Take a look at Universal's prices on the Icom R75, Yaesu FRG-100B,
Palstar R30 and Satellit 800. All of these tabletops are available for
$600 or less. As far as portables are concerned, the humble yet
dependable Sangean ATS-909 is available for a mere $240. I don't know
what Universal is selling the Sony ICF-SW07 for, but I'm sure it's
less than $500 and the 07 will probably eat the E1 for breakfast on the
SW bands. There are other alternatives as well, both new and used.
