I want to buy a world band radio for my son. I'm thinking of the Eaton 1 on

Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What's missing, from that over-priced Eaton E1, is an internal ferrite-
bar antenna!




Funny thing..your car radio doesn't have one either. Neither does mine
and it works extremely well, especially at night and into the early
morning. The long distance AM signal reception on most car radios is
very good.

In fact, I don't know of ANY car radios that use a ferrite rod antenna.

For what The Eton E1 is now selling for, it's an absolute bargain.
