Well, my Eton 350DL arrived today and I really like it thus far. I
have to go to school so I don't have time to look at it much right
now. Anyway, with the three SW bands, which one would offer the most
tonight when I get home. I will probably take it to bed with me! Also,
I got the silver model and I really like the way it looks, so retro!

This weekend I will have more time to learn it, but I want to jump in
tonight. Any special frequencies you might suggest?

Lastly, I want to offer a major THANK YOU to everyone who put up with
my stupid questions and there were many I am sure. I appreciate it
more than you know.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the S350 is a real piece of ****.

He got the DL version so it should not drift.


Telamon,

The Eton S-350DL Radio has a lot less 'drift'; but on
the Shortwave Radio Bands their still is some 'drift.

The old Grundig S350 Radio was a pain to use on
the Shortwave Radio Bands.

While the newer Eton S-350DL Radio is a step-up
and very usable to enjoy Listening to the Shortwave
Bands.

The Redsun RP2100 Radio is another step-up over
the Eton S-350DL Radio.

hence the old time radio expression "stay tuned" ~ RHF
.

You have unrealistic expectations of the radio. It is analog tuned with
a variable capacitor just like the old time inexpensive tube radios.
You have to expect it to drift with temperature. Turn it on and let the
temperature of the radio stabilize and as long as the room temperature
does not change the radio should stop drifting.

The DL is supposed to have a frequency locking circuitry that is
supposed to stop it from drifting. I'll go with that thought until
someone reliable posts otherwise.
