Eton Elite Executive Shortwave Radio Daytime AM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2024
- The Eton Elite Executive AM FM LW AIR Shortwave with SSB, and SYNC comes out to play on the Daytime Medium Wave Band. It has been a few years since I made a video showcasing this Amazing Receiver. If you are interested in Tuning the Above Frequencies, then this is one to keep on your Short List. Paired with a Passive Loop, and using its onboard Bandwidth Filters, you will find many distant stations that most receivers in this class miss.

Great review! I follow Todderbert reviews, they are outstanding! I wish he would spend a little more time on SW ATS functions and perhaps less time in MW. Some people do like ATS functions.
@@gerardorinconke8rrg533 when the pandemic lifts and I get my shortwave area back from my Wife's stay at home office, I will be doing many shortwave scans, along with ATS demos.
@@todderbert thank you! Your demos are extraordinary! I just bought the Eton Elite Executive based on your review. I really didn't need another radio, but somehow I had to have it. You do fantastic reviews!
I recently picked one of these up and quickly learned that the interface is completely different compared to the Tecsun, C Crane and XHDATA radios I own. The manual isn't great, but I slowly figured out how to operate the radio through a lot of trial and error. Quirky is the right word for this radio. Annoying features like the screen timing out and requiring you to press each button twice. Once to turn the screen on and then for the function of the button. Why? You can overcome that but turning the screen on full time. The ATS function only works with FM and you have to page through and press function buttons to get to your memory stations instead of just turning the tuning knob like most of my other radios. This is a very good looking radio. The buttons are crisp. The AM reception was top notch. I was able to pull in a ton of stations at night. FM reception with the whip antenna was just okay. With an external reel type antenna I was able to pick up a lot of SW broadcasts. The SSB works very well and the fine tuning functions on this radio really dialed in the ham conversations. Despite the quirky annoyances the radio actually works quite well. I am pleased with my purchase. I just have to make sure I never lose the manual.
Hello fellow RadioHeads!
Just picked up one of these on an "open box" deal for $110. Looking forward to its arrival so I can run it head-to-head with my Tecsun PL-680. Finally, a nice set that runs on AA batteries.
Após este período recomenda o rádio ?
@G Morgan qual a melhor escolha PL 680 ou Eton Elite ?
I have the Eton Grundig Sattelit edition which as far as I can tell is near identical except for the body accents. All the buttons and ports are the same. The magnets for the case on the back surprised me. I had to check mine to see if I had them. :) And that passive loop... I think Santa might need to drop one to me. Never occurred to me to use one for DX. :)
I love this radio too...I bought one not to long ago and I'm super happy with it...
Hej thanks for the info take care and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Todderbert i love this radio just got one.
You're more of a radio freak than I am!
I spent untold hours on my TBX-8 surfing through the static as a kid. I still have it.
You're reviews sold me on the pl660 when my skywave ssb finally gave up.
BTW I live in Fortuna. The little town where C. Crane is. I have to convenience of playing with their radios before I buy. Super cool people.
Thanks for all the great reviews. I actually enjoy watching you tune around. Beats watching someone playing golf. LOL
Qual rádio está usando atualmente ?
I always enjoy watching your radio videos, Todderbert! The Eton Elite Executive AM/FM/LW/AIR & Shortwave with SSB including SYNC makes for a very well-rounded radio indeed! The Eton Elite Executive appears to have very sensitive AM tuning definitely! Thanks, Todderbert & 73s... P.S. I am a Sihuadon D-808 fan just for the record. The Eton Elite Executive is a rather pricey radio at roughly $150.00 on Amazon USA!
The Executive was recently on sale for under $120 :)
Thank you for this video. Just got this radio today and with my limited eyesight it was hard to read the manual to set it up. Watching you push all the buttons really made it easy for me. I am near you and it was nice to hear the familiar stations for me. The one station I really want to hear is 650 WSM in Nashville but 640 in Peotone is tearing up my plans. Any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing. Nice receiver with more than decent sound 😊
Hello Marcos, Merry Christmas!
Love this radio. Recently started getting a lot of static and interference on MW with overlapping stations and so much noise. Somehow I flipped the switch from DX to Local! Haha oops! Love these vids.
