Grundig YB400 SW?????
Anyone know if these little shortwaves are any good? Need to pick one up as a
gift. If not, what's better? She already has a Panasonic RF 2200, but wants something "not to worry about" on board. Thanks, RB |

Grundig YB400 SW?????
Be informed Grundig is bankrupt and out-of-business, which is why you
might want to buy a Sony, instead. Radio Shack isn't selling Grundigs cheap because they are nice guys. Can you say "dumping stock"? You'll also notice what put Grundig, a once fine German manufacturer, out of business. Look on the back and in tiny print it says Made in China. I'm sure Mr Grundig would turn over in his grave, just like Hewlett and Packard if he knew what they'd all done to his company.

Grundig YB400 SW?????
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?

Radio Shack isn't selling Grundigs
cheap because they are nice guys. Can you say "dumping stock"? Where is Radio Shack "dumping?" There website shows full list price and so do the local stores. RB |

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.
