Harald,
thanks for your explanation. It seems I am still living with an assumption
that there is one big German company called GRUNDIG, which is responsible
for its branches around the world - what is in fact not true anymore. Now I
understand all the consequences - thanks to you and others who responded to
my contribution to this list.

GOOD DX (also with the new Satellites),
