What can I say. It is as advertised. Works kinda great, looks good and sounds good. However, ...... There are some disappointments with this radio. First, it isn't as sensitive as a scanner for starters. For example on the Air Band, and using the same Antenna, I can pick-up Trinidad Air Traffic Control from Barbados (there is a Repeater around somewhere) at S5 on my Uniden BC355C, the BC75XLT and the Whistler WS1025. On the 750, can hear the Air Traffic, not ATC. Prior to receiving the 750 I built an elaborate long wire antenna. It worked when I connected it, but only on certain bands, so it was back to the drawing board. Messed around a bit and came up with one that worked better. No noise and very good signal strength on the established million watt output Stations like Radio Havana, China Radio International etc. However, on the lower powered Transmitters like Ham Radio Stations (7/14 /21 MHz) and Aeronautical Stations on 5.598 6.628 8.825 13.306 17.952 the signal strength still isn't as good as hoped for. I bought the radio to listen specifically to the Aeronautical Stations. Anyway, I ended up with three Antennas connected to a Coaxial Antenna Switch, see Link below. They are cut at Quarter Wavelength. The first is 35 feet which will cover the lower end frequency of 6 MHz. This length is also resonant at 13 MHz, as 35 feet is Half Wavelength. The second is 26 feet and covers 8 MHz. This length is also resonant at 18 MHz, as 26 feet is Half Wavelength. The third is 17 feet which will cover 13 MHz. This length is also resonant at 27 MHz, as 17 feet is also Half Wavelength. So the three Antennas together would cover as low as 5 MHz, all the way through 17 MHz and 27/28 MHz is you want to listen to CB'ers and Hams. But this will only work conveniently if you have the Switcher. It should be noted that the lengths mentioned are actually doubled, as one length is connected to the Centre Core of the Coax Feeder Cable and the other to the shield (Dipole). So the Antenna for 6 MHz is actually 70' long, 52' & 34' respectively. The 750 will suffice in most situations I guess, but I think if you are looking for top quality reception you should try purchasing a Ham rig if you are allowed to, or spend a few more bucks and try the Icom R75 General Coverage Receiver. There is a Link below. If I get my 750 sold, I will get a R75. Things can't get worse, hopefully. As for the Antennas, you can use 14 - 18 gauge speaker wire which should be easy to find. If however you can find something more sturdy, like 14 AWG electrical wire, use it. The speaker wire is going to stretch under it's own weight, and without doubt the copper strands will break and you won't even know it. You'll just see the Antenna getting longer and longer. No, I'm not speaking from personal experience. Okay, so I'm a liar, shoot me! The Antennas should be fed to the Receiver/Coaxial Switcher by 50 ohm coax cable. Keep the cable as short as you can. The AM & FM Bands work fine. Happy DXing. RCA AH18100N 100 feet 18-Gauge Speaker Wire Rca AH14100SR 14-Gauge Speaker Wire (100 feet)1 Workman CX-3 3 Position COAX Antenna SWITCH 1000 W - CB / Ham Radio w/ 3 Foot Jumper! Icom R75 HF Radio Scanner UPDATE: 7 April 2016 As mentioned above, wasn't all that happy with the reception quality I was getting on the Aeronautical frequencies, so I went and bought a Dipole Antenna used by Hams, as well as a Receiver also used by Hams. The radio, Alinco DX-R8T, is just about the same as a Transceiver model that they make, only with the Transmit circuitry removed, so the Receive specifications are the same. So I went from a $284 Grundig to a $460 Alinco. Actually with Air Freight, Customs Duty and a 13.8v Power Supply, it ended up around $770.00 With the two radios side by side and on the same Antenna, I am yet to hear a difference. Signal strengths are the same, readability the same. The Grundig is actually quieter when there is no signal, there is a lot less "white" noise. Guess the Grundig is better than I thought. Anyone looking to buy an Alinco? :-)

