Default Eton E1 (in some form or another) to be retained in Eton'sproduct line

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 -


$300 is quite a bit for a radio that from all appearances seems not to
offer any performance-enhancing features beyond what you'd expect from
a DE1103, E5/G5 or a Kaito KA2100? Sure, it has the rotatable MW
antenna, but what else is it offering besides an alternate means of
charging your cellphone (not generally considered a compelling reason
to purchase a shortwave rig).

As for the tabletop HF receiver market, it's an area that's drying up,
as well. It's good that you enjoy your Ten-Tec RX-320D as you do. My
guess is that going forward, SWLers wanting a performance upgrade from
the under-$150 portables (and who want to purchase new) are going to
increasingly be compelled toward considering such computer controlled
radio options, as the premium portable and under-$2000 HF tabletop
receiver markets continue to dry up. Admittedly, there will be those
who will be drawn toward amateur rigs for SWLing.
