I have not noticed this problem with my E1, but then again, I use it indoors. My two issues with the E1 are the lack of an internal ferrite loop for MW/LW and the shakey PAL external antenna connector. I must support RG-58 coax right at the radio to maintain a consistent connection. I would sure like to see a BNC connector in its' place. Aside from these items, it's the best portable I've owned. I have two 2010s. I took the radio to Grayland last fall and it held its' own with the supersets used by the others there - R8A, Icom Pro & R-71A, NRD 545. The audio, octave filtering, passband tuning are great. The AM synch mode is quite tenacious at holding a lock on weak signals. The display is also easy on these older eyes during a long DX session.
