Remember, I am no expert so take everything you see with that in mind.
Thanks for watching.
I regularly use the Tecsun S2000 which is the exact same radio. BNC connected to a MLA30+ antenna which is a wonderful pairing. Shortwave has never sounded so good. This radio has just enough signal control (RF gain + antenna sensitivity) to optimize signal reception. This unit is only dual conversion but it performs very well. SSB is very stable. Love it!!!!
Thanks for the info!
THIS is what I was wondering about. Running an exterior/outside antenna. ALSO, IS THERE NO A/C power available...NOT JUST ‘batteries’?!
You are right about the manual. If not for these videos a person could get confused. I've had my 750 a few days now and depend on these videos. I watched them before I made my purchase so I was familiar with the controls. Like you I like my radio a lot.
Thanks for your review. It really helped me determine which radio to purchase. I can say that so far I have been very happy with the 750. Thanks again for taking the time to make the video!
You are very welcome and thanks for the report.
I decided to buy this until now: 2019. watch your video to make up my mind for adding this radio into my collection. From a viewer in China.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
Greatly enjoy the videos. My new Tecsun S 2000 arrived this morning and so far I am very pleased. Have only used the internal antenna but waiting for a PL 259 to BNC adapter to arrive and then I will connect to my Wellbrook 1530 antenna. Going to set this up properly, elevated and with a rotator as I have just had it on the floor in the house up to now. Look forward to the next video.
+Nick Mahy Thanks for your report.
Bought and received my new Grundig Satellit 750 about 10 days ago all thanks to your review.
+VICTOR ECHO THREE You are very welcome.
I really like the 750 when it comes to straight forward DX listening, sometimes I like to just sit back and listen and not have to worry about TX power supplies, band limits, ect. Out of all the higher end I think the 750 is on of my favorites. the 2010 is great but not built for band surfing, the 800 is great but just huge and the Eton E1XM/900 was just too much stuff packed in a funky box, it took pleasure out of listening. and while in Iraq it's rubberized finish turn sticky... not cool in a dust bowl. the 750 is just right. 73 all
I agree and plan to get myself one to keep the next time they are on sale.
Tom
Well Tom, as you know my brand new GRUNDIG SATELLITE 750 came in today. I just re-watched this video and will watch all your SATELLITE 750 videos again tonight just to become reacquainted with this really amazing radio.
Royal
Royal Howard If you have any questions, I will try to answer them but I am no expert.
Thanks Tom, so far so good. It is really pulling in SW signals very well tonight. FM is stellar AM not so much. Air band is as good as any other SW radio I have and better than most. For air I use my scanners anyway, usually my Uniden BCD-396XT. One question, while tuning with your finger on the tuning knob quickly does the knob look as if it's wobbling? Mine does but the knob seems like it's on all the way and tight. Is this just an optical illusion? I would like to see you make a video of this if so. Thanks for your time Tom. Hope I'm not being a pest it's just great having people to share this hobby with.
Royal.
Royal Howard No problem. Yes, if you look closely at the tuning knob while tuning it does appear out of round. All 750's have this some people have replaced the knob.
Thanks, I kinda remember my old 750 doing the same thing but had to see if yours did as well. It is strange because looking at it right now, not touching or tuning, it is dead center in the hole. I have the S350DL (wobbly knob) but never fell off yet in over 5 years. Skipped on the 450 to many bad reviews. And just recently picked up the eton field radio 550 great knob no wobble. I love the 750 more than all my radios currently. And by the way I notice the soft mute more on my TECSUN PL-880 now. The 750 is such a pleasure to tune with compared to the 880. Geez, and you think you ramble on Tom, sorry for this long reply, but I'm excited again like a kid with a new toy. All the very best to you and yours and have a great evening.
Royal.
Royal Howard No problem on rambling. I enjoy interfacing with my viewers. I have the 350, 450 and 750 and the wobble seemed to be less in the newer radios. I have have never had one fall off either. I typically use the keypad to get into the area I want to scan while searching for new stations then use the knob to slowly tune from there. So I do not notice the wobble very much. It is only noticeably when I do fast tuning up and down the band while searching.
