Eton E1 S/N 1902

MW performance is similar to a good auto radio when using the whip antenna. I did try out the radio with a Radio Shack passive loop antenna. MW performance is pretty respectable with this configuration, although you have to keep the loop antenna away from the display in order to not pick up that radiated hash. I wouldn't want to pay 400 or 500 dollars for this radio, but at 239 dollars shipped, it is a good deal. It reminds me of a giant sized Sangean ATS-909, although performance is scaled up a bit. If the display backlight could be changed to yellow, the contrast would improve a bit. Somebody must have been drunk when they implemented that part of the design. Did you adjust the display contrast knob located behind the back tilt door? -- Telamon Ventura, California |
