Ah that is good news indeed. Another thing - I'm wondering if this radio covers the airbands as well? Regards Andre -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 28 April 2016 01:07 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject:

Okay an apology from me to you, there were a batch of the Eton Satellit which muted as you described but those made after September last year have a revised firmware that illiminated this problem, I must have one of those with the updated firmware. On 28/04/2016 1:42 AM, André van Deventer

Hi so how is this unit for reception on all bands including a.m and f.m? Is it nice and sensitive and selective and good at picking up hard to get stations? Also do you think that when the f.m band is open to receive stations from far away I believe they call that skip will this unit work good f

Just in case anyone wants a manual to read? Well I have the Eton Satellit manual here but quite frankly I don't know why Eton bothered to publish a manual, this manual would have to be about the worst manual ever written for anything. On 28/04/2016 2:47 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: Well I have o

Well I have one of these radios on my hot hand I can tell you that the audio doesn't mute but the level drops when the dial is turned, yes that part is correct but its far from an annoyance as you seem to suggest, in other words as the dial is turned you can still hear the audio. On 28/04/2

I listened to a youtube demonstration of this radio. You could clearly hear the break in audio when the tuning knob was turned even on USB. I understand that the tuning knob has clicks. So if you tune for example through the short wave frequencies there is a very slight break in audio for e

Now that’s a good question. The Sync detection on the PL880 is about the worst there is and the one on the Eton Satellite isn’t much better, in short its a disgrace if Sync Detection is what you’re after. The radio with the best Sync Detection I’ve seen of recent years is that found on the Tec

Must say what I find immensely irritating with this specific radio is the sound of the tuning during bands. Perhaps I come from the time of analog receivers where the tuning is smooth. Now every time that you turn the tuning knob and it clicks the audio is interrupted. My old AOR 3000A recei
