Rikk, I'm in the same situation. Could you tell me what you decided to
buy? I was looking at the Eton E-1 but there's been a recall to fix
something. I'm still looking at the Eton but maybe the used Grundig 800
might do.
I'm "newer than you" in SW but I have the same needs as in your 1/27
message. Thanks.


The past few days, there have been some nice Sony 2010s on eBay in the
$255 to $330 range; that's a bit cheaper than the Eton dealies.

Only problem with the 2010 is a lack of tunable SSB. Fine if you're just
listening to broadcasts, not fine if you're listening to hams. Of
course, I didn't see the original message, but I wanted to point that
out for anybody considering a 2010.
