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. |
