Default Thinking Positive About "My" Eton E1 Radio ! -and- Simply Enjoying the Listening Experience :o)

So, you pay for CLASS ? You must have an Eaton E10, with the damn
IF-shift. Do you know why your radio has that switch ? Your cheap E10
is a single-conversion unit, that needs that switch to help avoid
images. You could have spent much less and purchased a Degen 1103,
with dual-conversion and SSB, both which the E10 lacks. The Sony
7600GR's quality is rated much higher, than the cheap Chinese-made
Eton/Grundig plastic boxes - just look at the piece of **** S350 ! In
an interview, Grundig/Eton admitted to jacking up their prices for SW
receivers, because people do not know what is really involved in SW.
Oh, and you call that CLASS ? A reviewer on Amazon, who bought the real
piece of cheap **** "Porsche" model Grundig radio, called Grundig and
they admitted their quality and company are "going down the toilet".
There hasn't been a really decent quality receiver since the DX-440.
You think Eton "cares" - what a joke !

Nobody around here sells Degens. I'll probably buy one some day, just
the same.

The E1XM is made in India, in a defense plant.

Sony makes crap. It's junk. The 2010's front-end goes deaf if you
look at it wrong. The sidebands are completely unmatched in the
7600G. They haven't made a decent radio since the 7601.

Why do you keep saying ''Grundig''?

Why are you so obsessed?
