Well, I'm surprised. I guess my understanding of the SW8 was a little

Drake sold the SW8 circuit to "Grundig". The SW8 was built in the US, the
Sat800 is built in China. Quality was very poor in the initial Chinese
units - has improved some according to reports. Which would you rather
have?

I had the 800 but didn't care for it. Given the similarities between
the 800 and the SW8, I probably wouldn't care for the latter, either.
So, I don't plan on adding either to my collection.

Lots of people love these receivers, though, so by not adding them to
my collection, I figure I'm helping others
