Default Eton E1 (in some form or another) to be retained in Eton's productline

Dear Steve,

I absolutely agree with you about your desires between a portable and
a tabletop. Though there is probably a place for something like the
Eton E1, why, if it is a portable, does it have no handle? And why, if
it's meant to be a serious (no pun intended) radio, does it have only
one external antenna input and a weird one at that?

And why such poor quality control after several years of production?

It's not for me!

Best,

Joe

Interesting. There was someone on the yahoo E1 group a while back who
was talking about how sales of the E1 and its variants were lagging
far behind Eton's sales projections. At the time I thought this
sounded pretty ominous, but of course this person was silenced
immediately.
My guess is that there are many more people interested in owning a
radio like the 750 than the E1 and/or E1XM. If I want the sorts of
features sported by the E1, I'll buy a tabletop receiver. For a
portable, I want something lean and relatively simple.- Hide quoted text -

IMHO - If Eton Corp or anyone else were to "Re-Do"
the Eton E1 Radio in a more traditional Desk-Top Box
like the Drake SW8 : It would sell twice as good ~ RHF

Give up! There will be no more new HF hobbyist tabletop receivers.
There is no more audience. There is no more market. The world has
moved on.
