I have owned both several times and currently own the 800.

the price of a later edition 8, which is the ONLY only one that a person
should use is too high. almost double the cost of a good tested 800

Well, I'm surprised. I guess my understanding of the SW8 was a little

Drake sold the SW8 circuit to "Grundig". The SW8 was built in the US, the
Sat800 is built in China. Quality was very poor in the initial Chinese
units - has improved some according to reports. Which would you rather
have?
