He's referring to the Eton E1, I'd gather from his description.

The best portable since the dxAce GE Superadio 1

1700 presets? Why?



If you've ever suffered the pain and anguish of only 1699 presets you
wouldn't be asking why. Hardly a day goes by when I don't regret my
earlier decision.

If only I had that *one* extra preset option, my life would be complete.

This radio has it all! It has every high tech reception aid available
I.e. sync detector that really works, passband tuning,and three band
widths. As a swler for over 20 years the only thing that could do
better is a table top that would cost you over $1000.00. As for all
other aspects of the radio it does fantastic! Also the xm is thrown in
to boot. the only thing i found was the external antenna connetion
gets warm not very but noticeable. Over all the radio gives you great
bang for your buck! I use mine every day with great results!

Thank you David. I'd say best portable ever & I've been DXing since
1965. Have heard on it many Latin Americans & Africans below 8 MHZ with
just the whip. And on MW (AM BCB), during Oct, had audio on 28
Trans-Atlantic frequencies- Europe, Africa & Middle East, using the
small Radio Shack loop. George S., MN

I think 111 memory pages each have country name for up to 10
frequencies, plus there are 500 alpha-numeric frequencies where one
could enter station & time or whatever, & on those the settings are
remembered like sync on/off, AM, LSB or USB, bandwidth, even PBT
offset. I actually hope to use most of the presets, they stay stored
indefinitely. George S., MN

No one does 'serious DXing' with a portable.

Please, stop making me laugh.

I got Kampuchea, Columbia and Deutche Welle in one week (on cassette)
on a Rat Shack Sangean clone ten years ago just doing casual SWL.

Too bad it was stolen shortly afterward with the tape.
