SH,

The 'original' Grundig-AG (Germany) Yacht Boy 500 was designed by
Grundig Germany and manufactured in Europe (Portugal).
- - - Battery HOG [.]
= = = Only Average AM/MW and SW Reception.
+ + + Good FM Sound when used with the AC Adapter.

The 'new' Grundig-USA (ETON Corp.) Yacht Boy 550 was designed and
manufactured by Tecsun GEM in China ) It is physically designed to
to look in 'shape' and 'form' to appear like the 'original' Grundig
YB-500.

Hope that Tecsun Grundig "FIXED" some of the 'original' Grundig
YB-500's problems.

? WHY IS IT ? That all the the 'original/good old times' "European
Design and Quality" Grundig Radio Collector/Lovers never mention the
Grundig YB-500 ?

I have no knowledge of Grundig products, but are the 550 and 500 the same
radio? I think that this one (550) is different-no? What are the
differences-similarities? Thanks-Scott

Dual Conversion, but that's not the problem. It is basically an awful
radio to use.
