====== Grundig Portable Receivers ======
Shortly after the Second World War, [[Grundig]] in Fürth started the production of home radios. After an enormous expansion in the 1950s, [[Grundig]] introduced the Grundig [[Satellit 205]], the first world receiver in Grundig's typical portable radio format, in 1964. The double conversion set [[Satellit 208]] (1967-68) and the somewhat improved [[Satellit 210|210]] followed (1969-71), each had 8 eight spread broadcast bands in the respective general coverage range, SSB reception was possible only with an external BFO. The [[Satellit 1000]] (1972-73) and its successor [[Satellit 2000]] (1973-75) with the horizontal arrangement of the turret tuner and bandspreading scales were only slightly modified electrically and were characterised by the built-in power supply unit and a generously dimensioned AF section. With the [[Satellit 2100]] (1976-79), modern silicon transistors were used and the unit was equipped with rotary sound controls. Fundamental changes were made in the [[Satellit 3000]] (1977-78) which featured a permanently installed SSB section and a digital frequency counter as well as 6 VHF fixed station pushbuttons, the changes to the [[Satellit 3400]] (1978-82) were almost purely cosmetic.

The [[Satellit 1400]] (1979-82) and the model [[Satellit 2400|2400]] with VHF stereo reception (1979-82) came without a turret tuner but had an integrated digital frequency counter.

The only single conversion set in the satellite series was the [[satellit_300]] (1983-85), which used PLL synthesis and was much more compact & lighter than its predecessors, but offered disappointing performance on the shortwave bands. It was soon followed by the [[Satellit 400]] in very similar appearance but with double conversion technology (1986-89), followed by the then flagship set, the [[Satellit 600]] (1983-85)/ [[Satellit 650|650 prof.]] (1986-91) with PLL synthesis, microprocessor control and, as an innovation, an automatic  motorised or manually tunable preselector; after a frequency is keyed in, the preselector pointer rushes to the correct scale point as if moved by magic. The series was extended with the [[Satellit 500|Satellit 500]] (1989-91) and [[Satellit 700|700]] (1992-96), both of which had a synchronous detector, the latter of which could be equipped with ROM chips for memory expansion. The [[Satellit 900]] was announced in the trade press, but was only built as a prototype due to production problems.

The Grundig satellite series was always aimed at the domestic market, and only the later "Satellit" models even got a marine radio licence. Grundig never attempted to enter in the commercial communications receivers market.

===== World receivers by Grundig USA / Lextronix / Eton =====
After the end of Grundig's own production, Grundig USA used its trademark rights and launched several sets in the USA under the well-known brand name "Grundig Satellit". For trademark reasons, they had to be marketed as Eton or Lextronix in the rest of the world.\\ 
These units are well designed PLL shortwave receivers developed with the support and expertise of [[Drake|R.L.Drake]], but apart from the design they have nothing to do with the original Grundig technology.