Noticed you mentioned the warranty. Although I own the 750 and love it..this comment concerns my S450DLX. The volume pot died leaving me with almost no volume at highest setting. Even though I no longer had the receipt, and the radio was several years old, which I informed Eaton of, they gave me a Return Authorization number, and decided to replace my radio with a brand new one! I did have to pay to ship it to them, but I think that's only fair, and in my opinion, money well spent..about $13.75 for flat rate priority mail through USPS! I'd say that's fantastic customer relations for a 10 year old radio with no proof of purchase! So..by all means..if you experience a problem with your 750, or any Grundig radio..contact Eaton! In my opinion..no better customer service anywhere! Just my 2 cents!
Cheers,
Unkei
+Unkei69 Excellent. Thanks for your report.
Love your videos .I am still watching them. I love my 750 or S2000. Well worth the investment
Thank you and have a great day.
Getting one from Amazon tomorrow! Yeah! (3/31/2021). The one Iḿ getting is called the Eton Elite 750. I have heard the Grundig version like you have is the original version and possibly the best version. Thatś's okay if it is. I have a Grundig Satellite 700 which I purchased new in the late 1990s and it is excellent! I also have an Icom R 75 receiver which is incredible.
The Eton version can be as good or better than the Grundig if you get a good one. It is good that you purchased it from Amazon as it is easy to return if you get a bad one.
Tom - I gotta tell you, as of now you are the only communication station I watch. I have the Hammarlund HQ-129x with the add on Heathkit Q Multiplier Model QF-1 out of Benton Harbor, Michigan. It is in pristine condition with the exception that it petered out on me after maybe five
months of monitoring. I also have the Hammarlund HQ-140X which also does not work. At one time I had these units connected to an A/D sloper antenna 35.3" high and the pieces and what I hear we're a thing of beauty.
I also have a modified DX-394 that truly surprised me along with the DX-398 modded out by the fella before.C.Crane took it over....I think his last name was Justice. I have an extra box of tubes (all working) for the 129 that are "military grade" tubes.....whatever that would mean. I have all the original books and manuals to show how to properly align these pieces to perfection.
I live in the Cincinnati area and been watching your stations is giving me back "the itch." Would you happen to know anyone in SW.Ohio or Northern.Ky. that could brings these Hammar's back to life? It has been close to fifteen years and I sure miss hearing them. Thanks for your channel and all that you contribute.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Nice collection of radios. Sorry, I don't know anyone up that way that repairs these types of radios. Hopefully someone will read your comment and help you. Happy Holidays.
@@hamrad88 Back at you Tom. I'm sure there are many that would do it the right way. Merry Christmas to you and yours!👍
Thanks
BFO needs to be centered and you are correct about the other two. BFO only comes in to play when you are using SSB.
To pull the antenna out safely, grab each lower extension as you pull it out. That way you are pulling on the strongest link as you go. Only pull on the top section until the next section is revealed and so on down to the last two. If needed I can do a short video showing the process.
Be aware, parts are not available from Eton. When it breaks, stops working, the repairs at authorized shops can exceed the original price. The radio becomes disposable...
Geeeeez...life sucks about now WITH Tech..
Hamrad88, I really enjoy your RUclips videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
What im drooling over is ....
I had one of these, bought from radio shack, back in 2011 or so. I think they only made them a year or so after that. I returned it because of ongoing background noise on every band. Regretfully I got a refund for what I paid. I wish instead, I just exchanged it for another one. Cool radio!
Thanks for your comments. Mine is still working great.
I have the Eton model of this, but I understand that the radio can have other logos on it, namably Grundig and Tecsun. My question is "What are the differences among these recievers?"
in memory storage on other videos i have watched i was under the assumption that all you had to do is just punch them in. I am getting one next week. so I will go threw a learning curve. but it can't be any worse that the sajian that I have. three steps to put them in.. so we shall see in the future
Additionally I wanted your opinion on one important thing. I have a strong reservation for things made in China. Even though it is Grundig, a German company having a great name in Radio, Turntable and such technology I found out after your review that this is not originally Grundig. It is now Eton. The company is in US but this Grundig or any other available on eBay , all old products on auction there are made in China only. I will continue on this later
Don't worry. Indonesia is next in line.
I appreciate the part about ATS as it frustrates me even though my radio Tecsun 990 has lots of memory.
Fantastic job going through your opinions of the pluses and minuses of this unit. Just a suggestion… Perhaps before doing your videos, unplug your phone. It sounds distracting and makes the listener want you to tune away a little bit.
