    Solid radio, just a few inconveniences
    Overall, this is a fine radio that has pretty much worked better than any other one I’ve owned. That being said, I have a few nitpicks that were just annoying enough for me to give it 3 stars. As soon as I opened the box, I immediately heard something small rattling inside the radio. It’s probably a small piece of plastic that got loose, but it’s not great coming from a brand new radio. Next, the strap almost instantly loosened and fell off, and I’m not sure how to get it back on. Lastly, I don’t understand why they made this thing beep any time you push any button, but again, I think it’s a bit annoying. These are super minor things, but in my opinion, all of them combined justify the 3 stars.Update: I must have not read the manual well enough, because if you hold the "alarm" button while the radio is off, you can get rid of the beeping noise.

      I bought this radio while drunk-shopping on Amazon. The next morning when I got the "it has shipped" alert, it was my intention to send it back as the last thing I need is yet another radio but, since the seller shouldn't be held hostage to my whims and irresponsibility, I opened the radio to give it a fair try-out to make a proper decision. I'm glad I did as it's a really good one and I will be keeping it. I paid $80+$5 'tax'.

      I'll be comparing this to my Tecsun PL-880 as that is considered a very good receiver and has served me well, although at nearly twice the cost. MW (AM) and SW are pretty much neck-and-neck in reception with the Eton, maybe, having the slightest advantage over the PL-880. Obviously, the Eton does not have SSB and the PL-880 does. That's okay. I have other radios (Alinco SR8T, PL-880, GE 7-2990A) that cover that spectrum should I choose to venture off into the side band world which is mostly just boring old guys rattling on incessantly about their radio equipment and complaining about new Ham's. The Eton has a wide band/narrow band switch and with the bass and treble controls, you can really dial in the sound for your ears which is great for someone with tinnitus and deafness at 8 kHz (wear ear plugs, kids). I'm near Dallas/Ft. Worth and we have one of the largest markets in the world so there is no shortage of stations, close or far, to try and search for. Unfortunately, my physical location and the radiant barrier in my house causes SW to be hit-or-miss but, still, the few stations I can get came in as well as possible using the stock aerial. I haven't tried it with a long wire yet although I did connect it to my outside GMRS base antenna got a few of the closer SW stations in a bit clearer so the antenna connection does work.

      FM reception is fantastic with this radio, easily surpassing the PL-880. In scan, the PL-880 has a tendency to stop on dead-air stations which the Eaton filters out. I didn't even extend the aerial, just raised it into position, and it was pulling in stations very well. Connected to my external GMRS antenna about 18' in the air outside my house caused the Eton radio to pull in crazy amounts of FM stations. It's quite the FM DX'er.

      The bluetooth connection on the Eton is quite nice. Presently I have my iPhone paired streaming a station. No problems, it hooked right up and sounds great. It only receives, not transmits.

      The instructions on the Eton were just fine and easy to read. About 10 minutes of unpacking, and scanning the little manual and I felt like I was a pro with this radio.

      It runs on 4 D batteries so with moderate volume control and reduced bass response, they should last for a very long time. I don't have a time frame on this one, yet, but in my GE which uses the same 4D setup, the batteries went bad before they went dead, probably about 8 years. Of course, when not in use I do not store alkaline's in any equipment, leaving them in a container beside my radio which was fortunate since they started leaking. I, typically, don't like digital displays as they trickle-drain batteries but this Eton seems to be okay, completely blacking out the screen when not in use - as long as you flip the 'display off' switch on the side - although you can still faintly see the time and battery meter. Time will tell how long a set of batteries last. It would be nice to be able to charge a set of rechargeable batteries though the radio if plugged in with the wart but not so with this radio. The PL-880 uses a single 18650 battery recharged though the side with a 5v wart or battery back.

