I've been wondering about the manufacturing dates on the 800. How
can I
tell when a set was made? In what order were the fixes made during
manufacture?

If I see a set, how can I tell if it's the latest version, so I
don't
get stuck with garbage quality control?


Thanks for the information. I'll look elsewhere for the help.

RHF provided this a long time ago to the Yahoo Sat 800 group:

"The SN is # 8010008400"

Serial Number Decoder: 8YMM******
Y = "0" = 2000
MM = "10" = October

NOTE: The so-called Third Generation Grundig Satellit 800
Millennium Radios with all the "Fixes" built into them
started to be built in the First Quarter Jan-Feb-Mar 2001.
