Not Chinese. Indian.

In the morning, at sunrise, three men will arrive at your home in a
white panel van. You will go with them. Do not resist them. You are to
spend the next two months at the Eton Reeducation Facility on the
outskirts of Pocatello, Idaho. Upon your release you will purchase a
third E1. You will love your new E1 and you will express your
satisfaction with it in postings to this group. You will also recall
how much you really dislike the old Sony portables you once owned.

You will begin again.


Was that supposed to be funny, or something ? How cute !

Right you are ! But, if you post anything negative about SW receivers,
this newsgroup will give you a whipping ! Yes, RadioIntel determined
that the Eaton **** E1 is no better than the Sony 2010, or the Grundig
Satellite 800. As a matter of fact, the E1 has a host of problems - the
antenna flops, no handle, no MW or satellite antennas, flimsy
knobs/switches, and does not even receive/process IBOC, or DRM. Since
SW is starting to convert to DRM, and since it is all-or-nothing, the
E1 will eventualy be receiving nothing. Grundig Chinese-made radios
are absolute cheap plastic garbage; there has not been a decent radio
made, since the Sony 2010, or the DX-440, both of which are much better
quality than the E1, at $500. The E1 is assembled in India, but it is
still under slave-wages; Grundig used to be made in Germany, which they
want consumers to still think, but the sleazy Tecsun/Eton bought the
rights to market products under the Grundig name.

Hold on, here comes the crowd (RHF and BH) !

As you may well know, another "feature" of the E1 is that the batteries
used to blow up, when used with the AC adaptor ! Eton had to recall
this plain-jane, quality $500 receiver. Got to love it - funny stuff !
