 The analog dials for the wavebands are located at the right half of the frontpanel, the tuning knob on the right side. Four pushbuttons are used to switch on the set and to select the waveband, a fifth smaller pushbutton switches off the radio.

 The set has an adequate sensitivity on shortwaves, but it's analog dial with coarse frequency markings is a serious drawback, the set receives only on six shortwave broadcast bands, the 22 meter band is omitted and out of band channels cannot be tuned.
-With it's clock timer, the Grundig Yacht Boy will make a fine travel radio as long as you rely on FM and mediumwaves and just want to catch up some news from the BBC or Deutsche Welle. If You really have to rely on informations from your home on shortwaves, you should invest some more money in a set with a digital frequency display - from this aspect, the Grundig Yacht Boy 100 / 120 can be considered as collector's item that sometimes can be found for a few Euros at an online auction.
