I recently received a Yacht Boy 300PE, but it didn't come
with a manual, so I'm a bit lost. It seems to be set up
for 9 KHz AM spacing. I did try entering 960 (entry - 960
- entry), but it went to 954 instead, 963 picks up
interference when I'm trying to listen to 960, 954 is even
worse.

If anyone knows how to change it to 10KHz I'd appreciate
it very much. Better yet, if anyone knows where I could
download a manual I could even use more of it's features.

Thanks in advance!

Just a guess... look under the batteries for a tiny switch. One position is 9kHz and
the other is 10.

There's a little black switch under the batteries.

When I bought a Sangean 909 radio from ccrane company,I remember inside
the battery compartment area,there was one or two tiny little flip
switches for selecting 9khz and 10khz.Look around carefully in the
battery compartment for a little switch lever.

HOW - Much does it cost Eton Corp. ?
To Host a few PDF Files for the Owner's Manual and
Spec Sheets for the old Grundig Yacht Boy 300 PE
and several other Grundig Brand Name Radios ?

Eton is not a radio company in the sense that I knew the big companies
to be. From National to Kenwood to Yaesu to Panasonic you could count
on parts and manuals to be available for some period of time. Eton
impresses me as a company whose focus is that of a marketer and
distributor of radios, with little interest in providing long term
support for older products. And given the price of most of their new
radios it is hard to argue too much. They are for the most part
complex radios to be thrown away when something breaks.

A few penneys well spent on maintaining a few of
the webpages that were already published and
posted on their website. Could save them much
more then answering Tech Support Phone Calls

It isn't a question of the dollars it costs to maintain a website
listing of manuals or not. It is a question of what want to do with
the business. And if they are focused on selling the latest crop of
radios with little thought to what those radios replaced, then they are
doing what many other producers of consumer electronics are doing.

How is their tech support line anyway. Are they able to field
questions about older Grundig radios?

Hey! You just stumbled upon the Wal-Mart business model. Congratulations!
