E1 Vanishes From The Source
 

The Source (Radio Shack in Canada) now has no listing for the E1. While
it was listed before as a "net only" purchase, it has now vanished
altogether! Even trying a link RHF posted last month turns up "The page
you are looking for is not found". Yet they still show the Sat 800
available (which it is in severely limited quantities).

Sold out or no longer interested in trying to sell a $600-$700 radio?

Is the Canadian Radio Shack a Sirius Satellite dealer?

If it's really Radio Shack, maybe corporate had something to do with it.
Radio Shack (US) sells only Sirius equipment.

Both systems. Sirius and XM.

Why would they care? As it comes from the factory, it is NOT capable of
picking up XM anyway...

So why doesn't Radio Shack sell the best consumer radio on the market?
They sell other Etons.

Frankly, I think the E1 is a little more "high end" than most of the
stuff they sell...probably figure it is too expensive for their regular
customers. They never carried the Satellit 800 to my knowlege, so it
kind of makes sense they wouldn't carry this one, either.

They do sell the windup radios though,at least in this area Radio Shack
does.

If you look at their sat radio stuff, there is no XM equipment. At least
any ads I've seen since I became interested, Radio Shack seems locked into
Sirius, to the exclusion of anything that could be directly linked to
receiving XM broadcasts. Too bad, because they miss out on the E1, plus
the Porsche Design Etons (p7131 & p7132). Any other Etons don't compete
with the tie to Sirius.

Invader3k made a good point, too. The E1 really doesn't fit in with the
price scheme of the other electronics Radio Shack sells. It's not exactly
the prime source for getting the best in home theater or shortwave
equipment. Their market is closer to entry level.
