A fixed radio and a free FR200 to boot. Not bad.

Well that sucks for them. The quality was something they wanted to
have very high for the product, 2395 units effected? Did they have
a new guy one the line for a week, doing about 60 radios a day? I
wonder the total number of E1's sold to date?

Heh, if anyone is effected and sends in their radio put some type
of mark on it where only you would know where it is, see you if get
the same radio back. Does anyone know if Eton has technical dept
here in the states or does it go back to India?

I am going to wait another 6 months till I get one, better quality
and the price should be down some.

Eek. The E1XM is a happier radio than any of those.

Yes, and "happiness" certainly comes at a price, doesn't it? A monthly
subscription, no less.

Kepner-Tregoe Problem Analysis says something changed in the production
line in India.

Either with the parts or with the personnel or with the procedure. It
is usually a person.
We had a problem here at work with a valve traceable to a supplier who
had an untrained summer student for about a month who did not get
trained on a small critical detail.

This is typical KT Problem Analysis, look for what changed on the the
Time Line for this radio production

Ordinarily I wouldn't blink an eye over something like this. Recalls
happen. They're a fact of life for all manufacturers. However, Eton's
case is different. How many false production deadlines did they
announce to their customers and the general public? Was anyone even
able to keep track? If you're going to jerk your customers around in
such a brazen way for close to a freaking decade, then quality control
had better be A-OK when the product finally reaches the customer. So
far as I can tell, Eton doesn't have one whit of respect for its
customers, which is also probably why it resorts to silly tricks like
E1 to sell more radios to the untutored buyer.
