Description:

The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium shortwave radio provides the ultimate in features, performance, convenience, and sound. It's incredibly powerful, technologically sophisticated, yet easy and intuitive to use. Whether you're an experienced shortwave listener or a newcomer to the world of international broadcasting, this is the radio to have.

The Satellit 800 Millennium isn't limited to shortwave signals--it picks up FM and AM radio as well. Enjoy FM stereo with the included headphones, listen to the VHF aircraft band from 118 to 137 MHz, or get first-hand news and other programs direct from their sources. Listen to the BBC, CDC, Voice of America, DW Deutsche Welle, Radio Taipei International, and dozens of other broadcasting organizations. Many of the same advanced features that enhance shortwave broadcasts do the same for AM reception as well, so you can even listen to distant AM stations at night, and even tune in to amateur radio (HAM) and two-way SSB communications.

Using AGC (Automatic Gain Control), the radio's onboard microprocessor monitors signal strength and adjusts it up or down to compensate for atmospheric and other conditions. With its excellent sensitivity and selectivity, the Satellit 800 can receive stations most radios can't, including weak daytime shortwave signals. The radio offers three built-in bandwidths using electronically switched IF filters: 6.0, 4.0, and 2.3 kHz. Direct keypad digital tuning and a large traditional tuning knob let you scan the bands and hear everything out there. Other features include a large (6 by 3.5 inches), illuminated multifunction LCD, an over-size telescopic whip antenna, antenna jacks for SW, AM, FM, and VHF, 70 user memory presets, and two timer clocks.