Thanks for the review. I was looking to buy this radio.
Marc Lessard You are welcome.
Tom
I need your help please: My new Eton Satellite 750 was delivered yesterday. And while the larger information display is illuminated from each side, I have a hard time seeing the lighting variance that I notice on your Grundig-it actually looks very even, so I’m okay with mine. However, my question deals with the illumination of the signal strength display. It appears that you have two diodes lighting that display, one on each side. Looking at mine, it appears that I also have two diodes, but only the one on the left actually works-so it’s quite dark. My question: Can you please confirm whether there should be one or two diodes illuminating the signal strength meter? Thank you for any help you can provide!
Just checked mine and it has two for the S meter.
@@hamrad88 Great! 😫
I’ve initiated an exchange through Amazon...the new unit should arrive on Sunday. After learning that Eton quality control suffered compare to when Grundig made these radios, I knew that I was taking a chance buying one. Hopefully, the replacement won’t have the same issue. If it does in fact suffer similar issues, or other issues, can you please recommend a competing table top model, even if a few dollars more? Thanks again!
@@dannymcneal Sorry to hear you are having problems. You are correct, all radios from China (and most are from China) have quality control problems. You were smart to order from Amazon with their great return policy. As far as a different brand of TABLE radio, there are none that I would recommend unless you go really high (>$1000) and get something like an ICOM IC-7300. Another option is get a used Grundig but that can turn into a mess. I was lucky I got my Grundig 800 from a local person so I was able to test it first. I hope that the replacement Eton will be good. Good luck and have a great day.
@@hamrad88 - I just pulled the new Eton 750 out of the box and hooked it up. Same issue-the signal strength meter shows only one illuminated diode-the one on the left side. Is it possible that these new Eton radios actually have only one illuminating diode? While I guess that’s possible, it doesn’t make sense, because that little window is already dark as it is, and it really needs two diodes. Perhaps that changed when Eton started making them? Can you please check with any of your amateur radio buddies to see if they know? Thanks! I posed this question to Eton last week, but have not heard back. Thanks again for any help!
I had a 750 for a while and I thought it was a great radio until I got a good SDR. The SDR I got was less than 1/2 the price and it was about this time I understood what a bad deal the 750 was. In performance it does not exceed a PL880 which is far more portable and can be thrown in a suitcase. So I am at a loss to figure out what niche the 750 serves. If you are looking at a 750 you need to figure that out. If you have a good computer, an SDR is the way to go as you can see and hear the stations you hunt. Its a whole new level of DXing that will amaze you too.
excellent review, long, but informative.
Toms radio room your Grundig 7 5o with mw lw fm air ssb SW 6 bands receiver is cool
I think I might buy one. Use an indoor antenna like the diamond shaped one you reviewed. We have so much lighting at times around here so maybe string a wire in the house. I rent this house.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Tom
USE VERY THICK COPPER WIRE GET ,SMALL WHITE TUBEING
PIPE....MAKE A ==============WITH ONE LINE DOWN.SET IT OUTSIDE.
LOOK ON RUclips FOR HANDMADE ANT.2METER...
I just ordered one from Hro! Good post. Thanks!
Let us know how you like it.
@@hamrad88 Ok, I finally got it , (Eton Elite 750) Saturday ! Got it set up with a 30 ft longwire that runs outdoors@ 3 stories up ...Sounds and performs great so far. Sensitivity is high, and it's picking up SW signals as far away as Asia, Africa, pirate stations, SSB hams etc. I really like the look, feel , and design of it ....Only nitpicks I have is the BFO knob requires much patience, and precision when trying to get weak SSB transmissions, but once it's dialed in its good. The Airband doesnt appear to compatible with the squelch that works on other bands....but as a whole, this is a rich sounding, solid, quality made radio. An Eton Rep I spoke with said they have made numerous quality improvements over the past couple years. They tweaked the 750 again in Sept ,2020. On the back of it , it now says Designed and Developed by Eton, Palo Alto , California . According to their support rep, only the cabinet, front end layout design and some internal hardware are carried over from the Grundig 750, and that Eton has reworked and made improvents on it's inner electronics , but didn't go into further detail.
@@rfaradiofreeamerica8392 Thanks for the report. Good to hear that you like your new Eton radio.
