it sounds like the E1 is better than I thought it would be, this one
could go down in history as a classic.


We're lucky to have Lucky on RRS! Thanks to him we now have a good idea
of what the Satellit 900 --err, E1-- is all about. And thanks also to
him for the pointer to the manual.

From what I can tell from the specs, this is a repackaged Satellit 800
sans the ugliness and empty air. The addition of PBS is useful for SSB.
For AM one simply off-tunes while in SAM mode. I suspect the detector
circuitry is essentially what's in my Drake SW2, so a shift of up to
50-60% of the width of the chosen filter would be possible.

With my Satellit 700 developing a buzz after a few minutes operation,
and with my having to do some repair work on my ancient 2010, the E1 is
looking like the perfect bedside/rooftop radio. Can't wait 'til J&R
gets their shipment!

Like Lucky, I have a thing for radios. In addition to the above units,
I also have the 525, R30 (each feeding a speaker through an SE3 and
FL3), HF150, SPR-4, Sony 5900 & 7600, and Pete's MW receiver as soon as
it's released. Clearly I desperately need another radio!

Thanks again, Lucky.
