Yep! It's a Tecsun PL-230. Click on this link to see a photo of the

This new YB-550PE is probably made by Tecsun and is not likely to have
much in common with the old Grundig Germany designed models (just like
the YB-400, which uses a 2nd IF of 455 kHz instead of the typical 450
kHz and doesn't look very "Grundig like" either). The antenna is hinged
at the top of the receiver rather than the bottom (which had been very
awkward and impractical). Many of the buttons on the new model look a
bit small to me, but overall the arrangement of controls appears usable.

Does look like a YB500 however...
