Worth Owning! Reviews Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio - Black (NGSAT750B)

Very good reception, sounds great. I made a very good choice in this Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio receiver. I don't understand the less than good reviews for this radio. I got mine from Amaz** at a great sale price. The radio works just great. I have owned many many sw radios in my life and this is right up at the top. I have been listening to everything. AM, FM, SW BOTH AM AND SSB AND C/W.

Very pleasing audio. After listening to this Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio for many-many hours while working at my desktop computer, I can say without hesitation that it has the most pleasing audio of any of my portable radios. I would call the audio quality extremely pleasing for personal listening. I agree that the GE Superadio and the Panasonic RF-2200 have great audio, but they are both a little boomy compared to this Grundig.

• AM, FM, Aircraft Band (118v-137 MHz) and Shortwave (1711-30000 KHz)
• Set 9/10 KHz AM tuning; set FM tuning range
• Single Side Band (SSB)
• 360-degree rotate AM antenna
• Auto/Manual/Direct frequency key-in and station memory tuning

Grundig Satellit 750 Radio is a faily large and fairly heavy, but still a readily portable unit (except perhaps on airplane flights!). It was built for Grundig in China specifically as a scaled-down version of its famously popular Satellite 800 radio which has a fine design with very fine reception capabilities.

The options on the radio are the shining points. AM/FM/LW/SW/Air + SSB; I was not able to find another radio that had all of these bands together for the price of $230. With the Satellit 750, they did accomplish a significant reduction in both size and weight and also a much smaller price tag (especially right now) and still retained many of the features of the Satellit 800 however.

Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio (NGSAT750B) PROS:

• A double conversion, PLL (Phase-locked loop), fully digital portable radio that that comes with a AC/DC power adaptor and a readable, but too brief manual.
• Excellent weak signal reception on ALL bands (AM/FM/SW/LW/Airband) using four separate band selector switches. It really performs very well! The LW band is simply selected by double clicking on the AM band control switch.
• It has very useful bass and treble tone dials with fm stereo through earphones (NOT supplied) as well as a continuously variable RF gain knob as well as a continuously variable Squelch control (for the airband).
• A separate backlight control that nicely illuminates the display as well as two alarms for wake-up/snooze,etc.
• It has a very nice foldable top carrying handle and can also be easily moved by the two side rack mount handles as well.

Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio - Black (NGSAT750B) CONS:

• Smallish speaker, but the sound quality is very good for its size.
• This unit cannot recharge the batteries internally.
• Some of the knobs are a bit small for efficient control.
• The BFO knob control is fairly coarse (compared with other similar portable radios) for full control of SSB fine tuning for such a high quality radio.

What Others Are Saying About Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM Stereo/Shortwave/Aircraft Band Radio

"I found the radio very sensitive on the SW/SSB/FM and AM frequecies.As a pilot I enjoyed the SSB for Gander/Shanwick and NewYorlkradio plus the Volmets available. I loke the BFO an fould it easy to set up.I have always had Grundig radios, one of which is over forty years old. The sound on the 750 is almost as good as the old one I have"By Don
 
"Glad I purchased it. When I first got this rig I hooked up 60Ft of speaker wire to external ant. Poor results' When I purchased 120 Ft of solid wire and hooked it up this reciever came alive. Real hot receive. Ilm a ham radio operator AA2SM and all that I can suggest to those who gave this a poor rating is read the manual and use the BFO correctly. I have it next to my bed and really enjoy listening to the world and CW at night. Real Real nice rig. Worth every penny " By Bob AA2SM (New Mexico)
 
"This radio is excellent, plain and simple. I've had it for 6 months now, and I don't quite understand the negative reviews. I live in cental North Carolina and get outstanding reception on all bands (SW including SSB, MW, and FM). I've tried other Grundig SW models before, ultimately having to return them, so I was skeptical." By airstream56
