Brian's Basement http://webpages.charter.net/brianhill/6.htm Brian's Radio Universe http://webpages.charter.net/brianhill/500.htm I noticed that last year too. That Eton continues to be the shortwave radio advertiser in PWBR says a lot about how this hobby has shrunk. It also makes me wonder how they can give an independent opinion about Eton products given that most of their ad revenue comes from Eton. |

They had no problem ripping the S350 a new one for shortwave performance. About the only good thing they said about it was that it had good sound. --Mike L. |

Designating the 350 Editors Choice isn't exactly comparable to having a new hole ripped in ones posterior. |

Designating the 350 Editors Choice isn't exactly comparable to having a new hole ripped in ones posterior. Where it counts, it did. The review admitted that the 350 got the editor's choice because it had the best audio south of a Sat 800, not because it was a single conversion powerhouse. In the shortwave reception department, the improvement from 2005 to 2006 was that it's a bit more stable, but it still has images and in the modern day and age, a $150 single conversion receiver is a bit cheap. Hell, my DX-440 is a double conversion receiver, and it ran for $199 (or $149 on sale) back in 1989, with (nowadays) older technology. The fact that in the guts of the receiver the only thing going for it are looks and sound does not bode well. You take away the sound, you take away the Editor's Choice designation. --Mike L. |

Yes, that's a good question, isn't it? I know the Monitoring Times
reveiw of the E1, although it was postive, was nowhere near as positive as the one in Passport. |