The Grundig Satellit 750 is an excellent radio. Ive only owned mine for a few days short of a month, so I should say that I am still learning how to use all the features that it has. Reception of AM, FM & Shortwave is exceptional. AM with the rotatable antenna, FM & Shortwave with the very impressive telescopic antenna. I also have a very nice outdoor 40+ foot long-wire antenna hooked up to the shortwave and I must say that the built in telescopic antenna performs nearly as well as the long-wire. (I can't say the same for other shortwave receivers I own, but the Grundig's telescopic antenna is THAT GOOD). Sensitivity and reception is excellent on this radio. Equally impressive is control feel (sturdy & smooth), sound quality (excellent) and overall build quality. I waited for months for the Grundig 750 Satellit to come in and it was well worth the wait. I must also say that Eton/Grundig customer service is excellent as their friendly staff is always helpful. The first 750 Satellit I received arrived in an open box (seals were broken) and the owner's manual was clearly been used. I called Eton/Grundig and spoke to a tech specialist and he verfied that the box should have had the seals intact and when I asked him what he would do, he didn't hesitate to say that if it were him he would return it. Explaining that I purchased a "new" radio and should not accept an open box. Taking his advice, I returned the unit to Amazon (who were sold out at that time) but fortunately I found another major retailer that had some just arrive in stock. My present Grundig Satellit 750 arrived quickly and in perfect condition in a sealed box, and I eagerly installed the 4 "D" cell alkaline batteries and begain enjoying my new receiver. Owning other shortwave receivers, I must say I am amazed at how many shortwave broadcasts this receiver pulls in with its telescopic antenna. Still, since I keep this unit on my desk next to my computer monitor, I do keep it hooked up to one of my long-wire antennas. A nice feature is a switch on the right side so you can easily switch between an external antenna (such as my long-wire) and the internal (telescopic antenna). The rotatable AM antenna is also a very, very nice feature and it certainly pulls in far away AM stations with ease as well. As I previously stated, I'm still learning how to use all of the wonderful features of this Grundig (such as programming in stations to the pre-sets. I may call Eton/Grundig tech support for help with that) but what I have learned is what a wonderful and well-built receiver the Satellit 750 is. Since these are not inexpensive units (I paid $248.99 for mine), I personally recommend looking into an extended warranty if available. Fortunately the retailer I purchased mine from offered a 3 year warranty that even covers accidental damage from drops or spills, at a very resonable cost, so I did not hesitate to purchase the extended warranty. I am extremely pleased with the Grundig Satellit 750 receiver, and Eton/Grundig customer service. In fact I am enjoying mine so much I considered purchasing another as a Christmas gift for my father-in-law, as I think he would enjoy hearing broadcasts from around the world, not to mention the great reception of local and not-so-local AM & FM broadcasts. Although I still enjoy my old fashioned Realistic DX-100 shortwave receiver, and my other shortwave radios, I must say that overall the Grundig Satellit 750 is the best receiver I've ever owned. It would not be my first choice if I was looking for a truly portable radio, but it is certainly my first choice when looking for a receiver with the best overall performance (you can carry it around, it even has a carrying handle, but it is rather big and with 4 "D" cell batteries installed, rather heavy as well). In any case, it looks great on my desk (my trusty DX-100, and my very portable and exceptional performing Radio Shack 20-629 receiver) sit on my file cabinet right beside it. I highly recommend the Grundig 750 Satellit. In my opinion they are worth every penny of their MSRP. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one again.

