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 !

The Eton cases are very nice plastic.

BTW, my $1,300 Drake has no ferrite bar nor shiny telescoping whip;
did I get ripped off?
