I'm sure Eton wants this thing to be a success. I'd like it to succeed
too, for that matter, as it would help the hobby. However, in my opinion, if Eton really wants the E1 to succeed, they should bring the price down....and I mean WAY down. When I could buy an RX-320D for around $350, it's awfully hard for me to rationalize buying the E1 unless I just really, really need portability. And I don't think there are very many people out there who need the portability so badly that they'd spend that much more money for what is ultimately a lesser receiver. Given what the E1 promises to deliver in the way of performance, I think it should go for around $250 and certainly not for more than $300. I mean, at the end of the day this receiver is a portable. It's not an R8B; it's not a 7030+; it's not an HF-150. It's a portable receiver with some extra doodads tacked on. I'd be willing to bet that my Sony SW77 could run rings around it on shortwave, but I hope I'm wrong. Steve |
