I've had two of them and what a disappointment. Just sold the last one
on ebay. A real boat anchor. The best SW portable was the Sony 77 then
the ATS 909. The Chinese radios are junk. Who cares anyway shortwave is
dead.


As you may well know, another "feature" of the E1 is that the batteries
used to blow up, when used with the AC adaptor ! Eton had to recall
this plain-jane, quality $500 receiver. Got to love it - funny stuff !


Wait, I want to make sure I understand you....you're recommending the
E1, right?

Oh yea, I would be happy to recommend this quality SW receiver, to any
SWL loser !
