Had one since Feb 02 and had nary a problem with it. Mine is built
well (built in late '01) and with my external antenna, I get stations
at room volume (great sound!) as if they were locals.

Good luck in your search, you will really appreciate the
"non-portable" sound, enjoy the big LCD and the non-muting tuning
knob.

Regards.

does anyone happen to know if the satellit 800 is any good? i am
thinking about getting one, and from what (very little) ive heard, its
an excelent radio. Can anyone second that or maybe its not a good
radio at all.... opinions please..
