I wonder if it will be sold in the USA with the Grundig badge or as an Eton
brand (as mentioned in the press release). JIAH "David" wrote in message ... http://www.cesweb.org/shared_files/i...nphoto2514.gif |

I wonder if it will be sold in the USA with the Grundig badge or as an Eton brand (as mentioned in the press release). The Eton you mention incorporates MOST of the features of the new Satellit 900. The 900 WILL BE marketed as the Grundig Satellit 900. |
"The QUESTION For Me Remains: Does It Have AM-SYNC Detector ? ? ?"
I have been wondering that as well, but my money is on "yes". PTWBR mentioned that they expect it to cost more than the $450+ SW77, which has sync and SSB. JIAW "RHF" wrote in message om...

Unfortunately it doesn't display time and freq at the same time.

Wow, that's suprising. That display seems to have PLENTY of room for both.

Wait, it appears that, in this picture, the time is displayed in the upper
right-hand corner of the display along with the frequency. I hope the production units are designed in this fashion. http://www.cesweb.org/shared_files/i...nphoto2514.gif JIAW "Ken Thomas" wrote in message ...

I thought the same thing until I saw this:
http://tinyurl.com/3584c enlarged picture that RHF linked at the Yahoo Grundig 900 board. Time is displayed in "military" format on the top right. And (thank goodness) a signal strength meter is on the top left. I wonder if the XM - satellite mode has extended displays (artist / album, etc.) because that is a HUGE display area, but it sure doesn't look like SW mode needs it. -- Stinger "Jenni_is_a_Whore" wrote in message news:Uy9Eb.58125$cQ.52040@okepread05...

Looks promising but my wish is it would have also RDS function on FM.
The once proposed and cancelled flag ship Satellit was to have it. 73 rez (RHF) wrote in message . com... GA, Read Message #443 on the Grundig Satellit 900 eGroup at YAHOO !

I saw KBS FM-2 use RDS once about a couple years ago, don't know whether they were just testing it or what, but haven't seen it since. |
RDS reduces main channel loudness by a quarter of a dB which the
Program Director will use to get the engineer fired for lousy ratings. On Fri, 19 Dec 2003 08:24:19 +0900, "Brenda Ann" wrote: "Gary" wrote in message . com... (rezeiwer) wrote in message .com...

Here in Europe all most every station is using RDS, it's very handy
scanning either domestic FM or distant signals during Summer month Sporadic E conditions. Makes identifying very quick. I have Satellit 700 and love this radio having the RDS !

Hi, there are at least two stations here in Western NY that use RDS. FWIW, the Satellit 700 has RDS facilities, more than I supposed. The classical station out of Buffalo on 94.5 used to trigger the RDS function in a static way, i.e., if the signal was strong enough "WNED 94.5" would appear at the top of the display and stay there unless the signal faded. Now I find that the station is transmitting a cheiron (sic?) which scrolls across the display. It reads "94.5 WNED-MEMBER SUPPORTED CLASSICAL MUSIC IN BUFFALO". The 700 has a demo mode which will display a cheiron advertising the 700's attributes, but it never dawned on me that this was part of its RDS facilities. Pretty cool, but I wonder if the 700 is set up to display a broadcaster's playlist or at least the title, artist, conductor, etc. of the performance at hand. Perhaps it is and it depends on the broadcaster to transmit a code which will trigger this additional facility. IIRC, Grundig Radio Boy has a link which details the mechanics of RDS reception on his website. Regards, Grumpus |
