Does the fact that the Satellit 800 and the SW8 have the same
reception circuitry mean a third-party company makes the internals and
that Grundig and Drake simply slap their name on the product?

I'm probably way off on base about this, but I was just curious.

Thanks,

Drake designed and built the SW8 in the USA.

Lextronix bought the rights to the electronic design of the SW8, and the
rights to the Grundig name in the USA, they hired Techsun in China to
build them. Presumably modifications to the Drake design were done by
Techsun.

Lextronics is now using the name Eton.
