I was not able to try out the E10 and E100 but the plastic of the case
was a little unusual in the touch and feel department. Felt a little
rubbery and slightly sticky instead of smooth. This would definitely
help holding on to the unit and is a good idea. I was not able to try
them out though because neither had batteries in them. The buttons on
the E10 and E100 had good tactile feel to them.

The S350 had batteries in it and I though it worked pretty good. It was
early afternoon and I was in the back of the store where the unit was
picking up several stations in the 9 and 11 MHz bands so the
sensitivity must be good. The unit had good sound also. I played with
the controls and found it could vary the sound quality to a significant
degree so I would expect most people could get the unit to sound the
way they like it.

I found two negatives on this unit. The tuning was touchy and it was
not easy to get the display to read to the kilohertz I wanted to tune
it too. The slow tuning gear needs to be slower for me to be happy with
it. The other negative is it drifted in short amount of time.

I just played with the unit for a few minutes and basically liked it. I
understand it is single conversion and night time listening with many
strong signals on the 6 MHz band might not be great.

There is an updated version the S350 Deluxe that has "AM/SW frequency
lock" but I can't find an updated manual that describes it. The Deluxe
version costs the same and I remember reading the drifting was
decreased.
