Thanks Jim. Yeah, I'm going to give him a call tomorrow and let him
know that prices have changed since the last time he bought a shortwave
(25 years ago). I'll let him know that the Grundig has everything but
the RF Gain Control knob and see what he wants to do. Don't think they
can afford $500 right now, though, so don't know about the Icom.
Thanks again Jim.

The Icom R-75, which I also own, is an XLNT receiver having every feature
you wanted and then some. Unfortunately, it has just been discontinued but
new ones are probably still available somewhere. They, unfortunately, are
closer to $500 when purchased new.

Well, that takes care of the Grundig then. I guess I'll just have to
focus on the specs of the Yaesu then. Thanks for the help Jim. I
appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I was able to find a Yaesu FRG-100 and a Grundig Satellit 800 on E-Bay
for about the price my grandpa wants to spend, if no one else bids.
=)
Anyway, I just wanted to ask, do both of these models I've just
mentioned have all of the features that I listed in the original post?
I know that they meet the frequency requirements, are Single Side
Band,
CW, are Desktop-style, ... but are they "Continuous" frequency tuning
and do they have "RF Gain Control"? I couldn't find these exact
phrases from their descriptions on www.universal-radio.com. Thanks
for
the help again.
