It certainly does look interesting. I'm wondering what the tuning resolution
is though. I hope it's better than the SAT 800's 50 Hz.

The display appears to resolve only 1khz which isn't enough for ssb.

It could be that there's fine tuning available that simply isn't
reflected on the display.

Sure hope so. 100hz would be a minimum.

100 Hz would be a disaster IMO for SSB.- Hide quoted text -

100hz in my experience delivers listenable if not perfect audio for
voice ssb. Two radios i'm familiar with, the Sony 2010 and Panasonic
RF B600 both used that resolution and both were perfectly capable of
producing good sounding ham and other voice ssb signals. 10hz or 1 hz
would allow selectable sideband listening to AM broadcasts, but my
guess is that this radio will not have that level of tuning
resolution.

Perfect for SSB??? You're kidding right? Listenable at best.

Reread and discover that I said ...."if not perfect".... Focus on the
word "not".

If you look at the pictures carefully, you'll see in the lower left
corner of the fascia, a variable pitch BFO control.

Zero beat is possible without single Hz resolution.

Possibly the 2000 differs from the DX750, but I don't see a BFO in
this picture. Lower left shows a Bass control. There is a USB/LSB
button which I assume switches between modes.

Sorry about that...lower right.- Hide quoted text -

We must be looking at different radios because lower right on the unit
I listed shows a squelch control. Maybe there is a difference between
the domestic and export models.

The picture you're looking at doesn't go low enough.

Yeah, sure looks like it says 'SSB BFO'

DPM - Yes - There is a 'difference' between the Chinese domestic
Tecsun S-2000 Radio and the re-badged Grundig Satellit 750 Radio.

Clear 'Differences' Between the Tecsun S-2000 Radio
-and- Grundig Satellit 750 Radio

The Chinese 'domestic' Tecsun S-2000 Radio
http://hkradioer.googlepages.com/s200l
has Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Pre-Selector {Works with the Shortwave Bands ?
* Squelch {Works for the AIR Band ?}

NOTE - The Arrangement of the Function Buttons around
the Tecsun S-2000 Radio's center-front Numeric-Key Pad

The re-badged Grundig Satellit 750 Radio for Export
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422301
has Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Squelch {Works for the AIR Band ?}
* SSB BFO {Answer to the AM-Sync ? Question "NO"}

Please also note the [SSB] Button with USB/LSB
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422293
? Question - Is the simply Single-Side-Band (SSB) to be used
in conjuction with the SSB BFO Control -or- Is this a Selectable
SSB Button with a USB and LSB feature ?

NOTE - The Different Arrangement of the Function Buttons around
the Grundig Satellit 750 Radio's center-front Numeric-Key Pad
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422293

RANT # 1 - With Scanners - Who Needs the AIR Band in a
Shortwave Radio ? - RANT # 2 - Who Wants The AIR Band ?
IMHO - The 'better' designed Grundig Satellit 750 Radio would
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/eton...750/1000422341
have had Three Controls on bottom-right-front :
* RF Gain {Works for the AM/MW and Shortwave Bands ?}
* Pre-Selector {Works with the Shortwave Bands ?}
* SSB BFO {Answer to the AM-Sync Question "NO"}
