Grundig Satellit 700

The Grundig Satellit 700 is a portable shortwave receiver that, according to QSL.net, replaced the Satellit 6000 in Grundig's lineup. That's the only lineage claim on record. No production years, original price, dimensions or weight have survived in the sources consulted. Nearly everything else comes from one enthusiast listing. It's a 100% analog portable with single-knob tuning, covering LW (150-285 kHz), MW (530-1600 kHz), shortwave (0.285-30 MHz) and VHF/FM (87.5-108 MHz). It has an S-meter/field strength meter, an LCD frequency display and a built-in 4″ speaker, and it runs on 6-V DC. The same source calls the build a "basic plastic box." That's a judgment call, and the only reception note on record. An Audiophile review from the period called the Satellit 700 one of the best dedicated portable radios available (Audiophile, p.33).

RadioMuseum.org confirms the model exists as a multi-band radio, though its full spec block wasn't captured in the research. No performance figures are documented anywhere in the available material. That means no sensitivity, no selectivity and no audio output.
