Assuming you meant to type E1,
I wasn't aware of their marketing nor the nay saying in forums like this
when I decided on one. I saw it at the local HRO back in 2005 when in
there on other business, read the white paper from PtWBR, and decided to
go with it.
Because of its digital display the slight factory frequency calibration
error was more noticeable, so being a bit nit picky I took it back for
another that was within published specs, then had to swap again later
when I got the XM antenna and couldn't get an initialization handshake,
but third time was the charm and I really like it. I probably could have
gotten by with the first one had I known about the osc tweak hole on the
back.
Only later did I subscribe to this group and observe such a collection
of disgruntled owners, if they were indeed owners and not just sour
grape whiners.


- I think Roy (Hussein) Fisk has one
- and he never complains about it.
