It looks like the Eton E1 (minus XM satellite radio capability, it
would seem) is to be rebadged as the Grundig G1.

Not available until late 2007.

The selling price on this set could potentially prove more attractive
than that of the $500 E1XM: ?The G1's list price is $500 on
Universal's website, as opposed to the $700 list price of the E1
(which Universal and other outlets regularly sell at 499.95).

RadioIntel has some pictures of the G1, taken at CES 2007.

Anyone know why they're slapping the Grundig name on it? Is this just
a sales ploy? It's great that they're stripping off the XM.- Hide quoted text -

You, same cheap crap, as the Eaton **** E1 - made in China, not
Germany, anymore.- Hide quoted text -

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?
