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.

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 – Low Cost DRM Mod

Introduction

In this document we present a modification to the Grundig YB400 short-wave receiver to make it suitable for DRM down-frequency conversion. As we do not have schematics of this receiver, we have been forced to make tests by ourselves… and four receivers later we have achieved a suitable modification which has been able to decode a -87 dBm channel power signal.

This receiver adaptation allows a low cost solution (about for DRM reception. The output signal can be decoded by a software receiver which gets it from the sound card line input.

Receiver Modification

The modification consists in the following three steps:

∙ Get a 455 KHz IF signal with a bandwidth greater than 10 KHz, tuned to the desired RF channel.

∙ Down-convert it to a 12 KHz IF signal.

∙ Amplify this last signal.

The desired 455 KHz IF signal can be found in the pad remarked in figure 1.

Figure 1. 455 KHz IF output (without filtering).

It must be taken into account that the signal level at this point is not affected by the AGC (Automatic Gain Control), so it will not be very powerful. We are working it out by now but, for the moment, an audio amplifier at the output does the work. This will be explained later.

This frequency is set to be 455 KHz although it could be shipped with a centering error. We have found it to be as big as 300 Hz in one model. This can be solved just by adjusting a resonator blue marked in figure 2.

Another important fact about this signal bandwidth is that it is only limited by the RF and IF1 (55.85 MHz) filters, which is quite wide (a 50 KHz BW was measured). The effects of this greater bandwidth are a noise increment and the appearance of the image frequency (current transmissions are isolated enough to avoid this last one). A simple filter design will be presented soon, for the moment an unfiltered signal is still suitable.

The last fact relating to this filter is that it may have not been correctly tuned in the manufacturing process, causing an asymmetric response. This does not have a visible effect in the base band AM signal (aside from a Signal to Noise Ratio reduction), but it has for the 12 KHz DRM output. This effect can be solved just by tuning a couple of resonators while monitoring it in a spectrum analyzer. These two points are red marked in the following figure:

Figure 2. IF filter tuning.

The second step, the down-conversion to a 12 KHz IF, has been solved using the 467 KHz mixer used in the other receivers modifications presented in this site. This output would suffice for the line input of the sound card, but without the AGC working an extra powering is needed.
