Hi I remember reading in the radiointel review that the E1 does not
have a built- in ferrite AM antenna. However, I've read in this group
that the E1 uses the whip antenna for AM reception, much like a car
radio. Is this true? How is the MW reception on the E1 without an
optional external antenna?

Absolutely unbelievable, for a radio in this price class without an
internal ferrite-bar antenna, and without a Satellite Radio antenna,
too ! God, pay $400 - $500 for another Eaton **** receiver, with a
plastic housing and cheap plastic knobs, and add on another $100 for
the extra antennas ! Jesus !

Good grief! You are such a naysayer. The truth is that this receiver is
at LEAST as good as the 2010, Sat800, and anything else out there in the
portable family. Why are you on such a mission to speak ill of this radio?

Give it a rest and gfy.

Good grief ! At least, the 2010 and DX-440 had some steel balls !

Honestly I find the E1 to be a very solid radio! It weighs a ton and has
a very utilitarian feel to it. The knobs have ZERO wobble or play in
them, the display is immaculate, the whip is beefy and sturdy, the
sync detector is very quick and effective, etc.... what more do you want
other than the ferrite bar?

The E1, only "weighs a ton", after you have stuffed all those damn
batteries into it - just like the cheapo S350. Tecsun/Eton/Grundig -
"made with slave wages in China" ! I And yes, the cheapo plastic knobs
wobble !
