"Made in India, actually. But we've gone through this more than once
in
this group. Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) puts the E1 together.
BEL, as in the Indian public sector defense firm.

So, buy your E1/G1 and contribute to the profit that BEL
turns over to the Gov't of India (and yes, BEL regularly
turns over a profit to the GOI).

But, true, the Eton/Grundig/Lextronix E1/G1 is not made in Germany.
Nor is it made in Portugal, as the Grundig Satellits 400, 500, 650,
700 were.

By the way, can anyone in this group tell us which was the last
shortwave radio that Grundig mass produced from production
facilities in Germany?"
