Eton E100 now available in Canada
 

The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) has included an order form for the E100
in their current mailing. This is for HBC account holders only but it
indicates that the radio is now being shipped and should be generally
available soon. The radio is quite attractive in a silver finish and
has all the usual digital controls including 200 progammable presets.
It is priced at C$99.99. If you want to beat the Xmas rush account
holders can order by phone: 1-800-268-7436 or Toronto (905)-840-4141.

Is there some reason I should be excited?

Note that this post was of interest to Canadians and said so in the
heading. If you are aroused enough to post a snarky response thatis
reason enough. I am sorry that every posting does not meet your needs
and interests, but that is life. Get used to it.

Where is the E100 being made? In the US or China?

It's the same radio as the Chinese Tecsun PL-200. Which is much much cheaper on eBay.
I have one, I love it.

Caveat: The Eton version may or may not charge NiMH batteries
in the radio. The Tecsun does so, with a step up transformer. It uses 220v, the Eton
for North America will be built for the proper voltage here. And the Eton looks
better with a revamped case. Let's not forget the Eton will come with a US warranty,
whereas the Tecsun would require the hassle of shipping back to China if it needed
replacement.
My personal preference, due to the price difference and excellent service I've had
from Liypn, would be a purchase of the Tecsun. I've bought 3 radios from him with
no problems.
The pretty case and proper North American voltage are not worth the extra cost...
to me.... others will want the security of the warranty and be willing to spend the money.
http://stores.ebay.com/V-COM-COLLECTIONS click the "radio" link on the left, then
scroll for the PL-200. $62 shipped... 7-10 day delivery I got a red one.

And the portable section of www.universal-radio.com
(note the dash) shows all kinds of interesting things
coming in the Autumn.
I'd wait for the other models
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable.html
some renamed at the Canadian Radio Shack now that they
are owned by ??, and not the U.S. Radio Shack.

The E10 from Eton looks more interesting but I want
4 or more 'wakeup alarm' like the Sony 2010 rather than
two http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0110.html

Eton 100 at
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0100.html
is USD $100 there or CAD$128, so cheaper in Canada.
