Oregon Mike,

The one draw back of the Eton E1 Radio is that it
does not have a carrying Handle.

Suggest that 'if' you are going to be Carrying the
Eton E1 Radio around you get a Soft-Case built
for a Lap Top Computer.

IMHO - It is worth protecting your Investment in
this $500 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio.

something to think about - e1'ing you all ~ RHF

R8B is a big dissapointment too....as with anything made by DRAKE

Yeah, it is essentially the gold standard for AM mode DX, whether
MW or SW.
There is nothing even close to it in this usage, even for several
time the price.


R-390A

Have owned both, and the R8 series is really superior.


Me too.

The 390s have a great noise floor when properly tuned up. Other than that,
a modern PLL receiver has many more features.
The question was about AM mode. There's no bells and whistles on an
R8B that make it better than an R-390A for AM radio.

I'd like to be able to take this wherever while at the same time used
it at home connected to an outdoor antenna array.

The Eton E1. You can add XM for space music for another $40 + a
recurring monthly.


QSL,

I'm looking at the Eton E1 on some sites. Is there a best vendor
online/walk-in to look towards for purchasing RCVRs. Universal Radio
is selling the E1 for $499.95 from what I can tell.


OM

You can walk into Universal. Ham Radio Outlet also carries them.

David Edurado,

Could you be thinking of Sangean Electronics of Taiwan.

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.

To be honest, I would stay away from the high-priced receivers from
Eton/Grundig. Products from that company seem to have more than their
share of quality control problems so if you go with something from them
minimize your risk of loss by buying on the lower end.


Very much an issue with the Satellit 800, which was put together by the
Tecsun folks in China; but I hadn't heard of quality control issues
with the E1, which is put together by your friends at Bharat
Electronics, an Indian manufacturer of defense and civil communications
products. The E1 has been out on the market for a number of months
now... have there been quality control issues to emerge?

This was one reason why I have opted to wait it out a bit before
purchasing an E1: to see if a shakedown was in order. Kept my fingers
crossed that this wouldn't be another Satellit 800, in that regard.
But from all indicators I've seen thus far, the E1 seems consistently
solid in build quality (thankfully).
