It's pure nostalgia. Today, when podcasts and video streams from the other side of the world are streaming over the internet, no one cares about the experience of listening to radio on shortwave. Only ships at sea and guerrilla soldiers in Africa have shortwave transmitters as an emergency means of communication.

Grundig was one 👌 of the BEST radios. If I'm not mistaken, they're German, and German radios were amongst some of the best. Even with these radios being plastic, they were GREAT 👍. A lot of these radios were wood 🪵, which was best. They even had a schematic diagram inside the cabinet of the radio. This often helped the owner restring the dial cord, as well as replace burned out vacuum tubes and capacitors. Your friend, Jeff.

I like the styling of "Satellit 2100", on the front of the radio 📻, but I don't know 😕 if id like it's sensitivity numbers. It may operate satisfactorily on Shortwave. Please tell me in a future video 📹, or drop me a comment on this one. Again, your friend, Jeff.

Quaint, especially since my ," Tecsun Pl 990," has over 3100 presets.
