Ah yes, I see. I wasn't reading your headers! Yes, you should be
able to find one. Let us know the price if you do!

Check the AC power requirements. The Ham-2000 may not operate on 120-V
AC.

Neither does the Sat 800.. they both run from DC supplies that drop it down
to 9 VDC. I'm pretty sure that those supplies are univolt.

it
for quite a while.. I figure I can pick one up for a lot

So how much are these compared to the 800?


That's what I'm still trying to find out.. if the difference is similar to
that of other Tecsun OEM radios and their Grundig badged counterparts, it
should be around $300 or less..



That would be cool if you could get one for a good price. Good luck and let
us know.

The Sat 800 is a poor quality radio. Consider that in your purchase.

Could you elaborate on why? I have not yet found a review claiming a
bad experience. I ask because I am saving my lunch money for one of
these beasties and would hate to be disappointed.

You are obviously NOT looking very hard. There are plenty of people with
bad experiences. If you are lucky enough to get a good one (I did) you will
probably love it.

Sat 800 Problems:

1. Obviously a good receiver for program listening, but not sensitive enough
for anything approaching DX.

2. Gigantic size and weight makes it unwieldy.

3. Bandscanning hampered by digital hash from the display.

4. Low-level AC hum in audio overwhelms DX.

5. Requires 6 D batteries and will drain them in three hours.

I've ended up listening to my DX398 more than the SAT800. Much prefer my old
Sony 6800W to the 800.
