Reviewers: Jonathan Marks, Diana Janssen, and Willem Bos.

The Yacht Boy 400 was launched at the end of 1993 in North America. In fact at £105 across Europe, the Yacht Boy 400 turns out to be a great value package. Our example is clearly made for Grundig in the Peoples’ Republic of China. Grundig has designed the unit and supervised the quality control. The Yacht Boy 400 looks like many travel portables. At 180 by 120 by 37 millimetres, the set is about the size of a paperback book, it works off six penlight batteries and weighs 708 grams with batteries.

Despite a rather clumsy instruction booklet literally translated from German, if you practice a little, the Yacht Boy 400 is extremely easy to use. You simply tap in the desired frequency and press a button. Two buttons allow you to shuttle up and down the dial and on shortwave you can flip between 5 kHz steps and 1 kHz. The radio offers two bandwidths, and both filters have a good shape factor for a portable radio. The speaker is closely matched to the cabinet, so the radio sounds much richer and fuller than competing sets from Japan.

The radio turns out to be sensitive, without serious problems of overloading here in Europe. You can store up 40 stations in the memory and using a separate set of up-down buttons you can flip through the active memory channels with ease. Like most radios, the set will scan through the dial stopping at stronger, listenable signals.

Clearly some compromises have had to be made to keep the price down. You can receive signal sideband using the radio, but clarification of either the upper or lower sideband is by means of a thumbwheel rather than the push of a button. The radio also has no synchronous detection, but the sharp bandwidth filters in Grundig, which come out at 5.5 and 3 kHz at -6dB, are a strong plus point.

FM coverage is between 87.5 and 108 MHz, with stereo possible if you connect the pair of earphones. The sensitivity on FM is about right for Europe… may be a little too sensitive for cities in North America where the FM dial is crowded. You can connect an external antenna for areas where shortwave signals are relatively weak. The radio is supplied with a washing-line antenna, though you don’t really need it in Europe. The dial light can be illuminated for bed-side listening, the set has two clocks for keeping track of both local time and UTC and a recessed lock switch to prevent accidental battery drain when the radio is put in a suitcase. We got just over 20 hours of listening from a fresh set of alkaline batteries, listening for periods of an hour a day. That’s not bad, but running the set off the mains is a lot cheaper. A mains power supply is not included as part of the package though.

In short, Grundig has made a superb portable. They would do well to re-write the instruction manual and supply more up to date schedule information… the one packed with our radio was clearly compiled nearly four years ago. Overall, this set is a good value, and it sounds very good.

The Grundig Yacht Boy 400 won the 1994 World Radio TV Handbook Industry Award for Best Shortwave Portable.

In North America, Lextronix released the titanium-coloured finish YB-400PE (Professional Edition) in the fourth quarter of 1998. Electrically, there is no difference between the YB-400 and YB-400PE. A Grundig-brand AC adapter is included, as are stereo ear plugs, wind-up antenna, a re-written owners manual and vinyl carry case. The out-of-date schedule information has been dropped in lieu of sources of information on broadcasters and schedules.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE below.

What is the difference between FM and AM?

FM stands for Frequency Modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation. The biggest difference between FM radio stations compared to AM radio stations is the sound quality.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

How can I best clean my radio?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

What is bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a way of exchanging data wirelessly between electronic devices via radio waves. The distance between the two devices that exchange data can in most cases be no more than ten metres.

How do I change the station on my Grundig Yacht Boy 400 PE?

To change the station, simply use the tuning knob located on the front of the radio. Rotate it gently to tune in to your desired station.

How do I improve the quality of the radio reception?

To improve radio reception, extend the FM/SW antenna to its full length and adjust its position until you achieve clear reception. For AM/MW, try adjusting the radio's position or moving it closer to a window or outside area.

How do I set the alarm on my radio?

To set the alarm, press the "Alarm Set" button and use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired alarm time. Press the "Alarm On/Off" button to activate the alarm function.

How do I adjust the volume on my Yacht Boy 400 PE?

Adjusting the volume is quite simple. Use the volume control knob located on the side of the radio to increase or decrease the sound level according to your preference.

How can I power my radio using batteries?

The Yacht Boy 400 PE can be powered by four AA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the radio, insert the batteries with the correct polarity, and close the compartment securely. Make sure to always use fresh batteries for optimal performance.

Portable Spy Station: Grundig Yacht Boy 400

JOEL JOHNSON — The Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE is ostensibly a portable marine device for tuning in AM/FM and shortwave radio stations (as the 'Yacht Boy' moniker might have tipped you off to.) For those that want to explore the darker side of radio reception, however, the Yacht Boy becomes a indispensable tool for discovering and monitoring 'Numbers Stations', the shortwave radio stations that broadcast mysterious streams of five-figure number blocks throughout the night. Although no one knows exactly what they are for, hobbyists poking about the edges have inferred that the broadcasts are the messages of various spy organizations, utilizing nigh-uncrackable one-time pad crypto. Since short wave can be bounced around the world without a repeater or an amplifier, it's perfect for international communication where large transmitters or receivers could be a liability. There are better shortwave radios than the Yacht Boy, but few as portable (or as cheap.)

Related Content

If that isn't enough to spark your interest, according to Wikipedia, both Stereolab and Wilco have used excerpts from numbers stations audio in their music, while the Scottish bleep masters Boards of Canada were 'influenced by numbers stations at an early age.'

Ratings and reviews

Most relevant reviews, grundig radios rock.

Radio works perfect. I now use it on weekends while working on my hobby room for background music. Reception is excellent and use it on one of the lowest volume settings since the radio can really put out volume when you need it. I was already familiar with this exact radio for I had bought a new one in 1994. My son then used it in college, but batteries were left in radio and battery leakage ruined some electronics inside. I missed it so much I feel very fortunate to have found an identical one to replace my damaged one.

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned

Great little radio

Great little radio, good reception, good sound quality. I was pleasantly surprised.
