BD,

Well in your opinion what new 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios
and Table Top Receivers are out-there to compare the Eton E1
Radio to ?

How about comparing it to the older 'real German' Grundigs or the ICF- SW77
for build quality, sensitivity and sound? It would be nice to know how it
measures up to the expensive rigs.

How does it compare with the Kaito and Degen radios?

Much better...no comparison. I've got the Tecsun BCL2000, BCL 3000, Degen
DE-1103 and several others...none even approach the E-1's build quality,
reception or feature set.

I Say them E1's can't hold a candle to many,many old model Radios as far
as build quality is concerned.Hey,those E1's,,,, you are looking at
cheap plastic,which reminds me of Bo Gritz's (or was it Chuck Harder's
radio talk show?) radio talk show he used to have when an old guy said
he sent his Sangean ATS 909 radio back to ccrane when he saw it had a
plastic cabinet.Humph!,two bits worth of cheap melt in the hot sun
plastic!

www.devilfinder.com Virtual tour Eton Radio factory in India

Well,I don't know,,,, there just might be a virtual tour somewhere on
the internet.Did Drake have a virtual tour,or does Ten-Tec or Palstar? I
have worked in factorys before and sometimes there would be some tour
groups touring around.When I was a kid in school,we once toured the Coca
Cola bottleing plant on Highway 80.We got a free Coca Cola and a free
hamburger too.

You can find a cross-comparison between the E1, SW77, Satellit 800, and
'2010 at
http://www.radiointel.com/review-etone1.htm

I just can't see spending that kind of money for that kind of a portable
radio.I think $140.00 (or less) is about what them E1's should be priced
at.Besides,who can afford them anyway?,,, Surely not most people who
live in third World Countries! and most Americans are not going to
gobble them up,,,,, be realistic.

BD,

Build Quailty ?

The 'new' Etón E1 AM/FM Shortwave Receiver with XM Satellite Radio
-=V=- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ETON-E...o/message/1534
The 'older' Grundig Satellit 500 and 700 Radios

I do not know of a 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio being made
today that can compare to the Build Quality of one of the 'old'
Grundig Satellit 500 and 700 Radios.

TBL - The Build Quality of the Etón E1 AM/FM Shortwave Receiver
with XM Satellite Radio is as good as (IMHO Better Than Most)
any Plastic Cases 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio being made
today [.]

But - IMHO - The Performance of the Etón E1 AM/FM Shortwave
Receiver with XM Satellite Radio is 'superior' to both of the
above 'older' Grundig Radios.

FWIW - I do not own a Grundig Satellit 500 and 700 Radios;
and I have only handled and play with (listented to) a Grundig
Satellit 700 Radio for a few hours about a two years ago.
A very impressive Radio. Note - This guy had gone through
three eBay Grundig Satellit 700 Radios to find a keeper.
