Hi all. Currently I own a YB-400PE that I'm happy with. However, it
gets much better reception outside than in. We live in an apartment
building with thick walls and lots of RF noise. The YB picks up the
stronger stations well; however, with weaker ones it has problems.

I like the idea of the 800. However, I am wondering if in my current
surroundings I will get enough of a performance boost to justify the
400-500 bucks for a Satellit 800. I like the idea of the large whip
because putting up an outside antenna is really not an option in our
building. I was thinking the 800's filters and other controls would
probably help me get more listenable signals as well. Usually I use
the reel antenna with my YB-400.

Would appreciate any and all input. Also, where is the best place to
purchase the 800?

Thanks in advance.

I personally don't see why anyone would purchase the Eton 800. It's
not all that portable and for a little more money you could get an
ICOM R75. I'd encourage you to at least consider this option. True,
you'll most likely want to purchase a few add-ons for the R75, if not
now then in the future. But even right off the shelf you'll have a
better receiver--at least in my *humble* opinion.
