Congrats on a good deal.

I too picked up one at my local Radio Shack. It's a great, little radio at
that price.

Do not pay heed to the idiots who will post that you should've bought
such-and-such a radio. The Eton is a nice, little radio with very good
sound quality.

The Eton will be full of images, being a single-conversion superhet.
Also, you will not be able to listen to hams, or utilities. Good deal
! Looks like, you both, are the idiots !

At least I don't double post!

And I identify myself!

AND, I bought it for use as a small spare radio that is great for
taking along camping. I also like to hear its great FM sound and FM
sensivity.

Also, I have had a previous Ten-tec single conversion radio that had
little or no image problems so your one-size-fits-all description of
single conversion radios is not always valid. Have you listened to
this model? If not, keep your opinions to yourself.
