Hi i have a grundig satellit 700 radio the problem is i can only get the fm band working,when i try the am\mw or lw they are completely dead just a slight hissing,any help would be great..

I merely know much about this but I think it need to be driven towards a mechanic or any engineer, only he will be able to treat you with the utmost need of yours.

Hi,

Can u give me the pincode of that area

Hi,
If you are experiencing bad or NONE AM (MW) reception ,if your receiver has an external antenna connection point here is the solution... It should also have a ground connection as it is rare such a point does not accompany an external antenna connection.
The problem with MW reception is the vast frequency range of the MW band as" 540-1760kHz "
means nighttime fade out, and even heavy static and distortion..( less than SW )
in order to receive a station on LW and MW bands you need to have a "Loop Antenna " that normally supplied by manufacturer..if you cant locate it ,you can buy it in any electronic store..it is a very cheap accessory..additionally both LW and MW works good in daytime with powerful radio stations in your vicinity ..espacially LW..not much stations on these days..except in Europa..MW works better and more stations come after sunset ..
SW band is a little bit different.if you really want to listen SW in depth ,and if your receiver has multiple SW bands as well ,you then need special SW antenna to be attached to your receiver..otherwise it is not worth to listen it due to heavy static and distortion on the band..,unless you want it..just for testing and to see what is available in your area pls attack a plain wire (about 1 meter ) to ext antenna plug and try to search it..if you desire to learn shortwave -Listen To The World please visit the URL below.

The most common problem for no FM is the failure of component F1 IF transformer. One of the windings on the transformer opens, so you have either no input, or a very low level input to the FM mixer. You need to obtain a copy of the Satellit 700 service manual, and then find F1 in the schematics. You can check the windings with a simple ohm meter to verify if one of the windings is open or not.
If F1 is defective, and I have seen many 700's with this fault, you need to replace it with an adjustable 10.7 MHz IF Transformer in a 7mm can configuration.
I found a replacement 7 mm 10.7 MHz IF Transformer at Talon Electronics. Their part number for it is IND2134, and it costs a whopping $0.80. Here is a link:

If the radio uses memory batteries, try changing these with new alkalines. The microprocessor needs this power to drive the display.

No, it uses the same source.
Have you checked which band you are selecting? It has 3 FM bands, LW and MW, right?
It may not be a relay, but an untuned station.

Ist Local Oscillator (PLL) stops working. It's desiged with bare minimum feedback to keep it's output reasonably clean. Removing (De-soldering) the screening box reduces losses, but it's still marginal. Something in the osc. circuit is temperature sensitive, so squirting it with freezer spray - or putting the set in the 'frig will get it going again. Have one like this, "Repaired" - been going for about 5 years and just quit again! If I get any better luck next time, I'll re-post this!

This link will take you to the Grundig/Eton site where you can download and print the complete manual for your radio:

HI,
THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR IS WHAT KIND OF ADAPTER 9V 1AMP YOU SHOULD
HAVE FOR THAT PARTICULAR RADIO AND ANTENNA FOR SW AND FM SHOULD BE CONNECTED.IT MUST BE THE ADAPTER THAT'S ON THE OUTS NOT ENOUGH VOTAGE TO POWER THE RADIO.

You realize that the MW is the AM stations....I don't know
why they didn't just put AM on the band select...
Also I could not get MW (AM) on my set once and the
reason was that it was too close to my laptop...
It was interfering with the radio.....
