Chinese manufacturer, who made most of the Radio Shack SW receivers... and bought the brand when Grundig failed. From the Palo Alto part of China. The parent company is Taiwanese.and they subcontract the manufacturing. Tha article says California-based. The CEO has a Middle Eastern name. ''"Eton is independent of Grundig Germany and is a licensee for Grundig AG shortwave radios in the North American markets, as well as certain markets outside of North America except EEC markets," explained a news release issued shortly after Grundig's April bankruptcy by the Palo Alto, California-based radio firm. "Eton, as an independent company, will continue to supply products and fulfill all obligations to its customers as usual." Eton won't just continue to sell Grundig-branded shortwave radios in North America, but it will likely also remain the continent's dominant player. Thanks to the business savvy of founder, president and CEO Esmail Hozour, Eton has transformed North America into "the one region in the world where Sony is not number one," said Larry Magne, editor-in-chief of Passport to World Band Radio. The company "has taken the market, and walked away with it. They own North America, pure and simple," he said.'' |

Best 'portable' Shortwave Receiver ? Icom IC-75 Communications Receiver -or- Eton E1 AM/FM Shortwave Radio
Oregon Mike,
The one draw back of the Eton E1 Radio is that it does not have a carrying Handle. Suggest that 'if' you are going to be Carrying the Eton E1 Radio around you get a Soft-Case built for a Lap Top Computer. IMHO - It is worth protecting your Investment in this $500 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio. something to think about - e1'ing you all ~ RHF .. . . .. . . .. .. . . Out ! |

I've got a $60.00 Degen DE1103 that has had no QC problems - it works every time. Indeed it is finshed well and the parts fit tightly. At half the price of a Sony it is a steal. The memory system has some limitations inherent with the design, but it works. OTOH I have an Eton hand crank generator radio that feels downright flimsy considering it sells for $40.00 Whether it is of Chinese or Indian origin isn't as important as the wobbly grindy crank generator which feels like it could come apart at the wrong time.

You can add XM for space music for another $40 + a recurring monthly. QSL, I'm looking at the Eton E1 on some sites. Is there a best vendor online/walk-in to look towards for purchasing RCVRs. Universal Radio is selling the E1 for $499.95 from what I can tell. OM You can walk into Universal. Ham Radio Outlet also carries them. I've been to the HRO in Tigard, OR many times and have bought most my rigs from there. Tks, OM |
Best SWL RCVR to buy?
