I want to buy a world band radio for my son. I'm thinking of the Eaton 1 on

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. Â*It
really depends more on where you plan on using it, though. Â*Inside most
modern buildings MW is iffy no matter what.

Eaton/Gundig/Tecsun radios are poor quality and are overpriced - hell,
the $150 Gundig E5 is for all purposes, the same radio as the $65
Degen 1103! I had a Grundig/TecsunEaton S350 and it was the cheapest
piece-of-**** radio that I have ever owned!
