I would think they would have used one of the world satellite radio
broadcasters, rather than XM.. or maybe in addition to.. this rather
restricts their market for this radio.

It's not a very pretty radio. Buttons look small. Knobs on left side
look they were stuck on the very edge of the radio like an after
thought.

BA,

ETON Corp. is Licensed to 'market' GRUNDIG Brand Name Radios in the
North American Market. "XM" or 'Sirius' makes sense for this specific
marketing area. But not for the "Rest-of-the-World".

True, but ETON is not marketing this radio as a Grundig, therefor it's
market needn't necessarily be restricted to N. America (and, in fact, at
this point, to the US, since XM is not available to Canada or Mexico at this
point).

Why?

I've got several radios (with no quality control problems) that do everything
that radio is claimed to do except cost me $10 a month every month for as
long as I live (subject to increased monthly fee and not guaranteed to be
around in three years)?

Plus my RX-320 has a 12" LCD display.

The future of radio, especially shortwave radio, is cutting costs. I
suppose DRM would be helpful to the extent that it would reduce the
electric bill at the transmitter.

Most broadcasters have found cutbacks in languages and programming
effective cost cutters. Some have pulled the plug on SW broadcasting.

Dave Frantz of WWRB likes SSB for reduced transmission costs.

And, of course, the "fact" that the feds are monitoring everyone on the
Internet so that the guv'ment can track down all of us spurious individuals
with Operation NotShortWave.

Also, acoording to our usual stoned sources, there is an upcoming event which
will be one of the most horrible things that has ever happened and from which
no one will recover, if our sources are to be trusted when they're babbling
like a mountain stream.


Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the grid: Y3K is on the way.
You'd best prepare now so that you won't be desperate when the new millennia
gets closer.

Also, Planet Y is getting closer and, even as I (attempt to) type this
missive there are rumors afoot (if not at hand) that Planet Z is hurtling
this way.

The Feds, the New World Order and Satan. Of course, that could be a
distinction without a difference.

No doubt. It's already happened about a dozen times already. And
that's just for 2003!

The new Eton E1 XM would be perfect for the remainder of this bleak
millennium, if it only had a wind up crank!

One can only imagine the terrors yet to come after the Y4K crisis. And
the most terrific imaginations will be found on Shortwave Radio!!

Sounds like he's putting his money where his extremely active mouth is.
I've heard the NWO intends to reduce the population by 50% or more! How
many of us are fit to belly laugh that scheme off?
