Value Rating star: 

This review was compiled independently. The Medium Wave Circle and Radio Netherlands has no financial connection with R.L. Drake, the manufacturer of this receiver.

Reviewers: Jonathan Marks, Diana Janssen, and Willem Bos.

The Yacht Boy 400 was launched at the end of 1993 in North America. In fact at £105 across Europe, the Yacht Boy 400 turns out to be a great value package. Our example is clearly made for Grundig in the Peoples’ Republic of China. Grundig has designed the unit and supervised the quality control. The Yacht Boy 400 looks like many travel portables. At 180 by 120 by 37 millimetres, the set is about the size of a paperback book, it works off six penlight batteries and weighs 708 grams with batteries.

Despite a rather clumsy instruction booklet literally translated from German, if you practice a little, the Yacht Boy 400 is extremely easy to use. You simply tap in the desired frequency and press a button. Two buttons allow you to shuttle up and down the dial and on shortwave you can flip between 5 kHz steps and 1 kHz. The radio offers two bandwidths, and both filters have a good shape factor for a portable radio. The speaker is closely matched to the cabinet, so the radio sounds much richer and fuller than competing sets from Japan.

The radio turns out to be sensitive, without serious problems of overloading here in Europe. You can store up 40 stations in the memory and using a separate set of up-down buttons you can flip through the active memory channels with ease. Like most radios, the set will scan through the dial stopping at stronger, listenable signals.

Clearly some compromises have had to be made to keep the price down. You can receive signal sideband using the radio, but clarification of either the upper or lower sideband is by means of a thumbwheel rather than the push of a button. The radio also has no synchronous detection, but the sharp bandwidth filters in Grundig, which come out at 5.5 and 3 kHz at -6dB, are a strong plus point.

FM coverage is between 87.5 and 108 MHz, with stereo possible if you connect the pair of earphones. The sensitivity on FM is about right for Europe… may be a little too sensitive for cities in North America where the FM dial is crowded. You can connect an external antenna for areas where shortwave signals are relatively weak. The radio is supplied with a washing-line antenna, though you don’t really need it in Europe. The dial light can be illuminated for bed-side listening, the set has two clocks for keeping track of both local time and UTC and a recessed lock switch to prevent accidental battery drain when the radio is put in a suitcase. We got just over 20 hours of listening from a fresh set of alkaline batteries, listening for periods of an hour a day. That’s not bad, but running the set off the mains is a lot cheaper. A mains power supply is not included as part of the package though.

In short, Grundig has made a superb portable. They would do well to re-write the instruction manual and supply more up to date schedule information… the one packed with our radio was clearly compiled nearly four years ago. Overall, this set is a good value, and it sounds very good.

The Grundig Yacht Boy 400 won the 1994 World Radio TV Handbook Industry Award for Best Shortwave Portable.

In North America, Lextronix released the titanium-coloured finish YB-400PE (Professional Edition) in the fourth quarter of 1998. Electrically, there is no difference between the YB-400 and YB-400PE. A Grundig-brand AC adapter is included, as are stereo ear plugs, wind-up antenna, a re-written owners manual and vinyl carry case. The out-of-date schedule information has been dropped in lieu of sources of information on broadcasters and schedules.

Grundig Yacht Boy 210

The Yacht Boy 210 (also written Yacht-Boy 210) was a vintage radio manufactured by the Grundig Corporation. It is a 4-band radio with FM/VHF, SW, MW, and LW coverage and has an integrated telescopic aerial for the VHF band and ferrite rod for the remaining bands. The circuitry has ten transistors and eight diodes with current consumption of 50 mA at 9 V. For the power supply, it requires six 1.5 V dry cells providing approximately 160-hours operation; however for mains operation it requires the TN 5 or TN 12 power pack. The loudspeaker is a 4 Ω dynamic superphon type with high-efficiency magnet, and the audio power output is 2-watts. The dimensions of this radio are 39 cm × 24 cm × 12 cm, and mass 4.4 kg.

Looking at the circuit diagram, and the IF stages, local oscillator circuit, and heterodyne mixer stage, I always marvel at the wonderful electronic engineering employed in Grundig radios. These radios were so well designed, engineered, and manufactured that even today they are highly desirable by collectors.

The audio output stage consists of a pair of transistors (AC187K and AC188K) in a push-pull arrangement, with a 1000 µF capacitor (C660) at the output. Consequently the sound quality through the superphon loudspeaker is very good. This radio has some wonderful features such as:

• Illuminated dial
• Dial markers and station designations
• Tape recorder connection
• Record player connection
• Tone control
• Loudspeaker/earphone socket
• Battery check meter

These radios are usually for sale on eBay and there is almost always a huge amount of interest on them. A complete unit in mint condition with its original packaging and box could fetch well over one hundred pounds on a good day. However a working unit with issues such as missing knobs, broken aerial, and scratches would be worth around fifty pounds. A completely broken and non-working unit in bad condition would not be worth much as repairing these radios is time-consuming. If you are looking to buy one, then make sure it has the power supply pack fitted as vintage replacement parts are difficult to find and usually very expensive.

• Features : digital clock, timer
• Sensitivity : AM (A3) / Selectivity : two IF bandwidths
• Mains : 110, 220 V
• Batteries : 4 x 1,5 V ( UM-2 ), 1 x 1,5 V ( UM-3 ) for digital clock
• 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.

Technical principle

Single conversion superhet, digital frequency counter
