Thanks for the input. I would think location has something to do
with it, but this radio gets nice reviews. Now the latest review @
Amazon-either the guy doesn't have his filters, switches etc.
finessed or he got a lemon. I'd send it back. I want to wait to get
it-at the end of January, free and clear-not throw one last thing on
plastic as it gets paid off-but what the heck I just may.

When I do I'll post my thoughts and my location (s/e Louisiana, 47
miles from the Gulf Coast.

Reviews have been generally good on this receiver, but mixed. Eton has
gotten much of its QC problems under control, so the number of poor
production units is greatly reduced from their first releases in this
country, but make no mistake, this is not a Drake.

And documentation is thin, so service has to be done by Eton. Self
service manuals are not available.

Now, that said, the feature set is good. The design has an eye pleasing
quality, and the radio is a decent radio, as far as it goes.

For the money, you could do a lot worse.
