Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor and producer<\/a>, Scott Gamble, who notes the following tweet from @katsu3_uc on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shortly after publishing this photo, Katsu added the following message (this translation via Google Translate):<\/p>\n

“I apologize apparently I have put a photo of the prototype stage. However, it seems that there will be no doubt that a new model will be released from TECSUN at the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, so we will tweet from time to time if there is final information.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This radio prototype looks a lot like the classic Grundig Satellit 700:<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve known for some time that Tecsun has been working on a “high-performance” shortwave receiver and that it would be released by end of year. If this is it, they’re ahead of schedule!<\/p>\n

Rest assured, I’ll be checking out this receiver as soon as it’s available! Check out @katsu3_uc on Twitter<\/a><\/strong> and, of course, we’ll post updates here on the SWLing Post<\/em>. Simply follow\/bookmark the tag: Tecsun S-9900<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
