I currently have a DX-398 which has been a great deal of fun. I am looking
to moving up to the Grundig Satellit 800. It seems to be running about
$400.00 on Ebay. I would like opinions on this radio, is there something
better in this price range? I currently only listen to the AM/SW bands. I
have been reading as much as I can including the various reviews on the web.


Thanks!


I was considering an 800 but bought an Icom R-75 instead. At the
current price of $450(US) with the DSP module at HRO it's a better
value.

Agreed. That's exactly what I did about six weeks ago. Considered
a used/good condition Yaesu, but decided, exactly as you did, that the
Icom was the best all-around value for the price. I am very happy with
it, too.
