I have a Grundig Satellit 800 coming my way, and some of my fellow ham
radio
friends are trying to convince me that I've made some kind of mistake.

The AOR 7030 is darnedably expensive, but I did have a question as to
performance characteristics and enhancements. Is there a shortwave radio
superior to the AOR 7030? Just for curiositie's sake, is there such a
radio
that IS more superior, if money were no object? Or is there one superior
in
quality that is actually less expensive?

Is there perhaps a website that has a fairly independent review of these
radios, and makes comparisons?

Any help greatly appreciated.

(I do know of radio netherlands, and universal radio.)

The SAT 800 is well worth the money if you get a good one. If you have
problems with your new 800 you can send it to Drake and they will update it.
Mine works great. It may not be the best but it may be the best for the
money.
