Here's the info on the Grundig Satellit 800:
The S-800 is based on, and performs similarly to, the Ohio-made Drake SW8
portatop receiver that is both thoroughly debugged and highly rated. Unlike
the
SW8, however, it is designed to be a consumer electronics product rather
than a
speciallty receiver for shortwave aficionados.

In 1997, Lextronix - Grundig's North American office - signed an agreement
of cooperation with Drake. The first offspring from this liaison has been
the Grundig Satellit 800, which first began appearing in limited fed
quantities
in mid 2000.

If you want to make your DX-392 or any receiver come alive on Mw, get the
following antenna.  I received mine last Friday via UPS.  Here's a review of
the antenna that was forwarded to me:

in Edek 26" Inductively Coupled MW Loop
I spent my first couple of years in MW DX'ing acquiring an arsenal of
capable MW receivers.  The next couple of years were spent on experimenting
with various antennas - longwires, phasers and loops.
The first inductively coupled loop I tried was the well known Select-A-Tenna
followed by the Radio Shack AM Loop.  These "magic" devices
brought many of my mediocre MW receivers onto the playing field.  As I
corresponded with SWL's and MW DX'ers, I was directed to a loop builder in
Maryland named Ed Wawzinski (K3FDY) who operates Edek
Electronics.
Ed hand assembles and sells inductively coupled loops for MW and
direct-connection loops for SW.  The MW line includes the 16" Torus
Tuner and the 26" "big brother" version.  Ultimately, I purchased the 26"
version after Ed convinced me that the performance difference vs.
the Select-A-Tenna was significant.  He was being modest.  The 26" loop
blows the doors off both the Select-A-Tenna and the RS Loop.
There is significant gain over the smaller loops and I find that it's
ability to null and reject noise to be much better.  It's the best
inductively coupled loop I've used yet for MW.  Like other inductively
coupled loops, it just needs to be placed close to a receiver with an
internal loopstick antenna.  Because the overall gain of the Edek is greater
than the smaller loops, I find that the distance it is placed near the radio
is not nearly as critical.
It very much resembles a black hula hoop (remember those?).  The antenna
comes with a nice wooden base for the loop to sit in.  The MW band is
covered in two segments by way of a switch built into the loop.  The low
position covers approximately 530-1150 khz and the high position covers
1120-1710 khz, so the overlap is about 30 khz.
(Since my loop was built, Ed reports that he extended the overlap to about
60 khz). The capacitor knob is located opposite the switch and is used to
precisely tune the desired frequency.
Any negatives?  Well, it is big!  If you're not careful, it can be tipped
over.  I hang mine on a peg on the shack wall for storage.
I have also had excellent success direct coupling the loop by using the RS
Loop as a pick up loop or by using other pick up schemes.
To date, Ed has sold most of his loops at hamfests or by word-of
mouth - so many in the hobby are unaware of this fine MW antenna.
The current cost (2002) of the 26" Loop is $69.95.    If you are interested
in a high performance inductively coupled MW loop, visit
the Edek website at

    You will find that Ed will be happy to tell you more about his loops via
e-mail    (P.S. - Ed's
direct connect Shortwave Loops work great also).
Best DX.
