Grundig YB400 SW?????
The only thing I will add to these points is that the sound from this
radio is outstanding from such a small speaker. Very pleasant to listen to. Harlan In article , Jim Thompson wrote: I live in PEI Canada. I am surprised at how poor the SW reception is here on my YB400. A couple of friends yhave had similiar experiences with theirs, but then a shortwave hobbyist I know here says that he has to use outdoor aerials with his fancier gear, so presumably it's just our location? I like the YB400's compact size. It is easy to tune and store frequencies. I have extremely limited SW experience, by the way. If I was going offshore I would definitely want a more substantial SW/SSB system. Jim On 10 Jan 2004 23:35:04 GMT, (Bobsprit) wrote: Anyone know if these little shortwaves are any good?

Very true. During Hurricane Juan's blackout that's the only
entertainment we had -- sitting around the living room in the dark, listening to the YB400 (local news and music). It sounded great.

Anyone know if these little shortwaves are any good?
I've had one for years....its very good for a small portable, which can also recieve ssb (single side band).....but, they eat batteries. Best bet on a boat is to power it with a cheap (Radio shack) 12v battery adapter and save the (6) internal AA batteries for portable use. Also, you need the external wire antenna for good short wave reception....it comes with the radio. |
