I got to play with an E1 a couple of months ago. While it doesn't have a

stop making this radio in India?

Forgot to mention, that the Eton E1 does not even have an internal
ferrite-bar antenna, so you have to use an external antenna for AM, and
although Satellite Radio ready, doesn't come with an antenna - at that
price, absolutely ridiculous ! **** Eton !


I have no idea, why a loop stick antenna was not supplied - all I can
say, is that with my miserable experience with the Tecsun/Etcon/Grundig
cheap crap S350, I will never go near Tecsun/Etcon/Grundig, or Sangean
again - I have had excellent experiences with Sonys.

If the only experience you have with Eton is the S350, you are clueless.
Why don't you post back here when you have something meaningful to offer.

Yeah, they're great-but the ****ing collectors have ruined it for the rest
of us-how can you afford one now?

TMT,

If you could buy a Sony ICF-2010 Radio in an Un-Opened Box
aka : 'new' - "NIB" {New-In-the-Box} Today - Great ! Go For It !
- - - These so called "NIB" Sony ICF-2010 Radio usually sell for
over US$500 normally about US$750 on eBay.
- - - However, even though it is 'new' it most likely it does not
have the original Sony Manufacture's Warranty Card.
- - - The Reality is that you are most likely faced with buying a
'used' Sony ICF-2010 Radio for about $240 to $360; that has had
one or two previous owners -and- just may be not quite 100%
{Showing It's Age} - The proverbial PIAP.

So what is out-there that is as good as a Sony ICF-2010 -and-
can be bought "New" with a Full Manufacture's Warranty ? ? ?

IMHO - In today's the 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio Market
-Only- One 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio comes to mind :
The Eton "E1" 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Receiver with
'opinion' XM Satellite Radio.
