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 On Jan 12, 7:50 am, Steve wrote: 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 - - Show 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 http://www.mwcircle.org/images/resources/sw8_front.jpg http://www.mwcircle.org/images/resou...comparison.jpg . 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. Take another hit on the pipe and go to bed. Don't let the door hit you in the fanny on the way out. Door? |
