My personal experience with these cheaper radios has not been great, stick to the better known brands like Tecsun, Digitech or C.Crane. My review of the V-115 is here:

I had the V115, not a good radio so I would avoid it, based on that. Check out the Tecsun models, they are well regarded. -- Paul

I would save up for a Tecsun PL-330. A great value for the money. It’s not perfect but an excellent small FM/LW/MW/SW SSB DSP receiver with 850 memories (more importantly it stores scanned

Basically as a starter radio for some ULTRALIGHT dxing. My other radios are too big so this would be my starter. I don't know what I need or want to do as yet, I just want to get in to it. Sent with

Hi Issac It would help a bit if you told us what you want the radio for? Drifter

That’s great Paul, and a very nice piece of music as well. Drifter

Purely for fun I braved up and did a very rough check on Peter’s distance; 8,500 km! Drifter

Really, wow! Alaska here I come; well I might have said that as a young man, but I wouldn’t even consider the flight now, let alone living there! 😊 Drifter

Its about 6500km for me in Alaska and I hear it qutie regularly when conditions are right.

Hi Peter As a beginner that strikes me as phenomenal! I picked up the same station this morning, but for me in the UK it’s only a thousand miles, I’m afraid to check how far it is for you! Drifter

Thanks Michael Yes, it still available and really nice quality, from here: http://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/Eton%20E5.pdf Unlike a lot of online manuals you don’t have to sign up for

My E5 is an original etón E5 "Designed in California, assembled in China". I can't find the original manual... Is there one online? Michael UK On

Well that’s cheered me up a bit Jay, thanks for that! Drifter

Hi Michael Is yours the original Etón or the later Grundig? From a couple of comments on this thread I’m getting very nervous 😟. Drifter UK

Hi Jay Many thanks for taking the time to look at yours, it’s appreciated! No, I didn’t get two, and I now don’t have one, it’s been returned to Amazon 🙂. My decision now is whether or not
