  • 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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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?

    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
      @todderbert  2 роки тому +1

      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.
