Owning both the R-75 and the Sat-800, I can tell you that either one is a
winnerBeing as you want to listen to B.C. the Sat is the better choice. One
thing I can say about the 220 converters I've dealt with is that the things
never seem to stay plugged in. The slots are too big or something
similar...

GB,
My next purchase is going to be either an Icom R-75 or a Grundig S800.
I'm
leaning toward the Grundig, because I like listening to "broadcast"
shortwave and MW, and the quality of the synch detector is important to
me.