As many have stated, the negative reviews are unfair. However, I do think the negative reviews have some valid points to keep in mind before making your purchase. Some of the points from the negative reviews to keep in mind are: Construction: generally speaking the quality of construction is good. There is one issue that irritates me: the main tuning knob is slightly off center and has some wobble, and I know this is not a problem specific to my unit. While the tuning knob works well and is accurate I do not expect this type of defect from a radio costing this much. At this price point I think it's unfair that a radio has this detail. I have had other Grundig radios that are much cheaper and still have this detail, they were MUCH cheaper and some construction defects here and there are to be expected. When it comes to this price range, I think a little more attention should be paid to these sort of thing. this is the main reason I am giving it 4 stars. NOTE: other than this, there are absolutely no other issues with construction. Lack of Sync detector: I am not subtracting points due to the lack of this feature but I can see how it can annoy someone. I bought it knowing that it did not have this feature so, again, I am not deducting points. To be fair, the radio does quite well without it. Also, many negative reviews compare this radio to communication receivers costing 2, 3, or 4 times more than this radio. It is unfair to compare apples and oranges, period. This is a radio, not a comunications receiver, so if you want a good radio get this one, if you want a communication receiver then this unit is not for you. It is unfair to give a Ford Focus 1 star because you are used to driving a Mustang. Another interesting bit of information to keep in mind: You know how when, for example, a new video game console comes out people line up for days to be one of the first ones to get it? I understand the excitement, don't get me wrong, but when you do that you are getting the very first units (at full price) that are guaranteed to have kinks. I learned that lesson the hard way, and this does not only apply to video game consoles. I say this because there are many negative reviews complaining about how the radio works (or doesn't). While this is not an unfair complaint keep in mind many of those inital kinks are gone. It all boils down to making sure you are buying the right product to fit your specific needs/wants. I wanted a radio, not a communication receiver, so I got this one, see my point? Now, on to the radio itself: Looks: looks solid, looks like a serious radio. Fit a finish are excellent except for the minor wobbling with the tunning knob. In general it has the feeling of a serious instrument and not a cheap radio. Features: Excellent features not found in many radios (note I said radio, not communication receiver). The attenuator is great to regulate strong signals, squelch control works great, the memories are very easy to use, and the radio is very easy to program. Follow the instructions step by step and you will have no issues programming the radio. Also, I like the fact that this radio has multiple types of jacks for external atennae. Finally, the analog style S-meter is excellent and I think I prefer it over digital meters, it is by far more accurate than its digital counterparts. Now, as far as performance: Sound: I can't believe the clarity and quality of sound coming from that little speaker. Easily fills a room and you'd think you have a much bigger radio. Noise: Excellent noise-to-signal ratio. Weak signals I couldn't hear very well on my old radio due to noise come alive without noise. Sensitivity: I found sensitivity to be exceptional on all bands. I can pick up a lot with just the whip antenna (shortwave and FM), the rotable antenna for AM (MW) works quite well and I get distant stations loud and clear without the help of external antennae. As far as the air band, I can tell you the airports in my area come in loud and clear, I can pick up airports from over 20 miles away with only the whip antenna. Unfortunately, that's all I can tell you about the air band because I am not an air communications enthusiast, I just tried it out. I also have to leave LW out of the review because I live in the U.S. SSB reception is quite good too and you will have no issues picking up hams with a bit of patience. If you are just getting started in short wave listening and don't want or can't spend on an external antenna right away then the whip antenna will get you through. An external antenna does improve the performance even more though. For example: I strung about 150 feet of wire from my back yard to my house and plugged it directly into the high impedance socket on the side of the radio. I grounded it by plugging more wire from the ground socket to a cold water pipe and I can pick up stations that are normally too weak to listen to, including pirate radio stations which often broadcast at extremely low power and are often impossible to pick up without an external antenna of some sort. In short, this is an excellent radio for those who like short wave listening, AM DXing, pirate hunting, and possible air band listening which, again, to me seems qutie good but I'm not expert in air communications. Buy it as a radio and you won't be disappointed. Buy it as a professional communications receiver and we'll see your negative review here soon.

