I just purchased a Eton E5 radio with SSB. When I switch to SSB mode, I can never hear anything. What am I doing wrong? Should I be listening only to specific frequencies? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Arthur AD, If the Eton E5 works like most AM/SSB Radios : http://www.etoncorp.com/product_card...oductDbId=5968 1 - Tune in a strong 'local' AM/MW/BCB Radio Station in the AM Mode and switch to SSB Mode [Button # 8] and the SSB Icon will show in the LCD Screen. - - - Or the 5 MHz or 10 MHz WWV Time Signal in the Shortwave Radio Band. 2 - Use the Fine-Tuning Knob (Wheel) on the Side to Tune in the Station {Clarify the Sound}. You may fine one or two points that the Sound 'sounds' OK. Most likely if this does not work : Then the SSB feature is not working in your Radio Read Pages 18 & 19 in the Manual. http://www.etoncorp.com/upload/conte...anual_1206.pdf Check-Out the Eton E5 / Grundig G5 / Degen DE1103 / Kaito KA1103 Radio Owner's/User's Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EtonE5/ Review of the Eton E5 / Grundig G5 Radio -by- Jay Allen @ RadioIntel.Com http://www.radiointel.com/review-etone5.htm eHAM Reviews of the Eton E5 / Grundig G5 Radio http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5687 First Look at the Eton E5 / Grundig G5 Radio -by- Jim Clark [NR2G] @ Monitoring Times http://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/...ook-etone5.pdf hope this helps - iane ~ RHF |

Well, well that all is true, however I recently bought a Eton E5 portable, quite cheap on e-bay for about half of retail price.which has worked fine up till now. The other evening I tried to use SSB as I have done since I bought the unit, and it appears to be 'stuck' on all frequencies - when I tune in to normal LW, AM the unit appears to be stuck on a particular frequency as well even though I can change the frequency on the dial there is no change at all in stations. At first I thought it was the 'hold' facility on the lock and so I have reset the e5, and also wiped the memory. The same issue! - No SSB, no AM, no LW, and no shortwave. The only thing that works is FM. I'm none to pleased as I have only had this portable a month. I'm still trying to find out what is wrong with it, I'm even tempted to open up the unit to investigate. I will post a reply if I find a solution. |
