does anyone happen to know if the satellit 800 is any good? i am
thinking about getting one, and from what (very little) ive heard, its
an excelent radio. Can anyone second that or maybe its not a good
radio at all.... opinions please..
How good it is, is largely luck of the draw. The design is excellent,
however the manufacturing often isn't nearly as good.

yea, from what i understand when this unit first came out, there was
alot of manufacturing problems, they started making a "second"
generation to fix alot of the problems, soon after they started making
a "third generation". The third generation is pretty much perfect...
Ill be getting a 3rd generation..
