Grundig Satellit 3400 Professional 1979

Grundig Satellit 3400 Professional , 1978 - 1982

The Satellit 3400 Professional only has few upgrades from the Satellit 3000. For the design alone, the (older) Satellit 3000 Digital looked more within the traditional Grundig Satellit styling. The Satellit 3400 Professional looks more "modern" and sharp , in tune with other popular designs of the time.

In addition to the black version ,a brown-colored version was introduced later in the production.

The Satellit 3400 (like the S3000) has integrated controls for SSB-reception.

Sensivity for the AM-tuner is 1,5uV,

Selectivity (at -6/-60dB) is 2,5/4,8 and 7,2/13,6KHz respectively.

At 52x 32x 14 cm (WxHxD) this is a massive portable ,weighing in at 8,9 Kg(!) without batteries.

On the front / left is the large loadspeaker grille. In the middle , a large S-meter / fancy LCD clock / and digital frequency display. The digital display is very comfortable to watch , with large ,red characters.

On the front/right you find all tree horizontal tuning scales.

The radio has more than 40 controls , of which many are multi-funtion.

This is a very special radio , both for it's massive apparance and for the refined operating controls.

There's not much to tell about that legendary radio, since everyone, who is into DXing, knows it. Just a few words: It was built from 1978 to 1982 and marked the top and the end of the traditional Grundig Satellit line. With its full SW range from 1.6 to 30 MHz, split up into 18 bands (including the streched 49m, 41m, 31m, 25m, 19m, 16m, 13m and 11m bands), its excellent FM reception with six programmeable stations and its digital frequency counter, it was certainly one of the most elaborated portable world receivers ever built. Its fantastic NF amplifier still generates astonishment, since SW and MW sound better than most plastic FM receivers of today. Almost 9 kilogramms weight on the handle, many knobs, switches and scales are adding, too.
