Default what portable to buy

E1's dont even have an AM antenna,or so I understand.In my opinion,them
E1's are wayyyyyyy over priced.Too Much Money For The Amount Of
Bread.They are not worth it.I will buy one for two or three dollars if
one shows up at the Goodwill thrift store six tenths of a mile South
(South is always best) of me,waiting on me.

Funny how no one ever complained about the Drake not having a ferrit MW
antenna.

Reviews show that the whip antenna works quite well on AM (MW) unless
there is too much interference that you can null with a directional
antenna. The advantage of using a whip is that you don't have to turn
the radio for your local MW stations, which can be a big plus for some.
As far as the price -- the same as the Grundig Satellit 500 and 700,
yet has many more features. Pay a cheap price and get a cheap radio.
As far as the E1 being way over priced -- find another NEW radio with
its features for a lower price. You can't. The E1 has some features
that some expensive table tops don't have. I hope to get an E1 when
Universal Radio starts selling factory refurbs. Funny how Sony 2010
refurbs never showed up. Yet when it came out, it was one of the most
problem radios you could buy. I had one and got rid of it quick. The
ones sent back to the factory probably were sold again as new.

A radio,any radio,isn't worth it's salt if it doesn't have a built in
antenna for AM,if such a radio supposedly has an AM band.

I wonder how difficult it would be to mod an Eton E1 in order to add a ferrite bar antenna.

Whatever kind of or brand name of table model radio or portable radio
someone mentions,somebody is going to come along and knock it.I like
Chevrolets,somebody will say Ford or Dodge is better.I owm many,many
different kinds of radios of all sizes and a lot of different brand
names.I own two Ford vehicles two Chevrolets,one Dodge vehicle,two
Willys Jeeps,one made in Germany Moped (it has bicycle pedals on it)
Everything I own,regardless of whatever brand names,somebody will say
their off the wall brand name whatever is better.If I had the money,I
would buy a Watkins Johnson Radio,yet somebody says Watkins Johnson
Radios aren't all that good.Life sure is funny.
