====== (Grundig USA) Satellit 800 ======
**Satellit 800** by Grundig USA, resp. Etón / Lextronix; developed by Lextronix, manufactured by Tecsun in China.

As a successor in the tradition of the German shortwave receiver [[Satellit 650]], Grundig USA / Etón developed a set in cooperation with the development team of [[R.L.Drake]], which is technically closely related to the [[Drake]] [[SW-8]], but with the typical [[Satellit 650]] look.

In the USA the set was sold as Grundig (USA) **Satellit 800**, due to trademark problems in the rest of the world as Etón Satellit 800 and in China and Asia as Tecsun HAM-2000.

===== Operation =====
The **"Satellit 800"** was sold by Grundig USA under the brand name [[Grundig]], for trademark reasons outside the USA as Etón Satellit 800 and in China and Asia as Tecsun HAM-2000.

In terms of design, the set is modelled on the German-made Grundig [[Satellit 650]], but the innards have nothing to do with German engineering. The set is technically closely related to the [[Drake]] [[SW-8]], the development engineers of [[Drake|R.L.Drake]] supported Lextronix / Etón in the development of the "Satellit 800".

So it is not surprising that the set has solid reception characteristics on shortwave and stable [[SSB]] reception. 

===== Technical principle =====
Double conversion, PLL frequency synthesis.

==== Components ====
The set is equipped with semiconductors.
