Very capable portable
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I'm actually on my third YB400. First two succumbed to hard drops on concrete by other people.....long story. These receivers were great company to me for many years while I travelled out of town during the week. I have also taken them with me to the Caribbean and Florida while on vacation. Coolest experience with my YB400 was while in Aruba I was monitoring an Aruba station working the CQWPX CW contest and actually heard my station back in Illinois work him which I was controlling remotely via TeamViewer and Pignology K3ui. I still regularly drag it out onto the patio while I'm grilling dinner. My Grandfather got me interested in SWLing. I think he would have been very fond of this receiver.

It works just fine
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
One of my very first 'modern', contemporary manufactured SW receivers, purchased waaaay back in the early '90s, this little guy worked and works just fine for its price point, and even more so for its much lower resale prices.
It was the first receiver I used with a dedicated SSB mode and though it was touchy, I was able to use it pretty well very quickly, and I don't recall it getting too drifty most of the time. Certainly, having long since used much better and pricier receivers, I now consider the YB400's SSB to be worse than mediocre, but not worse than its average used price would promise.
FM sounded nice for such a little radio, and MW/SW AM signals were clear and mostly crisp and intelligible, no worse than on most portables of its size and retail point. In fact it sounded better than the Tecsun 600 I had for a while (which certainly had better SSB but was still not great).
It's not a powerhouse performer, it's not even a decent DX machine, but it's just fine for SW b'cast listening, AM/FM bands and if you don't mind twiddling with a little finesse and patience, amateur SSB can be enjoyed to some extent, too.
Certainly performs well for its current price range.

Three Thumbs Up
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've had three of these including a silver PE for many years and they work great. Bought 'em all used for very little $. Performance to price ratio is high. Now they aren't meant to compete with high priced pro-grade receivers so one must adjust his/her expectations accordingly.

OK Choice if SSB not required
Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This review is for the almost identical G4000A. I also own an E5,7600GR, and KA1103, so this review will focus on where the G4000A falls short or exceeds these models.
Pros: *Sensitivity/Selectivity on SW/BCB/FM matches or exceeds the previously mentioned models. *Sound from the built in speaker is richer and fuller. *Has a non-radio (beep) alarm with snooze *Push button frequency step control. (7600GR also has additional buttons for same function.) *Memory system is easy to set and use. (but only 40 presets.) *Volume control feels smooth and is easy to set anywhere from silent to loud.
Cons: *SSB *SSB *Did I mention SSB? CW was a warbled mess, and SSB voice took forever to tune in a signal that was easy on the other radios, to only halfway intelligible on the G4000A. For an SSB radio I'd rate it 1/5 if I was being generous. * Overall Control quality. The buttons and switches feel sloppy and cheap compared to the other radios. They work, but don't inspire confidence. * requires 6 rather than 4 batteries.
So... Buy this radio if you are looking for BCB/SW unit to put on your nightstand with a beep alarm, and use a few memories.
Do not buy this radio if you want to monitor SSB/CW ham transmissions, if you plan to operate mainly on batteries, or have hundreds of presets.

Bought mine in 1994
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I guess I'd give my YB400 a 5 just because I've been using it almost daily for 15 years and it has served me well. Whether at home, in a motel room or in a tent while camping I've listened to the bands nearly every night. It absolutly isn't the best receiver I own but it is the most versatile and I can always find something to listen to on it. I bet I'm still listening to it 15 years from now too!

Good general use portable
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've owned mine for seven years. This radio has very good sounding audio. Not particularly good for surfing the bands because of the push button tuning and it's annoying to tune with headphones on. But for casual BCB on SW/AM/FM it's a good radio. Headphone L/R channels aren't balanced in my set until the volume is turned up high then it's too loud, so I have a little in-line volume control to compensate for it. Overall a good general use portable radio.

Very Nice
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had my Yachtboy 400 since 2003; bought refurbished from Universal Radio for $99.00.
I have used this radio at home and camping, with internal and external antennas, on MW, FM and SW bands; this radio has been great. It performs well beyond the expectations of a $99.00 radio. It's actually built in a manner that makes portability easy and safe for the radio. The earbuds, external antenna and carrying case included with the radio made the purchase even better.
The radio is great in every aspect with only a few exceptions. The audio is terrible with the built-in speaker. I use an external speaker with the headphone jack and it sounds much better. I am not too fond of the battery level monitor that shuts the radio off when it thinks the batteries are low.
Other than those two things the radio is a keeper even at full MSRP.

I like this little beast!
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been a swl for 53 years and have owned many radios from 1926 models to present. I got my YB400pe 3 years ago and really enjoy it. Paid 149 at Radio Shack and it's worth every penny.Remember, it's not a 2 grand tabletop! I would never consider Degens or Kaitos because of a huge gap in coverage. This radio looks great and construction quality is good but not great. Refurbished units can be had for about 99 yankee dollars. Get one--you will like it.

