The title of this thread is interesting.

New *grundig E1* on ebay....

I'll bet a lot of people will associate this radio with Grundig even
though Grundig has absolutely, positively nothing to do with it.

I'm even curious to what extent Drake has had a hand in designing this
radio. They've obviously played some role, but you can scour the Drake
website from top to bottom and never see any discussion of the
E1XM--whereas you can't miss the Satellit 800 and it's up for sale
directly from Drake. Whatever role Drake had with this receiver, it
appears to have been pretty minimal.

But hey, who can resist paying tabletop prices for portable
performance?
