Power supply, accessories, semiconductor, development, further information, grundig yacht boy 700.

Manufactured by Grundig, Fürth .

In the same year, when Grundig presented the first portable receiver with a PLL synthesized tuner, the Satellit 300 , which got a few negative reports because of poor sensitivity and selectivity, Grundig brought out a single conversion superhet with digital frequency counter. This travel radio was slightly smaller and cheaper then the junior „Satellit 300“ and became more successful.

• 270 x 170 x 55 mm, weight 1.7 kg

The Grundig Yacht Boy 700 is a portable multiband radio with an integrated frequency counter to display the operation frequency. With it's dimensions of 28 x 17 x 6 cm and a weight of 1,4 kg (without batteries), it is still quite well suited for travel use.

The Yacht Boy 700 was the top of the range set of the early Grundig travel portables series with analog bandspread dials for several shortwave bands. In contrast to the „little brothers“, it comes with a digital frequency display and even two IF bandwidths and a BFO .

The set is powered by five UM-2 batteries / baby cells for the radio and an additional UM-3 / AA clock battery, but there is also an integrated power supply that can be switched to 110 and 220 V mains. The antenne is a flexible / rotating telescopic antenna, the set has no external antenna connector.

The set covers VHF / FM boadcast band, long- and mediumwaves and the shortwave band from 1,6 - 26 MHz in five ranges (1,6 - 4,8 / 4,3 - 7,2 / 6,8 - 10,3 / 9,8 - 15,5 / 14,5 - 20,5 and 19,5 - 26,1 MHz ).

At the left part of the front panel, you find the big speaker grille.

In the upper part of the right half of the front panel, the signal strength meter, the time / frequency LCD display and the switch and pushbuttons to set the clock and alarm times are located.

Just below, there are the slide controls for volume and tone, the switches for the two IF bandwidths and the switchable 5 kHz - audio frequency filter and the BFO, at the right a slider switch to select the six shortwave segments and pushbuttons for the SW / MW / LW / FM bands and on/off. The main tuning knob and an additional fine tuning control are located at the right face of the cabinet.

The sensitivity of the Yacht Boy 700 on shortwaves is fair - good, the set is well suited to receive signals from the international shortwave broadcasters and you can even pick up some tropical band signals and some strong amateur radio signals with the BFO switched on.

The most useful feature is the LCD frequency display, which does a very good job to find a station on a certain frequency.

The set has a conventional design with a single conversion superhet circuitry connected to a frequency counter - it has some problems with mirrors due to the 468 kHz intermediate frequency, but in contrast to the Satellit 300, the receiver is quite silent, no synthesizer hiss.

As the Yacht Boy 700 was well priced and offered similar or better performance then Grundig's first digital Satellit 300, it was the one to go for, when you could live without frequency memories.

The Grundig Yacht Boy 700 still makes a fine radio for travelling by car (you would take a lighter set on an airplane, would you…) or for easy listening in the kitchen or the workshop. With the built in frequency display and a clock, it has the most interesting items for a useable shortwave radio. It is interesting that the radio comes with two bandwidths and a separate switchable 5 kHz AF filter, in the earlier Satellit sets you have the same options (two IF bandwidths and an AF filter) switched by the three step bandwidth switch. But in conclusion, the Grundig Yacht Boy 700 is to be considered as collector's item; get one, if you can find one for a few Euros at an online auction.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE below.

What is the difference between FM and AM?

FM stands for Frequency Modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation. The biggest difference between FM radio stations compared to AM radio stations is the sound quality.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

How can I best clean my radio?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

What is bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a way of exchanging data wirelessly between electronic devices via radio waves. The distance between the two devices that exchange data can in most cases be no more than ten metres.

How do I change the station on my Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE?

To change the station, simply use the tuning knob located on the front of the radio. Rotate it gently to tune in to your desired station.

How do I improve the quality of the radio reception?

To improve radio reception, extend the FM/SW antenna to its full length and adjust its position until you achieve clear reception. For AM/MW, try adjusting the radio's position or moving it closer to a window or outside area.

How do I set the alarm on my radio?

To set the alarm, press the "Alarm Set" button and use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired alarm time. Press the "Alarm On/Off" button to activate the alarm function.

How do I adjust the volume on my Yacht Boy 400 PE?

Adjusting the volume is quite simple. Use the volume control knob located on the side of the radio to increase or decrease the sound level according to your preference.

How can I power my radio using batteries?

The Yacht Boy 400 PE can be powered by four AA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the radio, insert the batteries with the correct polarity, and close the compartment securely. Make sure to always use fresh batteries for optimal performance.

Grundig Yacht-Boy 400

Portable World Receiver (1981)

Grundig Radios

This radio is relatively good sounding for the size and has good AM and FM reception. The sound is not as good as on the older, bigger Satellites or Yacht Boys, though. The tone switch is not always sufficient to adjust for a balanced sound. Usually it sounds good with the tone switch in high position on FM, low on AM. I did not check the stereo FM capabilities via headphones. Unfortunately the station memory loses all stations when batteries are removed. It may keep them for some minutes while replacing batteries. But, as the radio drains the batteries within months of non use, you will end up with an empty memory. That battery drain is not acceptable. For a radio, supposed to be used on a vacation or other occasional events, this is the weakest spot of this radio. The cabinet feels cheap and is a little squeaky when twisted/moved. Other than that, not a bad radio. SSB is a nice feature. This radio is nice for a vacation, but not really useable as an everyday solution.
