This post is targeted to anyone considering the purchase of a Grundig Satellit 750. I have a little Grundig am/fm/sw portable with one. I live in an apartment. Grundig satellite 7. I do have a grundig satellite 7. But I live in Australia I did connected with the wrong voltage, and I did melted the micro- chip.
Many thanks to and a number of other SWLing Post contributors who’ve noted that Universal offers the following explanation on their product page: UPDATE: 11/21/17 Eton-Grundig has informed us the Satellit 750 is currently not available. They cannot provide an availability date. We are not taking orders at this time. I’ve also noted that the ‘750 is no longer. It does appear, but no doubt they will eventually deplete their stock.
The ‘750 is sold at a number of other retailers–simply search the model number in your favorite search engine and you’ll likely find retailers with remaining stock. So it does appear the Grundig Satellit 750 may be discontinued. If so, it’s certainly had a long product life. ↓ • kenny i had a grundig satilit 750 for a while, i noticed the big VFO knob would not scroll through the frequencies normally and would just start showing random numbers on the LCD like it was confused or crazy, it frustrated me enough that i eventually tossed the radio in a donation bin at the salvation army and refused to buy anymore grundig shortwaves, eton owns them now and has them built in china and the quality is getting poor on portables from china, and sangean is not much better, the tecsun is about on par with sangean which makes them usable but cheap.
↓ • Troy Riedel: I live in an area that will not allow me to raise a longwire antenna. Does the Grundig Satellit 750 have the ability to use a loop antenna with a proper antenna connection using this radio? I will need to find some insulation for the energy-efficient windows I have on this house too, since drilling into them for an antenna wire will void their warranty. Any suggestions. I want a good desktop unit, and if it works I will construct a software-based shortwave unit from a spare computer I have. Let me know what you might suggest if you could.

If I switch on the lamp, I get a burst of static out of the speaker. How To Install Romance Of The Three Kingdoms X there. Same thing happens if I rotate the external Ferrite antenna -and then it often loses contact.
Mine is a later model, and I admit I love to use it – why couldn’t they build it with better quality – If it could match my Tecsun 880, for example, I would be happy! Had mine hooked up to a 60 Ft wire – The station I was listening to had some pretty bad fading. Connected the same antenna to my Yaesu FT-817 and the fading almost disappeared! ↓ • I’ve always liked the BNC antenna ports on this radio, the rotatable ferrite MW antenna, and the overall look of this radio. Somehow though I just never could quite shell out the $300+ for it when other radios with comparable performance like the Tecsun 660 are less than half the price. Those antenna ports almost won me over on several occasions however. It would look good piped into my living room stereo, way more finished than the little portables I usually plug in to dial up the remaining SW music shows out there.
