ONE OF THE GREATEST SW PORTABLES : GRUNDIG SATELLIT 500

During the late 80s and early 90s, the craze for shortwave portable radios was at its height and sets like the Sony ICF 2001D and the Panasonic B65 were good examples of this. This set the GRUNDIG SATELLIT 500 was a another classic example of such sets. Essentially, a competitor to the aforementioned Sony, it was a good set in its own right. It was sensitive, selective and had that great GRUNDIG deep sound. It was attractive to look at and has inspired other radios. Amongst Its shortcomings was the lack of a proper synchronous detector and its rather clunky tuning. Nevertheless, it was a popular radio in its day and is still highly regarded. For this video, I have recorded the 500 receiving: WMLK Penn. USA on 15150, CLASSIC FM UK on 100.10 FM, BBC RADIO SCOTLAND on 810 MW and BBC RADIO 4 on 198 LW. These were monitored indoors here in Dundee, Scotland around 12.30 using only the 500s own aerials and gives a good idea of the set's sensitivity and audio quality. 73 and GDX to you all.