I recently discovered that the squelch control works on SW when the RF gain control is not switched to auto.
It makes ATS on SW much more practical.
Yes, this radio has a lot of options.
Tom
Was wondering if that was possible to address that issue. Thanks!
Tom question on ac adapter. Some I am aware create interference with radio, do you have a recommendation on one that does not? What are your thoughts on this? Terry
Your are correct about adapters causing interference. I still have my original power supply and it is working fine. You might try these ANON-CO. I have very good luck with their products. Here is a link to their adapter for the S-2000 which is the same radio. www.anon-co.com/product/tecsun-s2000-power-adapter
I just got one and am enjoying it. Sadly, so many shortwave stations have disappeared over the years, so less to listen to. One weird thing is that useless compartment in the back. Couldn't they have made it a little bigger so you could store the power cord in it?
That compartment was originally design to store the built in power supply's power cord but as I have read it never made it to market.
Tom
I kind of figured something like that. I guess they found they had to use a larger external power supply, which doesn't fit in the compartment.
Great video! Thank you
You are very welcome and Happy New Year.
Check out the RF Gain control. Turn it all the way CCW until you feel it turn off. The 750 now is in AGC (AVC) mode. Yes, it does have automatic level control.
Thanks, that is normally where I leave mine set.
Hi Tom, I received the satellit 750 last week and will install an undetermined length wire antenna outside soon .. my only question is when soldering the center lead of the coax to the wire outside, and bringing the coax inside .. upon soldering the center lead to the bnc connector, do i also attach the shielding to the bnc connector?
Sure do enjoy those train whistles on some of your videos!
Yes, it would be best if you did however I have seen some cases where this made things a little worse. The idea of the coax cable lead-in is to shield the signal the antenna from getting rf noise that is in your house.
Tank you
I hook one of these to my maypole antenna it work great it also has rca jack to hook to stereo for better sound
Thanks for the comment. I use the RCA jack outputs to connect the radio to my computer.
Tom
Thank you for reviewing this. Could you tell me how well this unit works with airline frequencies? Does it require an external roof mounted antenna?
For me and my location and antenna the performance was only fair. If you are interested in airline traffic (VHF), I would suggest you get a scanner radio with those bands. I did a video (#0312) on just that topic recently.
Tom
Excellent! Thank you Tom ... will take a look.
Wonderful Radio features
Let me redo my take on the 750.seems you cant clip an ext antenna to the telescopic antenna.it must have a amp circuit that the ext jack doesn't. Causing alot of overload.useing ext ant hook to the ext jack works alot better. Glad i replaced my volume control.
great video iam going to buy one of these after Christmas, i already own the Grundig S450DX i like it and i want to figure out a better antenna for it,
You will find the 750 so much better than the 450. I have reviewed both.
hamrad88 cool cant wait to pick up the 750 first thing on my list after christmas
Toms radio room I am. Thinking about getting the Tecsun Pl 660. Mw lw fm streo Air SW ssb 6 bands receiver what. Do think let me no
A very good review, thanks!
+Seekthetruth3000 Thanks for the kind words.
the finger know seems to be rare in global receivers
hi tom if you find this message ,,,~ would this equipment in this video be better some how in the future even in 2019 year... for many are buying these at higher prices than ever before. !
If I understand your comment, you asking if this radio has improved over the years. My guess is not in the last 5 or 6 years as it has been replaced by a different model. On the other hand, the value has increased because the quality of the newer radios are in general not as good. Remember, I am not expert.
Hi Tom. Given your (and others) reviews, the Tecsun 660 looks very good - for its price. Is it worth spending the extra money on the Grundig 750 or is the difference in performance marginal enough as not to matter? I want a good entry level receiver.
Your channel is excellent btw - very comprehensive, well done.
As far a reception they are nearly equal but there are many other differences. For instance, 660 is definitely portable where the 750 is not so much. The sound of the bigger 750 is better (to my ears). Big tuning knob on 750 is preferred by me. The 660 has more special features which you may or may not use like the two different auto search methods that the 660 has. This is just of few of the difference.
+hamrad88 Thanks Tom. I think I'll go with the 660 for now. I think I can put up with the small buttons etc. Thanks from little ol' Ireland.
You are very welcome.
One Time Pad
Mark Williams just curious, why did you write that? :) Thanks
I am leery if Eton doesn't carry parts for this radio.
