What is the main difference between the Satellit 750 and the Satellit 800? I am debating whether to get one or the other? Which do you recommend?

Paulo,The Grundig 750 is a small portable radio whereas the 800 is a very heavy, professional like radio. Just compare the size and weight, the difference is like night and day. This does not mean that the 750 is not good enough. The 750 gives professional performance in a lighter package. Depending on what your needs are the 750 may be the right radio for you. Without doubt the 800 will outperform the 750 but only a very experience short wave listener would know. There are a few features on the 800 that are not available on the 750, just compare the specs. If you do not notice the difference, than you should start with the 750 just for its ease of use.

Thank you for the info, I have had my celestron 130 about 4 years, love the telescope, hate the finder sight. Taakes a "watch" battery, and I am always having to replace it.

Do not hesitate to buy from Amazon, and do not hesitate buying the 750 if it is in your reach. Amazon is great and 750 Samsung is the absolute berries. I don't think there could be a better marriage of electronics and seller.D.King

Why does this get such negative reviews? Seems logical to get the most recent model in most tech things. We're buying our first gps, and need europe maps. Is the 765, 775, or 275 better?

I have a Meade ETX70 with Autostar. I find the included alignment system to be too time consuming. The SkyScout does a pretty decent job in locating my objects of interest. I then point the telescope to that area and fine tune the location until I have it centered. For the price I find it to be a worthwhile investment.

I answered this yesterday, but long story short, for what you are doing, I would go with the 80mm unit. You will be happy with it.

According to the manufacturer's website the 750 has a built-in subwoofer whereas the 650 does not. This seems to be the biggest difference. Has anyone listened to both? Any thoughts?

I am looking at the picture of the back of the 750 on the B and H site. The eyepiece is square, and very likely identical to the one one the D7100 which we have. So yes, most likely. It takes a while for the Hoodman specs to catch up with the newest camera version. I say likely because I don't have a 750 to test &lt;groan&gt;.

The Black edition has the same forward lens as the 9500xi, so supposedly it boosts the range an additional 40%. Not to sway you towards a different detector, but I bought a Valentine One about a year ago. I would highly recommend getting that over any of the Escorts. Knowing WHERE the radar is, is way nicer than IF there's radar, and IF it's fake or legit.

To my understanding it is usually believed that 2470 is a better version than this one in the same focal length range. But there are other things to consider. How important is it for you to have the extra versatility, that is, the focal length of 70 to 120? How much do you care about the lost of aperture range? (And that depends on what you plan to shoot most often.) How important is the price difference to you? And weight differs, too. Actually, I envy the newest 750 model so much! lol. It certainly deserves good lenses.

I am not 100% sure, but I am going to say yes. The only difference between the two models is internal with the satellite radio component and the weather alert.

The Sat 750 works as good as the antenna you put up indoors or outdoors. The Sat 750 is a porta top receiver that has more circuitry than the PL 660 and can handle bigger outdoor antennas than the small portable PL 660. I have owned it since last year and it's a great radio for DXing in my apartment, but a home made short wave active antenna project brought out the weak signal reception I was missing all these months. It's a great radio, but it does not a DRM AM IF output jack for digital radio short wave reception.

I was faced with this exact problem and chose the 700. Here are my reasons. The 700 has a longer lens but the 800 has a wider lens. For my shooting purposes, longer is definitely more useful. You should think about what kind of shots you're likely to shoot and decide based on that.The 800 has a newer sensor and higher ISO capabilities. The higher ISO enables you to shoot in dark light so if you often shoot at night, that might be something to think about. I doubt the newer sensor is worth the $80. It's not like the 700 had a terrible sensor.

From the research I have done, this is a better quality telescope than the PowerSeeker. The Celestron PowerSeeker series comes with extras (such as the Barlow lens), but the quality of the Celestron AstroMaster series is superior; that is why the AstroMasters cost more and come with less. At this price ($49.95 including shipping), it is a good buy. Good bye.

The Satellite 750 does NOT have a built-in mains power supply. It is a battery-powered device taking 4 x D-size cells. Alternatively, it can be powered from an external source of 6 Volts DC such as a transformer plugged into your mains supply. Your local electrical retailer or electronics shop will sell you a suitable unit. Bring the radio along so you can be sure the connector fits and is the correct polarity (the center pin is negative).

Thank you! This was really helpful. I'm going with the ET-60, hope to test it out this weekend!

I looked at both and bought the 750....for the price (and difference) you are really looking at how important a super thin TV is to you, if saving $2 a month on your energy bill makes that big of a difference, or if you are that nuts about LED, for $800 I wasn't. 200,000 to 1 as a Dynamic contrast ratio is more than enough (you can't really tell much more of a difference). If you really wanna get the LED and are willing to spend that kind of money get the 8000 (even thinner and edge lit led). Because of the models above and below it, and price differences I don't see the 7000 making much sense unless you find a unique deal that only has that set on sale.
