Maybe my next one will be an E1.........50 miles from Durham Radio.
I had a Grundig Satellit 700 with a full compliment of eprom memories about
10 years ago.
I found that it wasn't that sensitive, even connected to an outside arial.
The YB 400 seemed to grab stations better but oh the toys on the '700.
That alpha numeric display was great.
I bought the set "nearly new" so maybe the original owner had accidentally
placed a static charge either on the whip or at the ant. IN and may have
damaged the first RF input transistor leaving the set in a poor receive
condition.
I'll bet the E1 has great receive capability.

Finally settled on and Eton E5. After many many searches, contacting
"The
Source" head office for assistance in finding one "not a demonstrator

accesories.

The Source has had the Eton E1 in their online catalog for a year.
Nothing in the stores. It was supposed to arrive *last* August.

The staff seems to be more concerned about selling you a cell phone than
a radio. A while back they tried to tell me that a 5k pot was variable
capacitor. Staffing problems are happening everywhere.

They list the E1 as 599$ (Canadian)

I'm glad they didn't have one, as I've found this:

$438.97 (Canadian)