      The tuning on this radio is a bit clunky and annoying. The knob does not have a recess for your finger allowing you to be able to spin without your finger slipping off when using fine tune and the fast tune is just meh. It some sort of geared mechanism but not very smooth and can be a little jerky. It appears the best way to tune this radio is by using the up/down arrows (hold for 1 second and let go). Also, it doesn't have a continuous scan, stopping on every station and forcing you press the arrow again to start a new scan. The PL-880 has a 5 second hold on the scan and moves to the next station.

      This radio has 10 presets per selection. Really? 10 presets? There is also no auto search (which why would there be with just 10 presets?) so if you take it to a new area, you can't automatically scan the waves and load the stations in that area.

      I really like this radio as it feels good in the hand and it sounds fantastic. An included protective case would be nice although I see the one for this radio is here on Amazon for an additional $40+. I do recommend this radio, highly.

      This is one fantastic radio. I have many radios, mostly for AM Dxing, and all have there positives and negatives, and this radio is no different in those respects.

      I purchased this radio based off reviews that stated this was the portable radio to get for FM Dxing. Well, the good news is, this machine is absolutely incredible for FM reception. For all of you out there, looking for a portable FM DXing machine, look no further. This beats both my CC radio 3 and CC radio EP pro. The 48" dipole antenna definitely helps pull in those distant stations.

      For AM, it's just OK (to be fair, I have not spent much time on the AM with this radio, as the FM is just that good). It still does a good job on medium wave, but there are other units specifically made for AM reception, that will do much better.
      On shortwave, this radio does a fantastic job. It's definitely above average for a portable shortwave radio.

      Sound is fine, but lacking in low end bass. You will be treated to mid bass, but for anything lower, forget it. Highs are crystal clear, and has no problems with voice tones. The radio comes with a very unique speaker design. I would have much preferred the old fashion 5" driver, but Eton decided to go this route, possibly for weight savings. My only gripe is I wish it had a more powerful amplifier. I have found myself at full volume, and and wanting more audio output. This is one area I think Eton could be improved upon.

      The aesthetics of the radio are very nice. The layout is clean, the knobs and switches are positioned well. My only gripe is the power button needs to be pressed twice. This may be a feature, in case you accidentally hit it when fiddling around (which I have done a few times).

      It has many features I have not tried out yet. I do like the fact it has connections on the back for external antennas.

      My radio did come with a bit of minor damage during shipping. The speaker grill has a small indent from rough handling. Very hard to see, so I'm keeping it.

      My first Eton radio after seeing them and hearing how good their portable radios are....I finally got this Eton Elite Field AM/FM/SW radio. Sound qualities are very good with one decent-sized speaker and it has bass and treble control knobs along with the volume control knob. It has lots of buttons, knobs and more buttons on it....some of which I will never use like the sleep functions. It has a easy to read digital tuning display with a warm orange background and I really like this radio. Plays well, AM reception is not the greatest during the day and a bit better at night time. FM reception is excellent and this radio comes with a very long.....if I had to guess....a 30 inch whip antenna for FM and 3 SW bands....good idea for better reception on those bands. It has a pleather or leather carrying handle on top and is a bit larger than I expected....but that's good in my case. I wanted a decent-sized portable radio I can use in my office on my desk, so this works excellent. SW reception is so-so, but I have not really tried much there. I got it mostly for FM. It appears this radio has a digital fine tuning knob with the regular tuning knob and it's pretty precise. It does use batteries, but I am using the included AC cord right now on this radio. I'd rate this wonderful Eton portable radio 4 stars overall mostly due to poor AM radio reception and some controls seems complicted to me.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente opción de radio, para diexismo y uso local

