satellit 700
Satellit 701
The major control unit inside the Satellit 700 is the main processor
model µPD75516 . This controls most of the radio and of course
setting frequencies, station labeling, storage and for sure all internal
RF circuits, for example the SW pre selection! This is very important
to make the reception always best as possible.
To extent the usage of Satellit 700, some expanded frequencies and
store features were necessary. Therefore, the main processor had to be
replaced by a completely new programmed processor.
BTW: Chip µPD75515 has 80 connections....
The result being on this website only. Because one Satellit 701
do exist worldwide, as described here
Grundig Satellit 701 provides as follwed:
1.) Longwave range 50 to 420 kHz ( normally: 150 to 353 kHz )
2.) Mediumwave range from 480 kHz ( normally from 528 kHz )
3.) FM 80 to 120 MHz ( normally 87,5 to 108 MHz )
4.) AM bandwidth "narrow" 2,7 kHz ( normally 3,8 kHz )
5.) Faster FM RDS settings
6.) New ROM Table, accodring my intruction ( updated: April 2003 )
7.) Modified running letters in the demonstration mode
You can see a short video-clip (Mov.File, 1,5 Mb) here
To 1.)
Picture, LW 77 kHz
Listen to DCF 77, the Time and Standard Frequency Station (Mainflingen/Germany) see video clip below
(NDB) Luxemburg "LW" ".-.. / .--"
DCF77, you can see a littly video clip about that. As a mov.file here or as an avi.file here
To 2.)
Picture, AM (MW) 500 kHz
Zu 3.)
Picture, FM "Fire Dept." on FM below 87.5 MHz
Regarding 6.) ( some examples: )
Deutsche Welle "DW" stored in ROM table memo 1
"BAVARIA 5" stored in ROM table memo 4
Radio exterior de Espania "REE" stored in ROM table memo 9
Radio Slowak International "RSI" stored in ROM table memo 12
Radio Rossia stored in ROM table memo 15.....etc....
Regarding 7.)
New runnning letters ( after entering 123456 )
They telling about extended frequency range, the date of modification, and more...

Remarks:
Copying an outer band frequency, for example 77 kHz, into a Memofile and plug
this Memofile into a standard Satellit 700, it will be totally ignored in a "normal" 700.
The advanced frequency-, and m-Band input. To avoid Input / output conflict,
"new" processor interprets as followed (by entering "90" for exmaple):
Input = Output
9 Dot 0 = 9.000 kHz (short wave)
90 Dot = 90 MHz (FM)
90 = 90 mtr-Band (short wave)
Dot 9 = 900 kHz (medium wave)
Dot 09 = 90 kHz (Long wave)
Due to no 120 mtr-Band has been pre-programed, 120 kHz is accessible by
direct key access. Entering 120 plus "Dot" sets the radio to FM 120 MHz.
Personages:
Mr. Joerg Bauer is employed as a Softwaredesigner at Grundig HQ, Germany.
He designed the Satellit 700 and he is a RDS expert.
And now, take a guess who owns the other Satellit 701 ?
Mr. Gerhard Weber was employed for 42 years at Grundig HQ, Germany as
chief-designer for portable radios. He is who knows most of Grundig Satellit
Nowadays Mr. Weber is retired.
