I am going to buy 400PE. How is it good?
Thanks.

You shoul read eHAM website. There is good discussion about various
brands, also Grundig YB400:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/816

I myself got YB400 almost 2 years ago. Preferred it to Sangean ATS909
based on reviews praising Yacht Boy's very good FM performance, (and
it was little bit cheaper too).

Overall I'm quite satisfied with it - looks nice, is not too big for
travelling, ok battery life and has good sensitivity. At least FM and
SW are definitely better than with my old workhorse - DUX TR 2810
SW/AM/FM receiver
SSB is usable also, only needs sort of responsive finger for
fine-tuning those broadcasts.
One thing I like very much is that those 40 memory slots can be mixed
and matched between any band.

Remarks: I wish an option to turn LCD light continuously on at least
when AC adapter is used.

Having used this radio for some time now I got to a conclusion that it
is really sad not to have a tuning dial on this fine radio receiver.
This is matter of taste of course but by my opinion it is much more
convenient to use dial for surfing trough those MW and SW channels.

So if I have to happen to buy a replacement for my Yacht Boy 400PE
then probably I'm gonna look for a model with the same price,
features, performance and battery life, but only with rotary tuning
knob.
