However - If I were looking for a single stand-a-lone Table-Top
Shortwave Radio for a "Fixed Location" then I would 'choose' the
Grundig Satellit 800-M because it has more built-in Tools for
Advance Radio Reception and Improved Broadcast Radio Listening
Enjoyment.
+ A Better Functioning AM SYNC Circuit
+ Three IF Band Widths
+ Fast & Slow AGC
+ Selectable SSB LSB & USB
+ Ease of Operation =3D Size and Layout of Controls
+ Better Sound Quality
+ Whip Antenna {Mega Size} and Pre-Amplifier

ABOUT - The "Mega Sized" Whip Antenna of the Grundig Satellit 800-M.
Grundig Satellit 800-M has a built-in Whip Antenna and Pre-Amplifier
This "Whip Antenna" is a design for an earlier age of radio
when Whip Antennas were designed and engineered to be real
signal gatherers: Large and Long and Thick at the base and
tapering to the tip. The majority of today's portable radios
have short and thin whip antennas; which provide minimum signal
gathering. Grundig Satellit 800-M's "Whip Antenna" is MEGA Sized
when compared to the average whip antenna on most of today's
smaller portable radios. Plus with the Grundig Satellit 800-M
you have the built-in Whip Antenna Pre-Amplifier for add
signal strength.
=2E
IMHO: The Size and Shape of the Grundig Satellit 800-M
Whip Antenna is about the signal gathering equivalent of
one of those 23 Ft Role-Up Antennas that are required by
most other portable radios to get the same signals that
the Grundig Satellit 800-M provides.
=2E
FWIW - Here are Two Things to Consider
about the Grundig Satellit 800-M "Whip" Antenna
* The Grundig Satellit 800-Ms "MEGA" Size Whip Antenna
is Massive in both in Length and Thickness.
(About 4X-5X the 'effective' RF Signal receiving surface
conducting area which results in a greater 'Signal Capture
Aperture' =3D Higher Signal Levels and less fade.)
* Plus the Grundig Satellit 800-M has a 'built-in' Whip Antenna
PRE-AMPLIFIER.
(About 2X-4X the effective RF 'weak' Signal Sensitivity.)

=2E
I have a Sony 7600GR.
=2E
Will I get much better performance from a new Grundig SAT 800 ?
=2E
I think I can get a reconditioned Grundig for around $400.
=2E
I am just wondering if it's worth nearly $300 more than the Sony.
=2E=20
Any help appreciated.=20
