Eton is becoming a big distributor of shortwave radios. Will they be
the survivor as companies like Sony pull out of shortwave radio
production? The latest Passport to World Band Radio may give some
indicaTION. It was chock full of advertisements for Eton...the same 3
advertisements repated page after page after page, but no others that I
remember. Is PBWR owned by Eton???

I rather doubt that PWBR is owned by Eton, however they obviously purchase a lot
of advertising.

Why not ask Larry himself?

Tongue in cheek comment. Still I was taken aback by the repetitive
advertising by one company. Almost every third page was a full page ad
by Eton - over and over. Made me think of the magazine Pentax once
published. It contained good information on photography, but lots of
Pentax ads too.

This is nothing new in Passport. Grundig Corp. (=Eton) has had repetitive,
full color ads throughout Passport for the last few years.

Eton = Grundig.

Based on the tecsun versions of the E10 and E100, those are way overpriced.
