I've had a Grundig G5 for about a year, and am quite happy with it.  I 
haven't had major problems with overloads and images even in the slop-filled 
greater Toronto area market.  It's not a battery eater like the YB-400.  But 
it still can't beat my 30 year old Panasonic RF-2200, which I will be using 
later tonight to try for the WOON-1240 test.