According to Al Washburn's comment below.
You probably will find this true for any newer portable radio.
Tom
They were going for a vintage look... That's why the lights are the way they are.
Hi I can’t get any sound out of my ait’s just stop why can you help?
What is that annoying ticking sound I hear when he is speaking?
I have a small RADIWOW R-108, it's not what I thought I needed... I can pick up radio stations hundreds of miles away, Boston, Philadelphia, New York etc. Im in Virginia. I want a radio ( I welcome suggestions), that can pick up radio stations or people talking from around the world, what am I needing??
There are at least two key things needed. An external antenna. The built-in telescopic antennas on these radios are way too short especially for shortwave which you will hear stations 1000s of miles away. Second, shortwave listening right now it poor due to the solar activity which will be improving this year. As far as AM or MW, again the built-in antenna in this radio is too short. Also, on AM or MW you can only expect to receive stations 100s of miles away not 1000s except in rare occasions. So there are ways to improve the reception on This radio. Just take a look at some of my other shows and have a great day.
You should design your own shortwave receiver. I'm sure it would be the perfect one.
Marc Lessard Maybe a design concept but nothing beyond that from me. :)
Tom I'm curious if you can listen to 2m 70cm bands on the grundig. ?? . Hope you are doing good by the way. I watch your videos from Ireland all the time
Sorry, you can not listen to those bands on the 750.
Tom
Hello and thanks for video. I have the Tecsun S2000 which is the same I think as the Grundig Satellit 7500. Regarding the airband, I have found that I can plug my scanner discone antenna into the FM 50 Ohm external antenna input and receive airband without the use of the telescopic antenna, I don't understand how?. Regarding tilting the radio I have made a 3 ply effort in the shape of a zigzag which the radio sits easily.
The external antenna connection should be for SW/FM and Airband.
@@hamrad88 Thank you for that reply, it does not mention that in the manual which is pretty comprehensive. Thanks.
My 'smart kid' plugged in a higher 12v AC into the 6v adapter and now the radio no longer works. It powers up on batteries. But stuck onto the EXT antenna and would not switch to the INT and no audio. Would you know if this is reparable as a DIY or is there no hope to have it fixed? Any tip to get it to work again welcomed. Would be such a waste of a good radio if I can't fix it I thought.
Sorry to hear that. It is might be repairable.
haven't seen anybody doing such a repair for the power problem tho.
What should I have as an extra antenna? Not getting in much
For shortwave get a MegaLoop+ antennna.
Tom, how can I use the connector to the IF output of 455kHz Tescun S-2000 for use in digital mode, for example, the DRM (Digital Radio Mundiale)?
Sorry, I have never used it.
Tom
thxs good to know
+Shelley Miller You are welcome.
Any idea how to set the alarms so the radio plays a station, instead of white noise? I actually bought one recently from amazon and it's already packed up to get back. When I have the alarm set, for music, instead of playing a station, it plays white noise and of course, the radio instructions only tell you how to set the time and which type of alarm you want. Help! I really want to keep it!
+igotfingeredforit Ok, the first time I tried to program the alarm to come on to music, it did the same thing you mentioned. Second time I had the radio on an FM station (one in memory). I then turned the radio off, programmed the alarm with radio option and it worked fine.
How can I memorize a station and how can I listen to the memorized ones on the Tecssun S2000? Does anyone know thank you all Thank you
Oliveira SP/SP BR Brazil
Here is a link to the owner's manual. www.radiomanual.info/schemi/RX/Grundig_Satellit-750_user.pdf
Thank you for the video. My Satellit 750 does not work at all any more after only 3 years of very light usage. It picks no station at all whatever the band. The needle remains down. No volume. Very disappointed with this radio. Any idea of the cause?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Yes I did but the problem remains.
the engineer has died,look for him he is the dead spider near the signal meter..jeff..
I bought this radio 3 years ago . It worked for less than one year and then suddenly became mute. No sound at all. I was told that it needed sound IC. How can get it?
Sorry for not replying sooner as you message was flagged as SPAM. You can contact the manufacturer. They have a website.
does anyone have a problem with the AC adapter for this radio? the radio only seems to work with batteries, ,a friend also has this problem, both AC adapters that came with do not seem to work with the radio
I have two of these and they both work fine on the original AC adapter. I have heard there are problems using with other adapters.
