DPM - Yes - There is a 'difference' between the Chinese domestic
Tecsun S-2000 Radio and the re-badged Grundig Satellit 750 Radio.

Clear 'Differences' Between the Tecsun S-2000 Radio
-and- Grundig Satellit 750 Radio

The Chinese 'domestic' Tecsun S-2000 Radio
http://hkradioer.googlepages.com/s200l
has Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Pre-Selector {Works with the Shortwave Bands ?
* Squelch {Works for the AIR Band ?}

NOTE - The Arrangement of the Function Buttons around
the Tecsun S-2000 Radio's center-front Numeric-Key Pad

The re-badged Grundig Satellit 750 Radio for Export
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422301
has Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Squelch {Works for the AIR Band ?}
* SSB BFO {Answer to the AM-Sync ? Question "NO"}

Please also note the [SSB] Button with USB/LSB
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422293
? Question - Is the simply Single-Side-Band (SSB) to be used
in conjuction with the SSB BFO Control -or- Is this a Selectable
SSB Button with a USB and LSB feature ?

NOTE - The Different Arrangement of the Function Buttons around
the Grundig Satellit 750 Radio's center-front Numeric-Key Pad

RANT # 1 - With Scanners - Who Needs the AIR Band in a
Shortwave Radio ? - RANT # 2 - Who Wants The AIR Band ?
IMHO - The 'better' designed Grundig Satellit 750 Radio would
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422341
have had Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Pre-Selector {Works with the Shortwave Bands ?}
* SSB BFO {Answer to the AM-Sync Question "NO"}
