My best digital radio
Okay, I'm better at radio reviews than cameras, so here goes:
ETON RADIOS ROCK!!!!! Well, they also provide great, clear talk. Ever since my mis-adventure several years ago with a Sangean provided by a well-known retailer promising great AM reception, I have been hesitant to move from anything analog. As a footnote, the Eton FR400 is an excellent unit and does everything but open cans. I'm going to directly compare this to another recent purchase, a Kaito KA1101.
Eton recharges quickly, fully, while with Kaito you leave it plugged in for hours, and the indicator still does not move.
Speaker quality is far crisper on eton.
Eton has fast and slow tuning, no hair trigger where you can't get one station ... Read More
Mostly a Shortwave overview
I bought this one (the E10), the Grundig/eTon 1100 (around $50), the Grundig/eTon 350 large (field) radio, and the Freeplay wind-up/solar "Summit" shortwave radio. I returned the Freeplay wind-up/solar "Summit" and Grundig 1100 radios because they hardly picked-up one or two Shortwave stations. (By the way: the ease of tuning of the Am and Fm was super on the Grundig 1100). As for the two I kept: This E10 had the same ability to pull in shortwave stations as the '8-10 times larger' Grundig 350 "field radio", but with the 350's much larger speaker, I could hear the stations a little more clearly. But if you want small size, and good shortwave receptivity, the E10 is the choice, for around $100. But don't expect any shortwave radio under $100 ... Read More
Strong Performer on FM and AM with Good Ergonomics
I've toted several radios to my work office, which thanks to thick concrete walls and all sorts of electronic gadgets, is a high-interference nightmare for all my AM/FM reception needs.
The Eton E10 is strong on all bands at home but in my office it gets weak FM. However, its saving grace is its strong AM, which performs even better than my big Grundig S350 and my Kaito 1103.
So I'm using my E10 as my sole AM receiver radio and my Grundig S350 for my FM needs.
For home use, the best PLL dual-conversion radio with presets is hands down the Kaito 1103, which has jaw-dropping FM sensitivity and beats the Eton E10 easily in the FM department. But for AM my E10 has been my strongest performer.
