Has anyone used NiMh batteries in conjunction with the charging unit in the
Grundig Satellit 700? Will it charge them without damage to the battery or
the radio?

Also, I'm looking for EPROM chips to use with this radio. Who might have
them and do you know any chip type numbers? Thanks in advance.

NiMH's cannot beproperly charged with a NiCd charger.

I'm not so sure. The are the same voltage per cell. Unless there is some
difference in the method of charging, I would think it would be alright. Do
you know anything a bit more technical about charging differences or where I
might find out?

Then why did you ask the question?

Brian O - David was right ~ RHF

Think of it like this :
A 40 Watt and 100 Watt incandescent Light Bulb may both fit in the same
Standard Light Socket -but- Their Internal Resistance is different
along with their Power Consumption and Dissipation. The same size
NiCad and NiMH Batteries may have the same outward physical
characteristics -but- Their Internal Electrical Characteristics are
Different and thus a Charger built for a NiCad Battery with not
effectively work for a NiMH Battery and may be in-fact Hazardous
{Un-Safe} to do so.
