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.
