decision between them. Could anyone give me some advice, reviews and
recommendations?
Thanks all,

Be aware that the Eton E5 gobbles batteries even when turned off. I own one and typically have to recharge the batteries after 2 months of non-use. My E5 also came with a power adapter that generates interference on shortwave bands. Other than those issues, I am happy with my E5.
I have an ATS-505 as well, but I have much less usage experience with it. It is larger than I expected and I find the sound that its speaker makes to be unpleasant for some reason.
