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.

| I'm actually on my third YB400. First two succumbed to hard drops on concrete by other people.....long story. These receivers were great company to me for many years while I travelled out of town during the week. I have also taken them with me to the Caribbean and Florida while on vacation. Coolest experience with my YB400 was while in Aruba I was monitoring an Aruba station working the CQWPX CW contest and actually heard my station back in Illinois work him which I was controlling remotely via TeamViewer and Pignology K3ui. I still regularly drag it out onto the patio while I'm grilling dinner. My Grandfather got me interested in SWLing. I think he would have been very fond of this receiver. | |||

| It works just fine | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| One of my very first 'modern', contemporary manufactured SW receivers, purchased waaaay back in the early '90s, this little guy worked and works just fine for its price point, and even more so for its much lower resale prices. It was the first receiver I used with a dedicated SSB mode and though it was touchy, I was able to use it pretty well very quickly, and I don't recall it getting too drifty most of the time. Certainly, having long since used much better and pricier receivers, I now consider the YB400's SSB to be worse than mediocre, but not worse than its average used price would promise. FM sounded nice for such a little radio, and MW/SW AM signals were clear and mostly crisp and intelligible, no worse than on most portables of its size and retail point. In fact it sounded better than the Tecsun 600 I had for a while (which certainly had better SSB but was still not great). It's not a powerhouse performer, it's not even a decent DX machine, but it's just fine for SW b'cast listening, AM/FM bands and if you don't mind twiddling with a little finesse and patience, amateur SSB can be enjoyed to some extent, too. Certainly performs well for its current price range. | |||

| Three Thumbs Up | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| I've had three of these including a silver PE for many years and they work great. Bought 'em all used for very little $. Performance to price ratio is high. Now they aren't meant to compete with high priced pro-grade receivers so one must adjust his/her expectations accordingly. | |||

| OK Choice if SSB not required | Time Owned: 0 to 3 months. | ||
| This review is for the almost identical G4000A. I also own an E5,7600GR, and KA1103, so this review will focus on where the G4000A falls short or exceeds these models. Pros: *Sensitivity/Selectivity on SW/BCB/FM matches or exceeds the previously mentioned models. *Sound from the built in speaker is richer and fuller. *Has a non-radio (beep) alarm with snooze *Push button frequency step control. (7600GR also has additional buttons for same function.) *Memory system is easy to set and use. (but only 40 presets.) *Volume control feels smooth and is easy to set anywhere from silent to loud. Cons: *SSB *SSB *Did I mention SSB? CW was a warbled mess, and SSB voice took forever to tune in a signal that was easy on the other radios, to only halfway intelligible on the G4000A. For an SSB radio I'd rate it 1/5 if I was being generous. * Overall Control quality. The buttons and switches feel sloppy and cheap compared to the other radios. They work, but don't inspire confidence. * requires 6 rather than 4 batteries. So... Buy this radio if you are looking for BCB/SW unit to put on your nightstand with a beep alarm, and use a few memories. Do not buy this radio if you want to monitor SSB/CW ham transmissions, if you plan to operate mainly on batteries, or have hundreds of presets. | |||

| Bought mine in 1994 | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| I guess I'd give my YB400 a 5 just because I've been using it almost daily for 15 years and it has served me well. Whether at home, in a motel room or in a tent while camping I've listened to the bands nearly every night. It absolutly isn't the best receiver I own but it is the most versatile and I can always find something to listen to on it. I bet I'm still listening to it 15 years from now too! | |||

| Good general use portable | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| I've owned mine for seven years. This radio has very good sounding audio. Not particularly good for surfing the bands because of the push button tuning and it's annoying to tune with headphones on. But for casual BCB on SW/AM/FM it's a good radio. Headphone L/R channels aren't balanced in my set until the volume is turned up high then it's too loud, so I have a little in-line volume control to compensate for it. Overall a good general use portable radio. Doug NG0K | |||

| Very Nice | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| I have had my Yachtboy 400 since 2003; bought refurbished from Universal Radio for $99.00. I have used this radio at home and camping, with internal and external antennas, on MW, FM and SW bands; this radio has been great. It performs well beyond the expectations of a $99.00 radio. It's actually built in a manner that makes portability easy and safe for the radio. The earbuds, external antenna and carrying case included with the radio made the purchase even better. The radio is great in every aspect with only a few exceptions. The audio is terrible with the built-in speaker. I use an external speaker with the headphone jack and it sounds much better. I am not too fond of the battery level monitor that shuts the radio off when it thinks the batteries are low. Other than those two things the radio is a keeper even at full MSRP. | |||

