Default Best SWL RCVR to buy?

David Edurado,

Could you be thinking of Sangean Electronics of Taiwan.
SANGEAN = http://www.sangean.com/profile.html

Vice the Eton Corp. (formerly Lextronics)
Eton Corp. which now trades as Grunding North America. See

The Grundig name for Shortwave in the USA is
licenced by Eton Corporation in Palo Alto, CA.

Who is "Eton" (Corp.) and where did they come from ?
Report from Dr. Kim Andrew Elliott of the Voice of America
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld3068.txt
"Esmail Hozour, president of Eton, told me that the Grundig shortwave
radios are developed by Eton and its partners "99 percent
independently" of Grundig in Germany."

Esmail Amid-Hozour, Eton Corporation, Palo Alto, USA
Just met Dr Esmail Hozour again after many years. He used to run
Grundig North America. He is now CEO of Eton Corporation (Eton is Greek
for solid) and bringing out a whole series of new radios, many made in
Bangalore, India. It is the first time I have seen this type of quality
out of India. Eton believe in DAB as well as XM and Sirius, but are
taking a wait and see approach to DRM technology.
