Well, my Eton 350DL arrived today and I really like it thus far. I
have to go to school so I don't have time to look at it much right
now. Anyway, with the three SW bands, which one would offer the most
tonight when I get home. I will probably take it to bed with me! Also,
I got the silver model and I really like the way it looks, so retro!

This weekend I will have more time to learn it, but I want to jump in
tonight. Any special frequencies you might suggest?

Morning and afternoon: 7-15 MHz
Afternoon: 10-22 MHz
Evening and night: 3-8 MHz

These are just basic. Your best band during evening hours is 5.5-6.5 MHz,
with most of the international broadcasters being there.

Pay no attention to the dip**** here. The 350 is a fine radio for the
money. You could do far worse for a "first radio"!

I have 2 of the earlier model 350s (not DL), and they both work fine.

You have to set the mark used for quoting the message you are responding to.

It appears YOU said all of the above, when you didn't.

Go into your settings and set it now, before you post again..it will

I also have one. It's pretty good. The thing that bothers me the most is
that when you switch the SW bands, it doesn't tune from where you left
off. It puts you on the highest frequency of the next band. I have to
tune all the way down again in the new band to get close to where I was.

Nothing is perfect, but the DL version is a very good radio in it's
price range. Being able to use two sizes of batteries is a bonus when
carrying it around.

Adjust your newsgroup filter to get rid of google groups and gmail
postings. Way too many idiots and spammers using those sources.

Telamon,

The Eton S-350DL Radio has a lot less 'drift'; but on
the Shortwave Radio Bands their still is some 'drift.

The old Grundig S350 Radio was a pain to use on
the Shortwave Radio Bands.

While the newer Eton S-350DL Radio is a step-up
and very usable to enjoy Listening to the Shortwave
Bands.

The Redsun RP2100 Radio is another step-up over
the Eton S-350DL Radio.

hence the old time radio expression "stay tuned" ~ RHF

You have unrealistic expectations of the radio. It is analog tuned with
a variable capacitor just like the old time inexpensive tube radios.
You have to expect it to drift with temperature. Turn it on and let the
temperature of the radio stabilize and as long as the room temperature
does not change the radio should stop drifting.

The DL is supposed to have a frequency locking circuitry that is
supposed to stop it from drifting. I'll go with that thought until
someone reliable posts otherwise.

Universal Radio about 11:30--Perhaps then you will be able to have your
proof. We can talk shortwave, radios, or perhaps respect if you'd like.

I would like to go but it's just a bit to far for a quick jaunt. My
vacation time is dedicated to visiting far flung family and friends.

I have bought several radios from Universal. I have also traded in
equipment with them and always got a fair deal and good service. Who
needs Ebay when you have Universal. Universal has always been my first
choice.

We may not be able to get together but you can always write about what
the hobby means to you in RRS. Since I am a program listener I usually
don't have exciting breaking news for the news group so I tend to answer
questions from other people.

An example of news from me was back a few weeks when RNZ was changing
their schedule daily over a few weeks time. It turned out to be a test
of my sanity. What that they were trying to do was find the best
frequencies and times to broadcast DRM of all things to some pacific
islands. I caught this explanation listening to RNZ a few weeks ago on
their mailbox program.
