They must have changed their mind since they put the add for the
Satellit 1000 behind the front cover of the 2008 Passport. No mention
of the G1 or 1000 on the Eton website.....but the E1 is still there.

Despite what the naysayers say, there still seems to be a lot of activity in the
world of SW.

Well, according to the Passband.com article, Eton's Walter Hess
confirmed only that the Eton E1 was being discontinued. He was
evidently not in a position to comment on the Grundig Satellit 1000 /
G1.

As the shortwave radio selections on the Eton website seem to indicate
a shift away from Eton branding toward Grundig branding, my guess is
that the Eton E1 will soon re-emerge as either the Grundig Satellite
1000 or G1.

====================

I was never comfortable with the quality control in manufacturing of the E1
and resisted purchasing one. It maybe a very fine reciever but I jut do not
like a history of questionable construction and a large number of failures
as demonstrated in this NG and elsewhere. Too bad.

Both the Grundig and Eton names will suffer especially as their equipment is
built in China that simply does not have any substantial quality to any of
their produced products. I trust products made in Japan, Malaysia and to a
degree India before China, but would much rather see same made in the US or
Canada.

I opted for the Icom R20 instead.
