That sounds almost blasphemous.

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.
