Eton won some awards for the upcoming 2004 Consumer Electronics Show.

One of them is for the Eton E1 XM. Here's the blurb from their press
release:

linked he http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031215/sfm106_1.html
------------------------------------------------
A winner in the personal electronics category, the Eton E1 XM is the
first
product to combine four radio technologies -- AM/FM/Shortwave/XM
Satellite
radio -- resulting in the finest full-sized, all-in-one portable world
radio
ever. Equipped with Dual Conversion Superheterodyne Circuitry and
capable of
receiving Continuous Shortwave including Selectable Single Sideband, its
performance and sensitivity are peerless. The 5.7 inch backlit
dot-matrix
display, 1700 station presets, and five tuning methods make the E1 XM's
extraordinary capabilities accessible to serious enthusiasts and casual
listeners alike.

No price information I can find yet....

The Eton E1 XM is the world's first radio that combines AM, FM,
Shortwave, and XM Satellite radio into one ultra high-performance
unit. In development for more than 10 years in collaboration with RL
Drake Company and XM Satellite Radio, the E1 is simply the finest
full-sized portable in the world.

It has either XM or DAB capabilities, depending on your zone.

Bringing this over from the 900 group:

Hello,

From Grundig/Eton:

1. XM Satellite Radio or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) Ready

(The XM antenna had better be built in)

2. Continuous Shortwave with Selectable Single Sideband (SSB)
Reception

(Alright!)

3. Dual Conversion Superheterodyne Circuit Design

(Hopefully, balanced mixers are used)

4. Digitally Synthesized PLL Tuner with Synchronous Detector Two (TM)

(Yes Virginia, the radio has Synchronous Detection! Sideband
Selectable?)

5. Passband Tuning and Selectable Bandwidth Filters

(Passband tuning! In a portable?!? What a deal! Awesome!)

6. 1700 Station Presets with Memory Scan Function

7. 5.7" Oversized Illuminated Multi-Function Dot-Matrix LCD Screen

(Adjustable contrast / brightness?)

8. FM RDS

9. Stereo Line-Level Audio Inputs/Outputs and External Antenna
Connections

10. Dual Clocks and Programmable Timers

11. Digital Signal Processing Enhanced

12. Separate Bass and Treble Controls

Dimensions: 13.1"W x 7.1"H x 2.3"D

(Kinda big, but I can deal with it)

Weight: 4lbs. (approx.)

- Availability: To be announced at CES 2004

- Price: To be announced at CES 2004

Does it recharge batteries?

All I can say is - whoa! If this radio truly materializes and the FM
section is great (has balanced mixers and 2 or 3 IF filters) this is
going to be the radio of the year if not the decade. Unless this
radio takes off HUGE, I can't imagine that anyone else is going to do
anything like this again.

Best regards,

Paul Bigelow

You're right, it looks fantastic on paper, but I wait with bated breath to
see what the QC on this unit is like.

Looks like it could be a worthy replacement for the Sony-2010 with some
new features too.

DAVID,

"XM Satellite Radio or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) Ready"
= = = GoTo= http://www.etoncorp.com/asp/3CESAwards.asp

I remember when TV first came out (in the early 1950s) an some
Radios were marketed with a feature touted as "Ready for TV".

Simply an "RCA Audio Input Jack" to 'connect' the TV Mono-Sound.

IF... all this means is that there is a simple Output 'connecter' for
an outboard XM & DAB Processor (Home PC). Then This Is "No Big Deal".

A "TRUE" XM & DAB Receiver will have the Processor Built into the radio.
(NO External Devises Require - Except a Pair of Stereo Speakers.)

I would hope that the XM & DAB functions are Built-In-To this Receiver.

It ain't going to give you anything but the 7 random sample channels
unless you subscribe. I don't think you need to add a card or
anything.

All will be revealed at the Porno Convention...er, CES.
