned.
		This is the part about sensitivity, which is very much the same between the two; selectivity, which is superior on the BayGen; and spurious response, which is very much superior on the BayGen.

		If you are purchasing your 1st shortwave radio, here's a word to the wise: start with a digital tuning radio like the Sangean 818's, the 505 or the 909.
		It's much easier to find a frequency as compared to a needle and dial tuner like the BayGen Radio.
		Because of the importance of a backup radio the BayGen is an excellent choice in addition to a digital radio.
