Okay, Brian. I've seen enough posts about the E1, and
I'm curious about your take on it. Especially compared
to your other receivers in the shack.

I don't know what more I can say about it? It's got tons of features that
actually work and it's extremely sensitive and it sounds good. Its got a
huge memory bank that is very easy to use and I like the scrolling either by
country or freq.. I like that the step button is right by the main tuning
knob and SSB actually works like it should with a functional AGC that's
easily switched from fast/slow/auto and the sync and PBT top notch. It keeps
up pretty well with trusty R-5000 or NRD 525. Thats saying a lot! I only
wish I could hook it to my laptop but It's possible some smart guy will find
a way to tap into it by way of its programming plugs? You guys know I've
owned and repaired ton's of radios and my honest opinion is that it is truly
an above average radio that performs wonderfully. It is what it is " A
portable radio designed to compete with all other portables" and it does
that and a little more. I went and barrowed one from my buddy before I
bought this one and that's what sold me on it, Not the hype. YMMV?

When they get them down to about two hundred dollars,I might think about
buying one.Unless I find one at the Goodwill store I can buy for two or
four dollars.

It sounds like the E1 isn't a DX-ing
machine, but it does a good job at being a top end
portable.

No it actually doe's rather well with faint signals when comparing it to my
tabletop rigs. I think if I piped the signal into my DSP software I would
really have something. It is quite a bit better than my Sat700. I wish I had
a 2010 I could compare it with. Maybe I'll get one of those and see?
