I have a Satellit 800 on its way from Universal Radio and curious about
anything I should look for or check to make certain the unit works
properly
with none of the quality control problems I've heard about...Thanks for
any
suggestions...I'll be comparing it to my beloved Sony 2010 so that will be
interesting...Long live shortwave! Also, how do I read the serial number
to
determine date of manufacture.
Best Regards...

I have owned a Satellit 800 for over a year now, I haven't experienced an
QC problems at all. It is a pretty decent receiver.....There were problems
with some of the earlier production runs. They seem to have resolved those
problems.