I have a grunding mini sw radio, Im trying to find number stations. Is it possible to pick up one with a mini? Also are you able tune into UVB-76? that's the station that I want to find. I cant get my mini to 4.625khz.
Shortwave band conditions have been erratic lately due to extreme solar conditions so that may be your problem right now. Also you will probably need an external antenna. Nothing heard on 4.625 right now especially since we are having thunder storms in the area right now.
Tom
to bad the bands are DEAD tom Nothing to listen too want to buy my radio?
I'm totally clueless on this matter. My question: I live in Ohio my daughter is in Arizona what do I need to purchase for her and I if I needed to contact her if the grid went down?
+Shelley Miller For that distance, it would take considerable learning to get a license and expensive equipment. On the other hand, if you could find a HAM (amateur radio operator) with the license and equipment he might be able to contact another HAM near her and pass on the information or make a contact for you. There are many people like this who also work with the Red Cross that could help you. Contact them now before the problem occurs.
100% agree. $400
Where can i find replacement potentiometers (value unknown) for the Squelch, RF gain and the SB BFO controls? The radio is a Eton Grundig Satellit 750 which is the same as Tecsun 2000. Anyone with the schematic diagram please tell me the values. Thank you so much !
Email me at kwalkowski1@wi.rr.com and I'll email you back with all of the info, including a schematic diagram.
Im looking to buy a portable short wave radio for world news emergency.
Looking at this one and the Tecsun pl 880, any other you can recommend.
That is always a tough question as it depends on what feature you need. I like the Sangean ATS-909x too,
I'm finding my 750 is getting better reception 1 or 2 khz on either side of the center frequency. I don't know if this can be fixed or not. Too bad, as it is otherwise a nice machine.
sirdarklust I think there is a way to adjust this. Do a search on the internet for instructions. I will see if I can find it too.
Tom
hamrad88 Thanks, but I spent hours looking on the net and found no remedy. Really too bad, because otherwise it's a decent machine, if a bit cheaply made.
sirdarklust Sorry.
Theres external UKW, use for airband!
This thing is amazing.
Yes, I feel that way too. Don't know how much better the 800 is.
Tom
Yeah I don't know either, but I'm sure it's very expensive.
di d you ever figure out how to store the memory or frequency... stuff.. have you studied tesla early leftover finds... can your get why the question... care for you...
Yes, no, confused.

Bana bu Satellit 750 Radyo hediye edene çok teşekkür edeceğim :D...misafirim olursa ağırlıyacağım...
Sorry, I only read English.
Hey hamead88, I just purchased a Grundig 750, I have discovered it seems to be more susceptible to noise than my ATS-505, both using only internal antenna right next to each other on same SW freq. Do you find this too? Maybe a ground will fit??? Not sure yet.
+2000SkyView Reception on my 505 using the telescopic antenna is poor and therefore there appears to be less noise. The 750 is very sensitive and therefore there appears to be more noise. Both radios work great with external antennas.
+hamrad88 thanks for the reply. Interesting, I'm finding sometimes my 750 performs better and sometimes my 505 does. The noise I get on my 750 sometimes is very irritating for me to listen, I have to shut it off when this happens. gives me a headache -- It is Interesting that the 505 is better when this happens. However, the 505 is not always better, sometimes the 505 reception is horrible, interesting that the 750 then performs well and without the irritating noise. The conditions allow the 750 to perform better than the 505 most of the time so far... Not sure why... I know nothing about radio signals. Thanks for the channel.
+2000SkyView I am guessing the noise on the 750 is probably some local noise and because the 750 is so sensitive it amplifies the noise.
I think you might be correct. I have more than one AM transmitter within 25 miles, and sometimes one of the AM stations even has noise, other times it is very clean.
I did pick up my first ham operators last night on the 750, very nice and clear, the 505 pickup almost nothing, definitely not enough to understand what was being said. Sensitivity of the 750 was nice to have.
NICE WILL THIS DO ALL HF METTERS LIKE 80 40 20 10 HF BAND
Yes
Does the 750 pick up the 2 meter band?
Sorry, no.
Im not talking about the wall wart supplied but a 30 amp power supply. Try putting your hands in your pocket hi hi..
How much are they. I found one at a pawn shop for 250 Canadian.
