My 800 hums slightly when I turn the light on. Does a sync detector
help with that? My battery indicator flashes after about 3 hours of
use. Does turning the gain control up have an effect on that? My 800
can't display the letters USB. How would you have me fix that? They
doubled up the BATT and Attenuate letters. Do you know that? I can't
turn the damn volume knob past 3 before sound distorts. Care to tell
me why they included volume control past that point? Even past the
half-way point? The 800 is an absolute mess. For anyone to defend it
is absolutely incredible IMO. And just another reason why mediocrity
is becoming acceptable. Tell Grundig to stuff that unit up their ever
loving a**.

The only problem I experience with mine is false signals all over the SW
band, and they tend to move around too. I sometimes wonder if having my
PC near the radio is causing the problem. I use the PC for RTTY/fax
reception, of course. This radio is great for that kinda' thing. I also
wish I could sync the two clocks on this thing. I use one for local time
and one for GMT. It's a pretty darn cool radio anyway.
