GA,

What this REMINDS me of is the old RCA Jack on the back of some
1950's Radios that was labeled as "Ready for Television".

All it turn out to be was an external Audio input to take the
TV Audio and run it through the Larger Radio to get that Big
Old Radio Sound.

Just A Sales Gimmick

Don't mistake me YES - I Love Grundig Radios; but AFAIK this is
NOT going to be a "Grundig Satellit 900" but an Eton E1 with a
Questionable "XM" or "DAB" Added-On at what Extra Cost ? ? ?

What Is An ETON ?
Did The Mighty MAX of "G" Know ETON ?
Did MAX go to ETON=

ETON Corp. owes the future / potential buyers Full Disclosure
Lets have "Real Facts" - NOT - 'marketing fiction'.


Feelings are Facts !

The Grundig Satellit 900 was for many a 'portable' SWL Radio
Enthusiast the "Holy Grail" of Receivers To Be ! [NOT]

ETON Corp. by playing Brand Name Games with this Radio has
Killed The Dream for Many Proud Grundig Radio Owners.

Does it really matter what name goes on the radio? The Eton E1 XM
will be what the Grundig 900 was to be. Why keep calling the radios
Grundig when Grundig isn't involved in designing them anymore? I am
sure this is only the first of many new SW radios to come with the
Eton name on them. As far as satellit ready -- my understanding is
that the radio will NOT come with the small satellite antenna
necessary to pick up the signal, plus you have to subscribe to
satellite radio. So it will be ready - the receiver for satellite
radio is there. If this were not the case, most radios would be
satellite ready.
