It is very sensitive on MW with the whip......but.....the whip has little
immunity to locally generated noise sources within my household. I cannot
rotate it to reject a noise source as compared to a radio with a ferrite
rod.

There is no issue with lack of sensitivity...but there will be more noise
with that signal as compared to a set with a ferrite.

Hi I remember reading in the radiointel review that the E1 does not
have a built- in ferrite AM antenna. However, I've read in this group
that the E1 uses the whip antenna for AM reception, much like a car
radio. Is this true? How is the MW reception on the E1 without an
optional external antenna?