I'm an amateur radio operator, and most of my radio equipment is on the higher end. Unfortunately my "radio shack" is on the other side of my house and I was looking for a tabletop radio for my bedside. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a high end receiver since I would be mainly using it to fall asleep at night. The Grundig Satellit 750 has been around now for almost 6 years, and in that time has gotten many mixed reviews. Recently though, the reviews have been getting better mainly due to better quality control, and the street price has dropped from $300, to under $250. I decided to give the radio a shot, and ordered one. I was pleasantly surprised. Out of the box, the radio seemed very well built despite being made of mainly all plastic, but this is fine for this price range. My radio has a build date of July, 2013. The radio doesn't have any of the quality control problems such has loose knobs or broken buttons that some people report. The tuning knob has some nice weight and feel to it. I believe this is an improvement over early 750's. The included manual is terrible. It fact it's so bad and small, it's funny. Luckily the radio is simple to operate, and I didn't need it for anything other than figuring out how to store memory channels. I was up and running just using the stock telescopic whip antenna in minutes. The AM(MW) and FM bands sound good. I was able to do some MW DXing with the radio's rotating built-in AM antenna. The Aircraft band works pretty well with the built-in telescopic whip. I live by 3 major airports, so I had no problem picking up many transmissions. I did not notice any overload in the band too, which was a nice surprise. On the SW and amateur HF bands, the built-in telescopic antenna is really a poor option. It was not a surprise and expected though. I was able to pick up a few strong foreign SW broadcasts in AM, but didn't hear a thing on SSB on the amateur HF bands. I decided to try a plain old piece of 10' wire I had lying around, and hooked it up to one of the radio's external antenna connections. The radio sprung to life on the HF bands. I was picking up tons of foreign SW broadcasts, and could also pull in some SSB QSO's on 40 and 75 meters. My biggest surprise was how well SSB sounded on the Grundig Satellit 750. Using the BFO Control, I was able to tune in SSB conversations perfectly. I've seen many reports stating that the 750's narrow filter is too wide for SSB, but for the most part I don't find that to be the case. The narrow filter seems to be about 4 kHz which is wider than optimal for SSB, but it works OK unless the band is really crowded with strong signals. It does a good job on both SSB, and on the AM SW bands. The wide filter seems to be about 9 kHz and provides good fidelity when conditions permit. The 750's built-in speaker is nothing special, but by adjusting the bass and treble controls, I can make the audio sound good. The radio has a couple of other features that people mind find useful. It has dual alarm clocks. An audio input for an MP3 player, etc. And a line output to connect the radio to another device. All in all, my experience with my 2013 built Grundig Satellit 750 has been nothing but positive. No, it is not in the class of my HF transceivers that I have in my radio shack, but its performance has exceeded my expectations. Update 12/2013: I've had more time to use my 750, and I'm still happy with it. A little research confirms that the "tuning knob wobble" had indeed been improved over early versions of the 750, and all the knobs are now metal instead of plastic. Also, the antenna now has a large metal cap instead of the plastic one on the early 750's. If one thing has changed from my original review, it would be that I'm really wishing both the narrow and wide filters were a little narrower. It's not enough for me to change my opinion of the radio though.

I purchased this radio with the hopes that it would pick up some of the long distant AM channels that have good late night talk shows but I'm sorry to say that it leaves much to be desired in that department because the radio in my truck does a better job, FM is OK and as far as the SW goes I can honestly say that my old Grundig yachtboy beat it hands down. All I can say is I wish I would have saved my money and bought another brand like the SONY or C.C.Crane Well its been sometime since I reviewed this piece of over priced JUNK and I'm back with an update. After my first review of the above radio I decided to call Grundig to tell them how disappointed I was with this radio so they told me to send it back so they could have a look at it, 4 weeks latter a brand new Satellite 750 was setting on my door step but I'm sorry to say that this piece of Chinese JUNK is no better then the first. In fact even with a good external outdoor antenna this scrap will only pick up a couple of SW stations from China, And even with a newly acquired Kaito AN-200 external AM antenna it does no better picking up any AM stations, I would also like to add that I have a little Kaito KA-1103 AM/FM shortwave radio that I paid less then $70.00 for a couple months ago and it runs rings around the 750, And before anyone tells me that it must be my location I tried to listen to one of my favorite late night talk shows on AM and the 750 would barely pull it in even when I used the Kaito AN-200 AM antenna, so I went into the garage and dusted off an old Coby AM/FM radio that I purchased for less then 10.00 and change at my local Big Lot store years ago and I turned it on and the AM station I was trying to get with the almost $300.00 Grundig Sat-750 came in strong and clear. Moral of this story, save your money and buy a good Sangean shortwave or try to find a good old Panasonic AM/FM shortwave.

