Default Is it true the Eton E1 uses the whip for an AM Antenna?

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?


Absolutely unbelievable, for a radio in this price class without an
internal ferrite-bar antenna, and without a Satellite Radio antenna,
too ! God, pay $400 - $500 for another Eaton **** receiver, with a
plastic housing and cheap plastic knobs, and add on another $100 for
the extra antennas ! Jesus !


Good grief! You are such a naysayer. The truth is that this receiver is
at LEAST as good as the 2010, Sat800, and anything else out there in the
portable family. Why are you on such a mission to speak ill of this radio?

Give it a rest and gfy.

Good grief ! At least, the 2010 and DX-440 had some steel balls !
