Hi Mike,

Thanks for the link to the pictures. I noticed this in the text..
"There's also an aux in for audio input."

Shouldn't that say "output" instead of "input"? Yes, I know Brian Lam
wrote the piece, but I'm just curious about that quote.

OK so from this can we 'infer' that the new Grundig Satellit 750
Radio
performs in some respects better than the the Eton E1 Radio and the
Sangean ATS-909 Radio ?

We can infer the someone posting on DXing.info as "Jin Changge" is
making some pretty tall claims regarding the Satellit 750, and
offering nothing substantive to back it up.

And sure, potentially better than the Eton E1 in some respects: it
has an RF gain control, a rotatable MW antenna, and a cell phone
charger. Oh, there's also the inclusion of the Air Band...a great
cure for insomnia.


Plus the Eton E1 Radio is considered to perform better than
the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio in most aspects.

Sure, in most but not all respects, the Eton E1 performs equal to or
better than the Satellit 800.

-ergo- The new Grundig Satellit 750 Radio should also perform
better than the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio in most
aspects.

???? Now there's some flawed reasoning. Try again.

A look at the specs sheet and the front panel of the radio certainly
doesn't suggest that this radio is going to offer superior performance
to the Satellit 800 or the Eton E1.

Sure, the MW antenna is a plus. Perhaps it might offer superior audio
to the E1, but I'm guessing it won't be on a par with the Satellit
800. Looks like it'll have only two bandwidth filter settings, as
opposed to three on the Sat 800 and E1. No indication of passband
tuning. No indication of synchronous selectable sideband. I'd be
surprised if it offers the 10 Hz tuning resolution that the E1
offers. Interestingly, the Universal website makes no mention of the
"advanced DSP technology" touted on the Eton webpage for the Sat 750.
I'd be really interested to hear from the folks who've dropped by the
Eton booth at CES 2008 as to what the Eton folks have to say about the
DSP technology that's incorporated into the Sat 750.

It looks like a potentially interesting radio. And it could well be
that this will emerge as a portable of choice for the MW DXers, given
that some though has obviously gone into making this radio attractive
to that segment of the market. But looking over the pictures, I'd be
surprised if this radio offers performance approaching that of either
the Sat 800 or Eton E1. And perhaps this is why that opted to choose
a model number designation that's below 800 rather than above.

The rotatable ferrite bar antenna, cool styling and the potential for
pleasant audio could prove nice advantages for this radio. I'd like
to see some elaboration on the "advanced DSP technology" that is
purportedly incorporated into this radio.

I'm guessing that in some time from now, Eton is going to re-introduce
the Eton E1 as the Grundig Satellit 1000 or G1. In looking through
the Eton website, it's interesting to note how the offerings under the
Eton branding are shrinking, while those under the Grundig name are
expanding.

In any case, I hope the Sat 750 proves to be a top-notch performer
(and one that sees significant mark-downs!).

Regards,

Junius

Looks like better build quality than Sat 800, but IIRC, it's a Tecsun
build.

The Sat 800 was the biggest pile of junk I've ever bought.

You must have an early version. The later revisions were much better, and a
damn fine radio.

There was only one change to Sat 800, and that was the installation
of a shaft bearing on the tuning mechanism.

There has been a lot of noise swirling around this radio since its
announcement. One was the existence of three 'generations.' This
particular bit of myth was created by a certain eBay seller looking to
spike his profits on refurbed units he acquired, hoping to distinguish
them from untweaked production runs. It's entirely a marketing trick.
Even Lextronix reps, when asked directly, openly admitted that there was
only one change to Sat 800. And that they adopted the 'Third Generation"
tag to spike their own flagging sales, because there had been so much
bad breath about this radio.

There were no revisions of Sat 800. One version, one generation.

Quality control improved over its production cycle, but it was there
were no differences between productions samples except the shaft bearing.

Didn't Eton/Grundig go through several rounds of product delays
following excited new product announcements with the 800? Maybe I'm
thinking of another model.

Seems as though they did that with the E1, which was originally planned as the 900. I don't recall whether they had the same
troubles with the 800 or not.

That's right - the production date kept getting pushed off for the
900.

Yeah, it does have a retro look. The signal strength meter and
speaker grill are reminiscent of the Sony ICF-6700W/6800W. The
Grundig/Eton/Tecsun folks are clearly trying to appeal to our sense of
nostalgia.

Now, they just need to load the unit with vintage recordings of old
Cold War-era propaganda broadcasts, ready for playback on demand...

Interestingly, Universal's profile of the product contains no
reference to the "advanced DSP technology" that's mentioned on the
Eton website: http://www.etoncorp.com/product_card...uctDbId=351064
