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"}

the devil is in the details ~ RHF

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 agree especially when you can only tune-in
one Frequency at a time. Most scanners will do a
much better job by covering several Frequencies.

- I would trade it for true usb and lsb and finer tuning resolution.

Me Too !

-*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.

Well the Grundig Satellit 750 Radio is most likely the 'major'
new Portable AM/FM Shortwave Radio for the North American
Consumer Market in 2008.

At the $300 Price Point and with all of it's features the Grundig
Satellit 750 Radio will be the "Got-To-Have-It" NEW Radio for
My-Radio-Shack by many Shortwave Radio Listeners in 2008.