      ¿Recuerdan esos boombox de los 80's? Esta radio es como esos aparatos. La recepción de radio es excelente, en onda corta es mejorable pero usando las antenas externas se puede mejorar. El uso de Bluetooth es bueno, pero mejorable y depende mucho del dispositivo. Estéticamente me encanta su estilo de aparato militar, se siente sólido y firme y las perillas están bien colocadas. El sonido no es decepcionante, es de hecho muy claro y nítido y tiene buen volumen, sobretodo el sonido estéreo si es distinguible a pesar de tener un parlante.
      Contras: en batería no dura mucho, se recomiendan baterías recargables. El adaptador de corriente es enorme y con un cable corto, es ventaja que sea un adaptador especial para filtrar el posible ruido producido por la corriente eléctrica. Cambiar de frecuencia, sobretodo en onda corta, puede ser un tedio solo con las perillas, pero con paciencia se aprende a aprovechar las ventajas de la memoria. Por cierto, la memoria es de 10 estaciones por banda, lo que me parece muy corto considerando que hay radios portátiles que guardan hasta 500 estaciones en memoria. Finalmente la radio pesa un tanto, no es absolutamente portátil.
      En fin, si eres diexista y buscas una radio que además para diexismo sea para escuchar radio local o usarlo con Bluetooth o auxiliar y que además se ve muy mono como radio en una estantería o en una mesa y cuyo sonido es muy bueno: está es tu opción, no es decepcionante.

      Resultó ser un poco más grande de lo que yo esperaba, me recuerda mi vieja radio grabadora de los 80's.
      Lo primero que hice, después de leer el manual, fue colocar 4 baterías alcalinas tamaño D, y comenzar a buscar el mejor lugar de recepción FM. Cómo era de esperarse, funciona mejor cerca de las ventanas, pero extendiendo totalmente la antena telescópica integrada la recepción es excelente prácticamente en toda la casa. Aún no he hecho una prueba de duración de las baterías.
      Luego hice una prueba con el BT. Funcionó a la primera, tanto con el teléfono celular Android como con Fedora Linux. Probé con música chochentera, con ecualización plana. Excelente sonido: bajos sin distorsión, agudos muy claros. Quizá alguno considere que le falta más potencia, pero yo prefiero no molestar a los vecinos (y que no me molesten a mi).
      En cuanto a la recepción de onda corta, la antena interconstruída hace un buen trabajo, pero como todo radio de onda corta, lo mejor es utilizar una antena externa. Ya estoy trabajando en ello.
      Un gran radio, con BT, a un buen precio.
      UPDATE: Construí la antena para SWL (Shortwave Listening) de Dirk Rijmenants. Con todo y que terminó siendo una configuración lejos de ser óptima, el resultado ha sido por demás satisfactorio. La recepción ha sido buena tanto de día como de noche. Desafortunadamente mi estación favorita ha dejado de transmitir en onda corta. Pero no todo se ha perdido: ahora la escucho vía Internet utilizando el modo Bluetooth.
      Un gran radio, con BT, a un buen precio.

      The media could not be loaded.
      El radio se me hace buen producto, es bonito, es algo pesado y eso a mi me parece bien, estéticamente es agradable aunque a mi me hubiera gustado las perillas un poco más pesadas o similares a metal.
      El radio tiene una bocina pequeña pero suena bien, le falta algo de volumen y los graves hacen que se escuche mejor. Algo que no me gusto es que solo tiene memoria para 10 estaciones por banda y se me hace absurdo que tenga tan pocas siendo un radio que vale la pena.
      Lo he usado con pilas recargables y ya llevo una semana usándolo esporádicamente y aun no se gasta la energía.
      No se por qué razón la hora se cambia sola por ejemplo, ayer todo estaba bien pero el día de hoy cuando eran las 9:47 am en el radio decía 11:47 y así ya van como 3 días que me pasa eso. Justamente son dos horas de diferencia y el radio nunca se ha quedado sin baterías.

      Muy bien radio, el único defecto que le vi es que la sintonía no es continua sino que se interrumpe como por un segundo será por el tunner digital. Pero de lo demás está muy bien, buen sonido,y también el bluetooth que se conecta sin problema con mi teléfono Android.
