Dear Steve,

I absolutely agree with you about your desires between a portable and
a tabletop. Though there is probably a place for something like the
Eton E1, why, if it is a portable, does it have no handle? And why, if
it's meant to be a serious (no pun intended) radio, does it have only
one external antenna input and a weird one at that?

And why such poor quality control after several years of production?

It's not for me!

Best,

Joe

Yeah, those requiring handles should avoid the Eton E1, no doubt about
that. *Not even a shoulder strap, with which one could happily sling
the E1 over the shoulder before running out the door, as so many of us
enjoy doing with the Sony ICF-2010.

And that pesky PAL connector has been the bane of many an SWLer. *It
would appear that the Sat 750 continues the PAL antenna jack
tradition. *Heaven help us!

There are adaptors readily available. *What would you prefer?- Hide quoted text -

Adapters are readily available. When I got my E1 a few years back, I
went on and ordered a few such adapters, and it hasn't been an issue
for me.

That said, it has posed some problem for a noteworthy group of folks,
for whatever reason.

What would I prefer? Personally, the PAL is just fine. Given the
helplessness that many have displayed in dealing with the PAL jack,
perhaps an RCA jack would have been more agreeable overall (certainly
NOT a mini, BNC, or UHF).

In any case, it should be a non-issue; but it hasn't been.
