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 !
