Dear Bob,

You have inadvertently expressed exactly my point. YOU haven't sold
your '2010 even though you evidently don't "like" it. You still use it
when your other radios "won't cut it!" I suggest that many, if not
most, people selling one of these is selling a defective, damaged, or
worn-out one. In my opinion NO ONE owning one of these radios which is
still in excellent condition would sell it.

Best,

Joe

I've had had one since 1995 and it is the best quality portable I've
ever owned but it is just not fun to operate. I'll take knobs and
switches to buttons and slide pots anytime. I only use it when my
other radios wont cut it.

FWIW - The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio
was sold in China as the Tecsun HAM-2000 Radio.

Many 'things' can be Found in the Electronics {Radio}
Shops in Hong Kong and other Asian Cities.

SEARCH eBay -for- Grundig Satellit 800

TIP - Check the Universal Radio Used & Demo Equipment
List for any Grundig Satellit 800 Radios on it.

For that extra Sound Dynamic add a Pair of Powered
Stereo Speakers for FM Stereo Sound

Note - The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio
already has a Mega-Sized Whip Antenna with a
built-in PreAmplifier {It's and Active Antenna}

Yep. They all work for one of Japan's best-known architectural design
houses and currently have a few projects in China, so I could misuse
the friendship

But then the Satellit may well be available in Tokyo too, let me ask.

And thanks a bunch for the great tips. Seeing how much my son vies for
everything of mine, I think I'll buy the household a Satellit to keep
me company while I travel (quite a bit) and a ICF-SW7600GR for home

Out of the US, Sat 800 would likely be found under it's native badge:
Tecsun Ham 2000.

Outside the US, Sat 800 under the Grundig badge is rarely found and
almost never at retail. If you can find someone with a Sat 800 here, you
might make a grey market import to your location. But you'll not find it
new, in shops there.

Dear Sir,

Your welcome. One last thought - if you decide to buy a Sony ICF-
SW7600GR, if at all possible, buy TWO of them. I'm quite certain that
Sony will soon be exiting the shortwave radio business and this is a
real shame. This one is the only model still in their catalog. It has
been made since 2001 and its predecessor model, the ICF-SW7600G, was
made from 1994 until 2000. (The '7600GR - for '7600G "revised") is
built to the same high standards as the earlier one but is better in
every way. (I own two '7600Gs and five[!] '7600GRs, all of which
function as new.) Obviously the design is well-proven in fact. Note
that NO other compact portable shortwave receiver matches the Sony in
terms of performance or build-quality, at least in my opinion.

The '2010 is a superior radio in every way but you';ll have to buy it
"used." Frankly, I'm always leery of sellers' claims; why would anyone
sell such a radio if it were truly in excellent condition? (The only
real reason I could think of that would be legitimate, at least in my
book, is if the owner had died and his widow wanted to sell the
radio.) If you buy a "used" radio, especially one that you're planning
to use day in and day out, remember - Caveat emptor!

Personally, I ALWAYS buy ONLY "new." I really don't want someone
else's problems!

Best of luck,

Joe

Mike and Joe,

Thanks a lot. I have Japanese business friends who keep flying in from
there all the time, and I'll probably request one to pick up either
the 2010 or 7600GR. Having spent my childhood with Grundig and
Phillips radios (valve radios in those years!), it seems unfortunate
that neither figure as desirable radio manufacturers anymore.

Thanks again,

Ramapriya

Hi all,

I want to buy a good portable digital short-wave radio receiver. Can
anyone suggest what I need to buy? I live in Dubai, and although I've
not seen a digital radio receiver in any shop here yet, I might give
it a try or buy one online if possible. I know of only the Sony 7600D
but I think that's about 25 years too old now.

Any/all suggestions welcome

Thanks in advance,

I haven't sold it yet!, where I live, in the desert near a copper
mine, with an aviation radar wipeing out 4-10 mhz, DX is very poor
even for the 2010.
