I bought a used Grundig Yacht Boy 400 a few weeks ago. The Sony ICF-SW1

I have picks up stations about as good as the YB 400. However, my YB 400
has
much worse sound quality than the SW1.

I don't have a Sony ICF-SW1, but I have
an 8 year old Grundig YB-400.
It exhibits none of the symptoms you describe.
Sounds good, works good.


I forgot to say that in FM, it sounds just as good as the SW1 or any other
FM radio. In every other band it's subpar.
I've been reading some older posts here, and it seems as though there was a
bad batch of YB-400s at one point. I guess I got one of those.

I thought about saying that, after I clicked "send"
last night. It seems to me that most of the bad
YB400s were purchased at Radio Shack... and
they were the newer YB400PE models (silver).
If you're referring to a YB400PE then maybe
you did indeed get one from the bad batch.
