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 Radiohttp://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 Exporthttp://gizmodo.com/photogallery/etonsatellit750/1000422301
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/LSBhttp://gizmodo.com/photogallery/etonsatellit750/1000422293
? 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 ?

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 wouldhttp://gizmodo.com/photogallery/etonsatellit750/1000422341
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"}

Thanks for clearing that up. I kinda figured he was looking at another
picture and not the one I posted.

So for purchasers of the domestic version they get ssb capability but
no bfo? Or finer tuning resolution maybe?

The air band is all but useless. I would trade it for true usb and
lsb and finer tuning resolution. Now that the devil has shown himself
in the details it is clear there are way too many unanswered questions
about either the domestic or export version of this radio to get very
excited.