Get One while they are still in good shape
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hello All, I have used several portable radios in it's class and must say although the Grundig 400 is discontinued you can still find them on Ebay for reasonable prices. I have used the KAITO 1103,SONY 7600GR and now have the G4000A which is just like the 400PE but with a leather case. I liked the KAITO but it had a VERY SENSITIVE front end and NON CONTINUOUS tuning across the entire spectrum of the shortwave bands. Although the Kaito 1103 charges it's batteries inside the unit it takes at least 12 hours and while charging the charger/adaptor introduces a nice "BUZZ" all over the bands. The Sony 7600GR is nice but doesn't come with an AC power adaptor,no Signal strength meter and not as good sound from it's speaker. Is it really worth the Sync detection to sacrifice those? For those who like to use a portable SW radio with AA batteries just go to your local Best Buy and buy those Energizer rechargable batteries that come with a charger. They charge in 15 minutes in this charger unlike the 12 hours in the Kaito. I will list the Pros and Cons of the YB 400 as I see them..
PROS- 1.EXCELLENT sound from it's built in Speaker 2.Good reception across all the bands 3.Simple tuning and no band switching needed when tuning across the entire SW spectrum like the Kaito 1103 4.SIMPLE memory operation(No goofy pages to use) 5.Memory Tuning,Direct Entry,and auto tuning built in 6.Radio when new comes with manual,real antenna,and power adaptor. 7.Signal Strength Meter 8.Two times 9.Sleep timer 10.Good SSB reception,just takes a little patience 11.unlike the KAITO 1103 this guy has a DEDICATED volume knob,the Kaito you had to hit a button and then adjust the volume! Even with the New G5(I have not had) apparently does NOT have a volume knob,you have to adjust the volume with buttons! 12.well layed out keypad 13.Alarm clock to wake up to radio 14.Good location of the "LIGHT" and "Snooze" button. 15.EXCELLENT SENSITIVITY 16.EXCELLENT SELECTIVITY
CONS: 1.a little large for a portable these days 2.No Sync detection 3.No Dedicated LSB/USB like the SONY 7600GR 4.No Tuning Knob. 5.Display light won't "stay on" but bright enough to see what your tuning in the dark. Light will stay on for 10 seconds and go off. If you tune the radio while the light is on by letting go of a button and then pressing the same button you originally pressed or another one in the ten second window the light will stay on.However if you are HOLDING DOWN a button while the light is on the light will go off in 10 seconds so if you want to have the light stay on you have to let go of the button and push it again in the 10 second window for it to stay on OR tap the light on button.
Don't let the poor reviews fool you. I consider this radio to be a favorite of mine and for me it's a little better then the SONY 7600GR
I liked the Sony but if you want to jog through more then 10 memories you have to change pages,the sound is FAIR at best from it's built in speaker and no signal strength meter. It is a good radio though but I think you get more bang for the buck with a used Grundig 400.

This review was compiled independently. The Medium Wave Circle and Radio Netherlands has no financial connection with R.L. Drake, the manufacturer of this receiver.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.)
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.’ [Thanks, Chris!]

Great radio at a very good price.
Grundig YB 400 is a truly classic shortwave radio - it has high sensitivity and very stable, perfectly aligned shortwave reception. Very good on SSB too contrary to many other reviewers I like it's sensitivity with a whip and also the fact it can handle very long antennas perfectly too, without overloading! Grundig YB 400 is a golden standard among shortwave radios - vintage and contemporary, in my opinion! I like it very much and highly recommend it to everyone enjoying shortwave listening hobby! Thank you EBAY!

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

Power supply, accessories, semiconductor setup, development, additional information, grundig yacht boy 400 (old).
Yacht Boy 400; manufactured by Grundig , Fürth.
When I saw this Grundig Yacht Boy 400 the first time, I felt quite irritated, as the new Yacht Boy 400, a completely different set came to my mind.
This Yacht Boy is a compact single conversion travel radio with bandspread dial of the most common 6 shortwave bands. With the same designation Yacht Boy 400 , Grundig brought out travel radio with PLL synthesized tuning and digital frequency readout, more then ten years later.
Technical Data
Principle : Single conversion , IF
Modes : AM (A3) , FM (F3)
Frequency range : FM, LW, MW, 6 x SW (49 / 41 / 31 / 25 / 19 / 16 m band)
Frequency dial : Analog dial
Frequency memories : none
Signal strength indicator : tuning LED
Signal processing :
Sensitivity : AM (A3) / Selectivity :
Batteries : 5 x 1,5 V ( UM-3 )
220 x 135 x 40 mm, 0.7 kg
The Grundig Yacht Boy 400 is a portable multiband „pocket radio“, with it's dimensions of 22,3 x 13,4 x 4 cm and a weight of 700 g, it will fit in your coat pocket or find some space in your suitcase without problems.
The Yacht Boy 400 is an early example of the small Grundig travel portables with a bandspread dial for several shortwave bands; it is quite similar to the the Yacht Boy 120 , the upgraded Yacht Boy 100 with an integrated quartz clock from 1982.
The set was available in black and in silver colour.
The set covers the FM broadcast band, long and mediumwaves and six broadcast shortwave bands from 49 - 16 meters.
In the middle of the front panel, you find the slide control for volume, a rotary tone control and a sliding switch to select one of the six shortwave broadcast bands. The analog dials for the wavebands are located at the right half of the frontpanel, the tuning knob on the right side of the cabinet. Four pushbuttons are used to switch on the set and to select the waveband, a fifth smaller orange pushbutton switches off the radio.
A tiny window for the quartz clock is located above the round speaker grill. You can set the clock to display the time, the minutes and seconds only and the alarm time; the set can be switched to wake you up by radio music or a buzzer sound.
I red glowing LED next to the tuning dial will act as signal strength indicator for strong stations.
The set is powered by five AA batteries for the radio and an additional clock battery, there is a connector for a matching Grundig external power supply. The antenne is a 70 cm flexible / rotating telescopic antenna, the set has no external antenna connector.
The set has an adequate sensitivity on shortwaves, but it's analog dial with coarse frequency markings is a serious drawback. The set covers only 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 major international broadcasters. If you really have to rely on informations from home on shortwaves, you should invest an additional amount of money in a set with digital frequency display - from this aspect, the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 can be considered as collector's item that sometimes can be found for a few Euros at an online auction.
Don't confound this set with the later variant of the Yacht Boy 400 , a completely different radio with PLL synthesis and a digital frequency display, which did appear in 1994 and was very popular.
