Two very different types of radios. What do you intend to
predominantly listen to on your new radio?

Certainly MW & HF, but the VHF bands are of some interest. Also the R-20
seems to have a bit more capability not withstanding the smaller size.


If is a Walking Around Radio that you are looking for :
Then pick the Icom R20. The Eton E1 Radio is far from
a walking around Radio; plus it has no handle. ~ RHF
