Roger,

For a 'first time' Shortwave Radio with many of the 'modern' Bells and
Whistles the Grundig Satellit 800M is the better choice. It is simply
easier to learn to use and does more that the FRG-7. The GS800M is
the better program listeners radio and offers AM/MW, SW, FM and AIR
Bands; plus superior sound.

A friend of mine likes my Yaesu FRG-7 and is considering buying one..He
was thinking about buying the Grundig 800 and asked me which one was a
better radio..My Yaesu is old but I think of it as a very good receiver
for just random tuning and I have no knowledge about the Grundig 800
other than the fact it is made in China, and some quality control
problems have existed with some past models..So for random Shortwave
tuning should the choice be a old used Yaesu made in Japan, or the
Grundig 800 made in Communist Red China?
