Hello,
I currently own a Grundig Satellit 1400 sl but it is rather (more than 20 years) old and I hear too many crackles when I turn the nob to switch to others frequency bands. Furthermore, it becomes very difficult to stay tuned to exactly the same frequency, I always must adjust it by turning the main nob. It's really a pain to listen to sw. So I wish to buy a brand new one with the same performance in order to listen to international stations. One of the purpose is for DXing, hearing weak radio stations from all over the world. And cheap ![]() I am thinking to the Grundig yacht boy 80 wr 5408 or Sangean ats 505 since it seems to be the same receiver. A pocket sw radio is ok for me. Its feature should be a range from 1600-30000 khz without discontinuity, "no holes" if you prefer. I saw at this web site (http://www.grundig.com/index.php?id=301&pid=291) an interesting one. When searching the web, a few manufacturers state their radio is a full range 1600-3000 khz but when looking at a vendor in France (I live in this country), this is unfortunately no longer true since some frequencies are missing, I wonder why. If anyone has usefull links or informations for buying one in France he is the welcome. |

I ordered the degen 1103 and AM and sw antennas for 85euros shipping included from tqu_china on eBay ... there is eg Sony 7600GR 169 euros from www.thiecom.de or sangean 909 for about same price.. sync is good on sony, 909 has narrow wide ... |

Bonjour Jacques, Mon conseil serait plutôt similaire à celui de Switcher, mais évidemment, cela dépend de ton budget : 1) ATS 909 (j'en ai un, super radio !) http://www.dxradio.co.uk/sangean/ats909.php http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/797 http://www.sardif.com/store/product_...roducts_id=101 2) Sony 7600GR (perso j'ai un vieux SW-100, la synchro aide pas mal) http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1534 http://www.leguide.com/sb/leguide/re.../1/1061200.htm 3) Degen/Kaito 1103 (j'aurai à l'acheter je prendrai la version Kaito qui doit être mieux contrôlé pour l'export). Pas cher. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5071 http://www.radiolabs.com/products/ra...kaito-1103.php Il y a aussi le Degen/Kaito 1102, plus petit, qui marche pas mal parait-il... 4)Eton E5 (un DE1103 repackagé et avec une ergonomie améliorée) http://www.radiointel.com/review-etone5.htm Plus cher que le De1103. Je te recommande le site www.radiointel.com et en particulier les pages "Reviews", comme celle-ci : http://www.radiointel.com/portwars.htm Personnellement j'ai quelques accessoires en plus : - antenne SW Sony AL-LP1 (super antenne !) - antenne SW Kaito KA31 (= Degen DE31, très bonnes perf mais délicate à régler) - antenne MW Degen TG33 (mouais....) - antennes filaires 5 et 7 m reçues avec les radios ATS909 et SW100, mais je ne les utilises presque plus depuis que j'ai les antennes actives - antenne externe de 10m env. avec un "balun" 9:1 (le tout fait maison avec du matériel de récupération : 0 €) : perf équivalentes aux antennes actives, avec plus de bruit mais sans pile. Pour acheter les radios, les sites Internet sont le plus pratique, surtout pour les Kaito/Degen/Eton : - Degen : les vendeurs chinois sur eBay (tiens ! je ne trouve plus le 1103 ?????) - Kaito : perso je suis passé par www.radios4you.com mais il te faut un relais aux USA pour t'apporter ta radio - Eton : assez dur à trouver. Aux USA, sinon en GB ici : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=180038382767 Le Sony 7600GR est dispo à la FNAC et DARTY (cher !!!). Pour les Sangean : si tu es en région parisienne Nord (ou que tu peux t'y déplacer), un excellent magasin est Sarcelles Diffusion (en face de la gare RER), qui vend aussi par Internet (http://www.sardif.com/store/index.php?cPath=8_55_134) Les sources françaises sont intéressantes si tu souhaites avoir un SAV accessible. Bonne recherche, Charly ------- English version ---------------- My advice will like Siwtcher's but obviously it will depends on your budget : 1) ATS 909 (I got one, super radio !) http://www.dxradio.co.uk/sangean/ats909.php http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/797 http://www.sardif.com/store/product_...roducts_id=101 2) Sony 7600GR (I have a SW100 and can tell the sync detect can help) http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1534 http://www.leguide.com/sb/leguide/re.../1/1061200.htm 3) Degen/Kaito 1103 (I would advice the Kaito version since it might have been better controled for exportation).

I do recommand you the www.radiointel.com web site and in particular this web page : http://www.radiointel.com/portwars.htm I own some more accesories : - SW Sony AL-LP1 anteann (super antenna !) - SW Kaito KA31 antenna (= Degen DE31, good performer but difficult to adjust) - MW Degen TG33 antenna (not that good, but helps) - reel anteenas of 5 and 7 m bundled with Sangean and Sony radios, but I rarely use them since I have the active antennas - home made external 10m long-wire antenna with a 9:1 "balun" : performs like the active antenna, with more noise but less baterries. Internet sites are more convenients to buy these radios, mainly for Degen/Kaito/Eton : - Degen : Chinese eBay reseller (ooops ! I can't find the 1103 anymore ?????) - Kaito : I used www.radios4you.com but you need a contact located in the USA to bring the radio in Europe - Eton : Difficult to find in Europe. English reseller here : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=180038382767 The Sony 7600GR is available in FNAC and DARTY shops (expensive !!!). For the Sangean : if you live in North of Paris or can go there, a good shop is Sarcelles Diffusion (located in front of the railway station), that is also selling on line (http://www.sardif.com/store/index.php?cPath=8_55_134) French shops are adviced if you wish to have a local waranty.

You can get a cheaper one from the SarDif French shop here (119 €) : http://www.sardif.com/store/product_...products_id=99 If you can add 30 € to your budget, then I would advice the 909 for 189 € in the same shop (see link in the previous post).
