I still do occasionally, I have a couple Grundig radios a YB500 and a Satellit 700.

Thanks, Paul, for sharing.
I have worked for Grundig in Mozambique as well at JFS company (Joao Ferreira dos Santos), a very well respected holding company even after Mozambique independence in 1975.

Grundig was very strong as a brand, with excellent products at the time.
The YB500 and the Satellit 700 are newer generations. In my time most systems were basically analog, no digital PLL's or fancy digital dials.
I remember very well the Satellit 6001 (I still have one in my possession), despite being a consumer oriented product, it was a very strong competitor at the amateur radio as well.