I'm slowly learning more about how to operate mine, thanks to you! It *IS* a really good radio! Thanks for the video.
(Subscribed!)
Good band scan. I like a good am band scan.
I love your very detailed videos.. 😁😘
@Todderbert, o rádio Executive é realmente PLL ?
I like the way you explain how a MW antenna works. I’ve had to explain this also when I am outside or in a park.
What a hoot!! Thank you for your review. If I were in a VERY TIGHT budget, this radio could possibly/maybe/almost/oh H£LL let's give it a try radio. Even though I gullibly expected Blue Tooth &/or SD Card playability on a $15 ÷/- AM/FM/SW radio. Possibly I would be happy with my purchase. A person could say, you created a silk purse from a sow's ear. Fun review... Practically tongue in cheek, very enjoyable and appreciated in that regard. 😂
Has the jury finally decided whether the Eton Elite Executive's external antenna port takes a stereo or mono 3.5mm miniplug? There are varying opinions.
I use a mono plug with good results.
I stopped using Eton products because when the digital tuning went out, they would not return my calls or E mails.
I had the Eton Grundig Field radio.
Bummer, all of mine are working well. I had a few bad apples but was able to return them.
Can you use a larger ant with it? I want something I can hook up a much larger ant.
Hej Todderbert thanks for the bandscan and eton have very nice radios cold weather here burr. But Retekess TR613 is on and it warms me up with nice radio tones take care and have a nice day.
I have been enjoying my Prunus J-328 on my Morning/Evening walks. I have a micro SD card filled with Old Time Radio Shows. Currently listening to a radio adaptation of Stagecoach. John Wayne is one of the voice Actors.
@@todderbert Hej Todderbert yes Prunus J-328 is a very nice portable radio and like the oval shape on this radio nice to hold. A new favorite portable radio I have is Ezbnb RD-207 it has very nice speaker and love the all the features it has. Take care have nice night early morning here and, cold outside so it will be to stay inside today and listen to the radios.
@@NTPTM As you can imagine, there is always a radio playing in my household, 24/7 :)
@@todderbert Hej Todderbert same here I'm trying to go through all the radio devices I have and play them every day. But I do not have as many radio devices as you have. I have 21 radios but yes when I wake up the first thing I do is turn on a radio listening to the news and music. And there will be more radio purchases soon and, the favorite is the Tecsun H-501x a very sensitive radio and it is playing right now. So yes the Swede is a radio lover boy like you and maybe Santa will deliver a new radio to me. I wish you wonderful Christmas Todderbert and your loved ones take care.
I use a PL368 at night to scan for MW stations and have found it to be really impressive performer. My question, is there a database, a website that I can search directly to identify the stations I hear? I'm in NC and just the other night I was listening to Chicago weather reports. The bigger stations announce themselves quite often but the little stations are somewhat shy.

@@todderbert Helped tremendously.
I would like to have heard more about the sw features. I not that interested about the radio channels in your area. Thanks
Shortwave scans to happen when my Wife returns to her office at Work. Now she occupies my Shortwave area until they don't want her working from Home. Also watch my Review video, where I tune in some SW: ua-cam.com/video/YXrTKxo7wtA/v-deo.html
What is the long wave coverage?
Full Long wave Coverage.
Eton or Ccrane for best reception and sound ? Love your reports
If you are comparing this radio to the CC Skywave SSB, then the Eton Executive wins, but when it comes to going portable, and for long run times, the C.Crane takes the Gold.
O rádio é DSP ou PLL ?
E SSB qual a nota ?
wher can get this radio?
There is an Amazon link up there in the description.
One more question : pocket radio Ccrane, sangean or other? I will purchase 2 radios 2 to replace my broken tecsun 680 and one pocket. Your opinion is relevant to my decision
If you like smooth tuning of the Tecsun 680, go with the Sangean 909X. Though you will have to use external antennas with it for best reception. Otherwise, the XHData D-808 is a solid choice, along with the Elite Executive. Get the C.Crane CC Skywave SSB if you plan to travel light. It wins ultimate portability hands down.
This one or the Eaton Elite Field radio?
what are you looking for, if sync detection and ssb are important this one no contest or the 750