First let me say that the Grundig Satellit 750 is a great all round AM/FM/SW/AIR band tabletop receiver for the living room, bedroom or office. I've been an active shortwave listener for many years and have used a number of different receivers over the years and still use my ICOM IC-R75 general coverage receiver. However, most tabletop general coverage receivers only cover the AM & SW bands or roughly the frequency range 0.5MHz - 30MHz and require external antennas, not to mention that they cost twice as much as this radio! That is one of the benefits of the Satellit 750 it is an all contained radio that has the AM/SW/FM and AIR band, internal telescopic antenna, battery compartment for power outages as well as options for external antennas, audio out etc. The only radios that compare with the Satellit 750 were manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s in Japan. An equivalent type radio would be the Panasonic RF-4800/RF-4900 or maybe the Yaesu FRG-7700 (Google to compare). Sure they built them like a tank back then with steel cases as they were full of printed circuit boards, now with integrated circuits and surface mount technology the guts of most radios is very small so the case need not be steel and as large as the radios of yesteryear. If someone knows of other new tabletop radios like the Grundig at this price point please let us know. You've got to admit The Grundig Satelitt 750 is a great looking radio. I have played with it for a few weeks now and really like it for how I use it which is basically listening to broadcast SW stations as well as local AM (within 60 miles) and FM stations and occasionally eavesdropping on the HAMs. So here is my list of the pros and cons. Pros: 1: Great looking. 2: Tabletop radio but portable enough (light weight, internal antenna, battery operation) to move from room to room. 3: SSB reception - nice feature if you want to listen into the HAMs. 4: Bandwidth control Wide/Narrow works well in conjunction with the bass and treble controls. 5: RF Gain control and Antenna Attenuation ANT.ATT works well. 6: All contained radio for AM/SW/FM and AIR and internal telescopic antenna as well as external input antenna options. Cons: 1: When using the AC power adapter there is a distinct power hum heard when using headphones, including when volume is turned right down. I think the AC adapter could have much better filtering for DC. 2: Signal meter is far too deep set for my liking. Note to Grundig: Move the signal meter forward or just include it in the digital display. 3: Radio has external antenna inputs and internal/external antenna switch on right hand side. Power adapter plug on left hand side and RCA audio out on back of radio. I hate having wires sticking out on all sides of a table top radio...doesn't exactly look nice when on the bookshelf. Note to Grundig: Place all inputs/outputs on rear of the radio and the Antenna internal/external switch on the front panel. 4: Radio does not have the 12k IF output on back of the radio, although the Amazon rear panel pictures of the radio do show the IF output. Bummer I was hoping to use the IF output to feed the PC and decode digital radio mondiale (DRM) transmissions. 5: As others have already mentioned in their reviews the manual sucks really bad... repeat the manual is the worst I have ever seen. Luckily the radio is fairly easy to learn to use. Finally, the manual doesn't even mention it, that I could find, but to stop the key pad beeping press and hold the "0" button until it says off. In summary I am happy with the Satellit 750 for what it does and the Amazon price point.

