Junius, More likely this would be properly described as the Eton E1 AM/FM Shortwave Radio -sans- {without} circuitry for the 'Optional' XM Satellite Receiver Module http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0101.html Please Note - That I have the Eton E1XM Radio with the 'Optional' XM Satellite Receiver Module : Which I never use and while the Eton E1 AM/FM Shortwave Radio is a GREAT 'portable' Radio -imho- XM Satellite Radio does not make-it or break-it -and- 'sans' {without} XM Satellite Radio the Eton E1 Radio at a new lower Price Point is now clearly Exportable and 'Sellable' Around the World. The Eton E1 AM/FM Shortwave Radio - Something Good Just Got Better - - - At A New Lower Price. :o) ~ RHF http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0101.html this is 'rhf' and that's the way i hear it ~ RHF |

I've heard complaints that this doesn't have a good AM antenna built in.
What's the real story with that? Are people saying that the AM reception is poor with the whip?

Â*Have you? The whip antenna is not a good antenna for AM. It picks up a lot of noise, is not very directional and not very sensitive. Signals easily picked up with other radios are buried in the noise on the E1. A Sony 7600g is much better on AM. |
