- The air band is all but useless.

I would agree especially when you can only tune-in
one Frequency at a time.  Most scanners will do a
much better job by covering several Frequencies.

- I would trade it for true usb and lsb and finer tuning resolution.

Me Too !

- Now that the devil has shown himself in the details it is
- clear there are way too many unanswered questions
- about either the domestic or export version of this radio
- to get very excited.

Well the Grundig Satellit 750 Radio is most likely the 'major'
new Portable AM/FM Shortwave Radio for the North American
Consumer Market in 2008.

At the $300 Price Point and with all of it's features the Grundig
Satellit 750 Radio will be the "Got-To-Have-It" NEW Radio for
My-Radio-Shack by many Shortwave Radio Listeners in 2008.