| I like this little beast! | Time Owned: more than 12 months. | ||
| I have been a swl for 53 years and have owned many radios from 1926 models to present. I got my YB400pe 3 years ago and really enjoy it. Paid 149 at Radio Shack and it's worth every penny.Remember, it's not a 2 grand tabletop! I would never consider Degens or Kaitos because of a huge gap in coverage. This radio looks great and construction quality is good but not great. Refurbished units can be had for about 99 yankee dollars. Get one--you will like it. | |||

| Hello All, I have used several portable radios in it's class and must say although the Grundig 400 is discontinued you can still find them on Ebay for reasonable prices. I have used the KAITO 1103,SONY 7600GR and now have the G4000A which is just like the 400PE but with a leather case. I liked the KAITO but it had a VERY SENSITIVE front end and NON CONTINUOUS tuning across the entire spectrum of the shortwave bands. Although the Kaito 1103 charges it's batteries inside the unit it takes at least 12 hours and while charging the charger/adaptor introduces a nice "BUZZ" all over the bands. The Sony 7600GR is nice but doesn't come with an AC power adaptor,no Signal strength meter and not as good sound from it's speaker. Is it really worth the Sync detection to sacrifice those? For those who like to use a portable SW radio with AA batteries just go to your local Best Buy and buy those Energizer rechargable batteries that come with a charger. They charge in 15 minutes in this charger unlike the 12 hours in the Kaito. I will list the Pros and Cons of the YB 400 as I see them.. PROS- 1.EXCELLENT sound from it's built in Speaker 2.Good reception across all the bands 3.Simple tuning and no band switching needed when tuning across the entire SW spectrum like the Kaito 1103 4.SIMPLE memory operation(No goofy pages to use) 5.Memory Tuning,Direct Entry,and auto tuning built in 6.Radio when new comes with manual,real antenna,and power adaptor. 7.Signal Strength Meter 8.Two times 9.Sleep timer 10.Good SSB reception,just takes a little patience 11.unlike the KAITO 1103 this guy has a DEDICATED volume knob,the Kaito you had to hit a button and then adjust the volume! Even with the New G5(I have not had) apparently does NOT have a volume knob,you have to adjust the volume with buttons! 12.well layed out keypad 13.Alarm clock to wake up to radio 14.Good location of the "LIGHT" and "Snooze" button. 15.EXCELLENT SENSITIVITY 16.EXCELLENT SELECTIVITY CONS: 1.a little large for a portable these days 2.No Sync detection 3.No Dedicated LSB/USB like the SONY 7600GR 4.No Tuning Knob. 5.Display light won't "stay on" but bright enough to see what your tuning in the dark. Light will stay on for 10 seconds and go off. If you tune the radio while the light is on by letting go of a button and then pressing the same button you originally pressed or another one in the ten second window the light will stay on.However if you are HOLDING DOWN a button while the light is on the light will go off in 10 seconds so if you want to have the light stay on you have to let go of the button and push it again in the 10 second window for it to stay on OR tap the light on button. Don't let the poor reviews fool you. I consider this radio to be a favorite of mine and for me it's a little better then the SONY 7600GR I liked the Sony but if you want to jog through more then 10 memories you have to change pages,the sound is FAIR at best from it's built in speaker and no signal strength meter. It is a good radio though but I think you get more bang for the buck with a used Grundig 400. | |||

InhaltsverzeichnisPower supply, accessories, semiconductor, development, further information, grundig yacht boy 700. Manufactured by Grundig, Fürth . In the same year, when Grundig presented the first portable receiver with a PLL synthesized tuner, the Satellit 300 , which got a few negative reports because of poor sensitivity and selectivity, Grundig brought out a single conversion superhet with digital frequency counter. This travel radio was slightly smaller and cheaper then the junior „Satellit 300“ and became more successful. Technical data
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 principleSingle conversion superhet, digital frequency counter The unit is equipped with semiconductors. Technical documentationThe Yacht Boy 700 was developed by Grundig, Fürth and manufactured in Singapore.

I loved listening to the licenced amateurs too. There were some good pirates as well. European music radio (EMR) and the very interesting Radio Fax. The 49 metre shortwave band is where I came across RNI for the first time on 6.10Mhz and later 6.205 Mhz, whilst cleaning the band switches on a Grundig yacht boy.
