While the latter two are both excellent portables (I've held on to my
'2010 and 'SW77), they're not in the same performance league as the
E1.


There's a review of the E1 he

Shortwave Comparisons: I first compared these radios as true
portables, using only their built-in antennas and battery power.
Using daytime extremely faint shortwave signals it was obvious
that the Sony 2010 is still the "raw sensitivity" champ. When
signals are near the threshold of audibility the Sony 2010 still
beats the Grundig Satellit 800 and the Eton E1 by a hair. The SW77
was last in this test. I used weak signals that were fading in and
out and the 2010 would just barely maintain audio while both the
Eton and Grundig had faded completely. The SW77 lost the signal
the earliest. For these tests:

SW Sensitivity: Faint DX Signals:
Sony 2010 - Best
Eton E1/Grundig Satellit 800 - Tied For Second - Very Close
Sony SW77 - Third place

Never the less, the reviewer's final conclusion was that the E1 was
the best of those radios.

It would appear that the E1 lacks Air Band coverage:
