Depending on the features and performance it could have promise. I have to wask one question though. Why does the manufacturer of these radios keep puting handles on the front of the radio? The only reason I can think of is to make it look like a serious rack mount receiver. |

Had a Tecsun for 2 months. Sold it on e-Bay.
It was the most over-rated piece of crap radio I've come across in some time. Best of all the sucker who bought it from me on e-Bay paid me $5 more than I paid for it. Ha-Ha! |

Handles on the front:
1) It makes it easier to move around on the top of a table. (Get settled into the chair, turn the radio on, and slide it into the perfect position for band cruising). 2) Protects the front of the radio from bumps and bruises. Especially useful for radios that are taller than they are deep, like the RF-2900. Those handles have saved many a faceplate. 3) Allows you to set the radio down on it's face for service, if needed. Not always appropriate depending on the dissassembly, but very useful with some radios. "Roadie" wrote in message ups.com...

Build some AM/FM Shortwave Radio 'specific' IC Chips that have Selectable SSB and AM-SYNC as a built-in feature. This would greatly reduce the cost of design and manufacture of Shortwave Radio and offer a Better Product at a Lower Price. Why with these types of Chips even the common AM/FM Radio could have AM-SYNC - Imagine a GE Superadio with AM-SYNC ? ~ RHF Agree. My take so far on the Chinese radios I've seen and read about is that they have some very good ideas, but they don't fully think through the development of the entire product. The goofy memory setup on the Degen DE1103 and the omission of an AM loop antenna on the Eton E1 are examples of fundamental mistakes that keep two otherwise excellent radios from being truly first class. - I don't know if it is a rush to production, not knowing their audience - or what that causes such lapses. In many respects the Eton E1 - is close to a dream radio, but a swivel antenna for AM listening - keeps me from buying it. Roadie, Do you own a Car or Truck ? Most of them have a Whip Antenna -and- most people think that and Auto's AM/MW Radio 'reception' is as good or in-fact better that most home Radios. The Eyon E1 Radio's AM/MW Radio reception is as good -if- not better then many other AM/FM Shortwave Radios. ~ RHF |
