I've heard complaints that this doesn't have a good AM antenna built in.


I would be truly amazed if a Eton sold a radio with AM coverage and no
AM antennna - wouldn't you? It's got a built in antenna for AM.


What's the real story with that?


The real story is that it uses the whip antenna rather than a wound
ferrite for AM reception.

Are people saying that the AM reception is
poor with the whip?


I haven't heard any people say that. Have you?
