The famous grundig Satellit 700 was the last high end shortwave radio developed by Grundig Germany.

It's successor, the Satellit 900, was in development, but Grundig Germany closed down before it went into production. The Eton E1 was advertised in USA as Grundig / Lextronix, it looked similar, but the electronic design was probably only closely related to Grundig but more a development from Eton / Drake. It was definitely not made in Germany.

The same is the case with the Satellit 800: this set has an appearence similar to the Grundig Satellit 600 / 650, but it's definitely designed and marketed by Lexington / Grundig USA (in collaboration with R. L. Drake) and probably made in China.

So it's an interesting radio and nice performer, but it's definitely not German engineering inside...

Hope this helps if you come across a Satellit Radio with a model number higher then 700.
