Hello Guys,
Russ Johnson advised me this morning that Durham Radio of Whitby,
Ontario has sold out their stock of the discontinued Eton E100, and that they
will
no longer be available. Their web site confirms this. Durham Radio has sold
a great number of these NOS E100's to the Ultralight Radio AM-DXing group at
the special price of $44.93 (plus shipping), but unfortunately hobbyists
desiring to purchase these outstanding compact models will now need to track
one
down from other sources (at a much higher price).
The Eton E100 was the subject of intensive hoobyist modifications for
sensitivity and selectivity improvements recently, making it an extremely
capable AM-DXing receiver. A new Slider loopstick was combined with a Murata
CFJ455K5 premium IF filter, giving it unprecedented 9-kHz split transoceanic
DX
performance among compact portables.
If you would still like to purchase this superb model, it is
recommended that you act without delay to secure one from another source.
Please also
be aware that the units with serial numbers of E10-0709xxxxxx have an
inferior AM design, and are not possible to modify for increased DX
performance,
according to the articles posted on _http://www.dxer.ca_ (http://www.dxer.ca) .
73, Gary DeBock
