Default Drake R8 Vs Eton E1 - MW

Dear DeWayne,

Look what has happened to your original query! (And I'm afraid I also
contributed to this.)

Bottom line (in my opinion): research and buy a better MW antenna than
the AOR LA-380. One that is especially dedicated to MW should improve
your reception as much as is possible. The C. Crane is very good (I own
one) as is the Select-A-Tenna (I own one of those too) and the Quantum
antenna I mentioned in my first post is, according to Jay Allen (in his
Radio Intel review) even better yet. Check the antennas out for
yourself.


The Quantum QX looks like a real winner.


I really think that another radio is not the answer to your quest for
better MW reception (you already have one of the best); a new MW
antenna is!


I'd like to add the Eton E1 to my R8 also. Or maybe the new Degen 1108.
Thanks Joe.


Best,

Joe
