Or just be happy with my Sony 2010 which works fine. If I can find a new one, or a refurbished one for $300.00 would that be a good deal? A Shortwave Radio as very good {exceptional} as the Eton "E1" with the XM 'Satellite' Option being distributed by the Eton Corp {Grundig NA] and using the "Eton" Brand Name -imho- Would not sell as well as a the same Shortwave Radio using the "Grundig: and "Satellit" Brand Names without the XM 'Satellite' Option* * Since by using the true Grundig "Satellit" Brand Name Eton Corp would not have to try an end-around by offereing an *XM 'Satellite' Option in order to work the name 'Satellit'e into the product name. Had the Eton "E1" with the XM 'Satellite' Option been named the Grundig Satellit 900 Radio it's sales would have been significantly greater; simply because of the Grundig Satellit Brand Name and the 'myth' of the soon-to-be {but-never-was} Grundig Satellit 900 Radio. But then too look at the Grundig Satellit 800-M Radio which only had a 3~5 Year Production Run. Consumer Electronics* is a 1~3~5 Product Churn Market with a constant need to be offering some thing that is New and Impoved {Exciting} to Capture the Buyer's Interest and Imagination in a Highly Competitive Market Place. * The Latest Toy with the Most Bells and Whistles $500 Shortwave Radio = $500 Lap-Top = $500 HDTV etc... The death of the Eton 'E1' Shortwave Radio was the introduction of the Grundig Satellit 750 Shortwave Radio -by- Eton Corp : In with the latest new and exciting -and- out with the old . . . Sad fact is more people under the age of 25 in the USA know who Joe Biden is; than have heard of Shortwave Radio. *Shortwave Radio is a dying {some say dead} Consumer Electronics Market. Hey . . . may be Apple with be coming out with an iWave Radio . . . n a h . . . ~ RHF *. *. Don't compare apples with oranges! |
