I want to buy a world band radio for my son. I'm thinking of the Eaton 1 on
sale from Circuit City. I am also thinking of a internet wireless radio. It
would seem to me that wi-fi is the better choice. Am I missing something?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What's missing, from that over-priced Eaton E1, is an internal ferrite-
bar antenna!

Funny, my $10 Sony ICF-S10MK2 AM/FM radio has one, as did all of my SW
radios before I dumped them because of all of the religious fanatics.
Bedsides, the Eaton Siht E! has cheap dials and switches.

None of my desk radios have a rod antenna, all of my portables do. It
really depends more on where you plan on using it, though. Inside most
modern buildings MW is iffy no matter what.
