[bitnet.swl-l] Grundig Satellit 500 info wanted

tom@AMES.ARC.NASA.GOV> (01/17/90)

I recently saw a magazine ad for the Grundig Satellit 500; it looked
impressive, so I called the toll-free number and sent for more info.
Well, I got that yesterday.  However, the specs are limited to things
like frequency ranges and power supply.  :(  The brochure quotes an
article from Monitoring Times, though (issue number is not mentioned).
So the questions are:

    - Does anyone own one of these beasts?  How do you like it?
    - What did Monitoring Times think of it?
    - Has anyone seen these available at a good price?

All and any information is appreciated, especially if anyone can compare
it to the Sony ICF-2010...
