As the person who will be doing the filter and external antenna mods on the
E100, it may save a lot of emails to me if I state the costs in advance.
The filter mod is $53 for the filter, $50 for labor, plus shipping costs back
to you.
The external antenna mod for the stock loopstick is $15 total plus shipping
costs back to you.
I can't afford to stock more than a couple of filters at a time; you may have
some wait to get your radio back if I'm out of filters when I receive your
radio and have to order more filters.

Subject: [ultralightdx] Eton E100 IF Filter Modification Service Available
Hello Guys,
Several requests have been received by DXers eager to have their Eton
E100 Ultralight radios modified with the outstanding Murata CFJ455K5 IF filter
(the same narrow filter used in the Eton E1 portable). The replacement of the
stock 455 kHz filter with this premium ceramic filter (as suggested by Guy
Atkins in his superb technical article, recently published in NRC's DX News)
truly makes the tiny E100 a super-selective receiver for all types of DXing
missions, both foreign and domestic.
The original designers of the E100 modifications (John Bryant, Guy
Atkins and myself) have all used this outstanding ceramic filter in actual TP
DXing sessions, and have been deeply impressed by its ability to split off weak
TP stations adjacent to strong domestic QRM.
Steve Ratzlaff, a highly qualified ex-Navy sonar repair technican with
extensive professional electronic experience, has offered to perform this E100
modification for interested DXers. Steve has already performed this
modification for fellow TP-DXer Dennis Vroom, who was highly satisfied. Those
having interest in this procedure should contact Steve directly at [EMAIL
PROTECTED], to discuss terms.
Steve is also able to perform the E100 modification of installing an
external antenna inductive coupling loop to the stock loopstick, which would
enable DXers to use their existing external antennas to chase DX with the E100
Ultralight (and compete in the Ultralight Awards program's "Unlimited Class").
For DXers with effective external antennas, this would be a quick way to
experience the fun and excitement of Ultralight radio DXing, while maintaining
the competitive edge of their directional EWE's, Conti Loops, K9AY's, etc.
Please contact Steve with any questions about this procedure.
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock
