Interestingly, the Passband.com article states that the E1XM is to be
retained and the E1 discontinued. Yet, there have been a number of
folks on the Yahoo E1XM group who have called Eton enquiring as to
this matter and who were told that it was the E1XM that was being
discontinued, while the E1 (non-XM variant) was to be retained in the
product line. I guess this story will require a bit more time before
the facts are entirely sorted out.

In any case, the Eton folks really need to get a consistent story out,
one way or the other. And they should've ensured that there was a
consistent and internally understood position on this prior to CES
2008. As it is, the Eton E1 / E1XM discontinuation bit was presumably
spawned from a comment made by an Eton rep at CES 2008. As result,
for a wide range of radio enthusiasts in various online fora, the
discontinuation story was just as big a news item as the Sat 750
unveilling. And given the apparent feature omissions of the Sat 750
(no sync, no PBT, apparently 2 bandwidth filter selections, as opposed
to the three on the E1), the overall Eton story emanating from CES
2008 was one of a retreat from the premium shortwave portable market.

Time will tell...