There is a lot that was done right with this radio. It has high sensitivity, good industrial design, it is lightweight, and the audio quality is fairly good. Admittedly, I bought it based on the serious look it presents as well as the relatively good reviews it got here on Amazon. When you consider what you get today for $250, it's good value. That said, there is something disappointing about it in terms of 'digital' noise in the audio output. First, there is an AC hum that is really evident when one listens through headphones. Second, there is an annoying amount of digital noise coming out of the speaker. You can turn the volume all the way to the minimum setting and it's still there. That's a disappointment to me. So much effort was expended in the design and manufacture of this radio and then, at the end, someone said "just ship it," and didn't bother to fix these things which would've made it an outstanding product. I suspect that the AC hum is the result of using a cheap wall wart to power the radio. I'll be checking this hypothesis when I get a set of batteries to power the radio instead. The cheap AC adapter saves what, $1? As for the digital noise in the audio, this is a more knotty problem, but one that is solvable with minimal cost---perhaps some toroidal ferrite filters to separate the digital and analog power supplies? It can certainly be addressed with more careful attention to the PCB layout, etc. But the engineers couldn't be bothered (or maybe their managers wouldn't let them be bothered) by things like this. Certainly the design has gone through other improvements over the years, why couldn't this be addressed as well? I will eventually dig into the guts of this radio and fix this myself--it's very annoying to me to turn the volume to minimum and hear hash. If things like that don't bother you, by all means, this is a good enough radio. But quality, in the sense of what one used to EXPECT from US or German manufacturers in the golden age of audio--forget it. Everything that comes from China so far has this feel to it: "Here, we made something, it gets you 90% of what you want, take it or leave it. We own the market now" Maybe there's an opportunity for a cottage industry of someone taking stuff made at this level in China and raising the quality back up to nostalgic levels.

This is the second Satellit 750 I've owned. I bought the first with the expectation that it would become my main shortwave listening set and was disappointed for reasons I'll enumerate later. After selling the first Satellit 750, I acquired a Kenwood R5000 which I use with an outdoor Wellbrook loop antenna. This setup serves extremely well for serious shortwave/AM band listening. I purchase this second 750 with revised expectations and find it quite satisfactory. What I wanted was a good-looking receiver for my ham shack to use primarily for FM reception. In this roll it performs very well. And it's a great looking little set. I bought a "Warehouse Deals" 750 at a reduced price. As received there were only two defects: 1. The BASS control knob was loose - remedied with a couple of drops of superglue; 2. The main tuning knob shaft is slightly bent, giving the knob a slight wobble as it is turned - not a big deal. Pros (as noted in the earlier set and in this new one): 1. The audio quality is good (bass/treble issue notwithstanding). 2. Aesthetically pleasing, very artistic. 3. Reception (sensitivity) on AM band with built-in antennas is fair-to-good. 4. Swivel bar antenna on top of the set really works. 4. FM reception (sensitivity) with the attached whip antenna is good. 5. Shortwave reception (sensitivity) on whip antenna is good enough for nightime listening. 6. Single Sideband reception is good using internal, adjustable BFO. 7. The AGC works well and has disable function with adjustable RF Gain. 8. Good, room-filling audio available, but distorts at highest volume setting. Cons (as noted in the earlier set and in this new one): 1. The wide bandwidth setting is extremely wide, possibly usefull only on very strong AM/SW stations. 2. The wide filter has a center frequency 5 kHz above the narrow filter. 3. Neither BASS nor TREBLE control work anything like how they should. 4. When connected to an outdoor antenna, SSB and CW signals from the 40 meter amateur band bleed through on the 31 meter shortwave broadcast band. 5. These are design errors found in both the Grundig and Tecsun versions, never remedied in later production. I also own the The Eton/Grundig Field BT radio, Kaito KA1103, and the Tecsun PL-660. All are slightly more sensitive on FM and about the same on SW and MW. The Field BT has somewhat better-sounding audio, mainly due to its larger speaker and partly due to DSP. None have the 31 meter bleedthrough problem. Overall, the designed-in defects notwithstanding, the Satellit 750 is a very cool radio and fun for tuning around the bands. I plan to acquire the new Tecsun S8800 if it becomes available in the USA. Looks like the S350 without the tuning knob problems and performs like the Field BT, but with SSB reception.
