Pricing, and Some Context

The new Etón Élite Satellit is on its way This week, some US blogs have published possible prices for the radio, ranging around the US$ 600-700 mark (very roughly £500-600). The radio’s predecessor model, marketed around 2005 as the Eton E1/XM sold for US$499.

Many observers were surprised that a manufacturer issues a new, ‘traditional’ portable Radio at this kind of price point. However, as an avid Short Wave listener and occasional DXer, I am, of course, happy about news on any new radio. The SWLing Post calls it an ‘enthusiast-grade portable’, and I’d have to agree.
