Hi,

It looks like the E1 has been discontinued:

====================

I was never comfortable with the quality control in manufacturing of the E1
and resisted purchasing one. It maybe a very fine reciever but I jut do not
like a history of questionable construction and a large number of failures
as demonstrated in this NG and elsewhere. Too bad.

Both the Grundig and Eton names will suffer especially as their equipment is
built in China that simply does not have any substantial quality to any of
their produced products. I trust products made in Japan, Malaysia and to a
degree India before China, but would much rather see same made in the US or
Canada.

I opted for the Icom R20 instead.
