This is an exciting radio. If they were able to add DRM reception,
this would be a superb choice for the future of 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. On Wed, 17 Dec 2003 13:47:49 +0900, "Brenda Ann" wrote: "Fredric J. Einstein" wrote in message ws.com...

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.

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:
ADVERTISEMENT 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.

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. atmo ~ RHF = = = And Thats My Opinion ! .. .. = = = David = = = wrote in message . ..

I sure wish I could invest in that sort of gee-whiz American technology. Not like Enron, the DotComs, Worldcom, whatever. Good 'ol HAARP delivers on it's promises, and. more. Now that I consider my lifestyle, HAARP may have a big chunk of my cash which has completely slipped my mind. Damn.

Gray Unanimous? That'll be a bit of a dissapointment around here. There are stories of precincts that have delivered more votes for the winner than there were registered voters. Maybe some of the precinct captains will figure a way to program the new Diebold voting machines to deliver a super unanimous vote, just for old times' sake. Frank Dresser |

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. Looks like it could be a worthy replacement for the Sony-2010 with some new features too. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
