The Yacht Boy 400 is praised in the Passport To World Band Radio as "Best performance for price/size category ... right up there with very best among world band radios." Passport'95 rates the YB-400 as "The Compact model most preferred by our panelist in Eastern North America and Europe for listening to major world band stations." Coverage is complete including long wave (144-353 kHz), AM band to 1710 kHz and shortwave from 1711 to 30000 kHz. FM (87.5-108 MHz) is included with stereo provided to the headphone jack. A thumb wheel knob on the side of the radio provides smooth single side band (SSB) tuning. The illuminated digital display provides tuning resolution at 1 or 5 kHz on shortwave. Two bandwidths are featured. The narrow position affords maximum selectivity, or the wide position may be chosen for best audio fidelity.
