Summary: Very nice radio
Review: This radio is easy to use, and sounds great. Coverage of the shortwave spectrum is very good. You also get sideband tuning, which you'll need if you want to hear HAM radio operators. Off the built in telescoping antenna I get more strong stations than I have time to listen to. With the supplied aux. antenna, reception is noticably improved. It comes with ear-bud headphones, AC adapter and the aux antenna. It also has AM and FM reception. FM is stereo with the headphones, and is very good quality. It has 2 built in clocks (believe me, you WANT that!!) 40 memories, and doubles as a clock radio small enough to use when traveling. This could be considered an entry level radio, but it is sensetive enough that you won't "out grow" it for a very long time.

Summary: A major disappointment!
Review: This radio lacks all useful features, has bad sensitivity even with the supplied outside antenna, and is made out of cheap Chinese components. The only thing it's good for is FM because of the Grundig's rich audio. But for FM only, the price is to say the least steep. I recommend the Sangean ATS 909 Deluxe ...for all shortwave enthusiasts, either experts or novices.

Summary: Fantastic quality and reception for a portable!
Review: This was my first shortwave radio and it continues to perform wonderfully. Easy to connect an external antenna for even greater reception. You'll love all the little extras such as numeric keypad, SSB, 40 channel memory, and that convenient little light for bedside listening. I've taken this radio all over the place and it never lets me down. Highly recommended!

Summary: Grundig 400 PE Receiver
Review: This would be an ok item to take along on a trip but not something one would care to use on a regular basis. Tonal quality is less than I had expected.

Summary: A portable with full size sound.
Review: This, along with the Sony ICF-7600G are among the two best portable shortwave radios offered by Amazon at this time. Both have their advantages and it is up to the user what is most important. The Grundig YB-400 is a fairly easy to use radio that allows the user to punch in the desired frequency, enter it into one of 40 memories, or scan desired bands to find a station of interest. The Grundig's best asset is its great audio. It is definitely the best audio I've heard from a shortwave portable and makes listening a real pleasure. If you live or travel to any part of the world other than Europe or eastern North America the Grundig YB-400 is the best you can buy. If you live in one of those two places consider the Sony, which has a synch. detector that allows you to reduce interference from adjacent stations. This is important in areas where there are a high number of strong stations crowded next to one another. In any case, both are well worth the money.

Summary: The best shortwave I've owned
Review: While I'm not exactly a shortwave hobbyist I've used shortwave radios on every one of my travels overseas. That being said the YB 400 PE is the best SW I've ever had. This Grundig brings a lot of features to the table such as digital tuning, forty presets, great capture of stations and above average sound. I've really enjoyed using the 400 and its great features. One complaint I had was that the manual that accompanies it does an inadequate job of explaining some of the functions and the pre-sets are all inclusive, that is it's forty pre-sets for all bands FM/SW/LW/MW rather than per band. But these are small things that shouldn't take away from the overall excellence of the radio. I'm getting ready to go on an extended trip to the third world and the Grundig YB 400PE is at the top of my packing list.