They have almost doubled in price. Over $400 some places. Mine cost $250 new back in 2013.
What radio has a good ALC auto loudness control ?
That is a good question which means I don't know. Sorry and have a great day.
750,AND,ICOM FRG 100 ARE THE BEST,RADIOS IF YOUR INTO SSB HAM
BANDS.WHEN ITS COLD OUT IS THE BEST SSB
Yes, I wish I had an FRG-7 or 100.

I live in Thailand. Does this work on 220/240 voltage ?
I don't think this particular radio comes with a 220 AC adapter but you probably could find an 220 AC to 6 DC adapter for it. I believe the replacement, Tecsun S-2000 did come with a 220V adapter.
Mine stop playing I get no sound why can you help?
Did you try a Reset? The reset button is located on the left side, below the tuning button. It should only be pressed when it appears
that the radio has stopped working properly. After you press it, the AM station offset must be set again for North America.
@@hamrad88 yea thanks tried reset but it did nothing but blink at me , I found one person in Canada who fixes these I think he’s the only one Wto is nowhere to be found thankseton Erin is nowhere to be found are they still in Businessi think they bought grunting thanksfor your help great video btw still trusting to learn this best too bad I was really starting to like it
What type of antenna are you using thx VE1JXT
G5RV antenna.
@@hamrad88 ok I will grab that one I have a 750 and just moved it out to the country cottage no transformers or much interference I have 125ft to play with so I should be good
I need help, I have this same radio. Suddenly it didn't work and now it just turns on but you can't hear it, it doesn't tune. Anyone know any solution?
Did you try a reset?
@@hamrad88 hi, Yes I did but it doesn't work. One day someone unplugged it and it seems that I generate a problem, from there I don't hear anymore ... just turn on the light and make a beep. thanks
Sorry that did not help.
Did Grundig quit making the Satellite 750 radio?
Eton has taken over the 750. Basically the same radio with their name on it.
all these radios are made by tecsun,grundig or as i say grunty pig, have not made any radios since the year zero
the Grundig is made by tecsun
Tom, when are you going to compare the 750 to the new 880??? thanks
Unfortunately my 880 was an early model and had several major design problems which have been documented elsewhere on the internet. I will wait and see if they fix these problems before purchasing another one. I hope these problems are correct because I think it will be a great radio.

you don't think the 880 problem was fixed by the new firmware 8820???
From what I have read in the user groups, it is better with 8820 but still not totally fixed.
Hay I went ahead and picked one up as the reviews I found seemed to think the issues were fixed with the 8820, and Iv done some testing and adjusting and its the best thing since popcorn, if your interested I can let you know what I have found.
Keep us posted on your experiences with the new firmware. I have read that it fixed some of the major problems but not all. I am on the side waiting for a major revision including an update to the options no printed on the keypad in present models and which are not documented. I suggest you join on of the Users groups to find out all the features that are hidden for now but kinda work.

Hey Tom, what's your impression of the Sangean ats909x, and the ccrane sw? Dave kk4nil
I love the display on the 909 and have not tried the CCrane radios. See my shows on the 909.

left Crane some time ago and started his own company-Radio Labs. Said that Cranowes him roughly 750 thousand dollars for royaltys and such! It was an interesting conversation! Dave hamrad88 Good morning Tom! There is a place called Radio Labs that does mods. on the 909x. They change the filters and a few other things that's supposed to really tighten it up. I had a question about my 909x and called them yesterday. I spoke to a fellow named Chris Justice. Turns out he was the chief radio engineer for Bob Crane. He said he designed the CCrane am/fm radio as well as invented the twin coil ferrite antenna, for which he holds the patent. He
Dave Davis Thank you for the information.

How much is that radio?
Prices vary a lot. $275 to $325.
HEY YOU GUYS
Hey, Tony.
I want to win the small grundig. Please put me in for it. Thanks.
Sorry. Don't do giveaways any more.
*Приемник дерьмо! Щас специально провел сравнение. Частота 7.100 LSB. Антенна диполь. Трансивер icom 7000 ловит сигнал а Грюндик молчит! Как это обьяснить?*
Dont use this radio near your power supply on ssb. Distorts ssb badly .
+Jim- Hamradio Have not had that problem.
2013
Not much in the manual at all
Youre too picky.
That thing is an expensive piece of junk.
