Re: Received E100
I have noticed that the E100's display is off by 1 KHz...to correctly tune 640 KHz, one would have to tune in on 641 KHz. This is true on sw frequencies as well. Perhaps this explains the disapperance

Gary,
I understand what you are saying - that with a small plastic radio andnoise hitting the circuitry, shielding the loop stick is unlikely toimprove rejection of noise from the local environment -

E100 received
Hello all,
I received my E100 from Durham Radio today. It sure is small; it
looks like a shrunken E10 (yes, I have one of those too.)
Overall, I like the radio, but it does have some quirks. For

John,
Ultralight radios, by nature, are plastic-enclosedelectronic devices subject to RF noise issues. Shielding the leads toexternal ferrite bars wouldn't accomplish much, since the RF hash

Re: Eton E100 Performs Well with 7" Loopstick Transplant
Hey Gary:
Any guesses as to whether this applies to the e100 version I have
with the immovable coil? I am hoping that if the basic circuitry is
the same, maybe the transplanted loopstick (0.297 mH)

Hello all,
Has anyone tried a Grundig G6 Aviator? It appears to be slightly
