ETON E1
Jacob Shank
Is it better than the SONY ICF-2010? I want to DX with it like my 2010.
Is the signal stability really good? Is the stock antenna pretty decent?
I just want to know what you guys think. If you say it's a good
shortwave, i might buy it. jacob

If I buy another portable that will be the one. There is plenty of
info all over the net about that particular piece. There's a few guys
in here that own one, I'm sure someone will give you a holler. I am
sure you won't be dissapointed in it:-)
I'm pretty happy with mine. Not crazy about having to pay another $100-200
for the XM head and antenna.. but then, I'm not where I can get XM anyway,
and not likely to be in the foreseeable future. The MW/SW is excellent and
great audio.

Please forgive me for any disturbance, but I have an important subject
to address to you regarding FAITH, and I Don’t intend to overload your
email with unnecessary messages…
Some Basic Islamic Beliefs
1) Belief in God:
Muslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor
partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.
He is the true God, and every other deity is false. He has the most
magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes. No one shares His
divinity, nor His attributes. In the Quran, God describes Himself:
Say, “He is God, the One. God, to Whom the creatures turn for their
needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like
Him.” (Quran, 112:1-4)
Chapter 112 of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy.
No one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown
any act of worship, but God alone.
God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the
Sustainer of everything in the whole universe. He manages all affairs.
He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures
depend on Him for all that they need. He is the All-Hearing, the All-
Seeing, and the All-Knowing. In a perfect manner, His knowledge
encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and
the private. He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it
will happen. No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will.
Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will
never be. His will is above the will of all the creatures. He has
power over all things, and He is able to do everything. He is the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent. In one of the
sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more
merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child.1 God is far
removed from injustice and tyranny. He is All-Wise in all of His
actions and decrees. If someone wants something from God, he or she
can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God
for him or her.
God is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God.2 Even Jesus himself rejected
this. God has said in the Quran:
Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah
(Jesus), son of Mary.” The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship
God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates partners in worship
with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the
Fire (Hell). For the wrongdoers,3 there will be no helpers.” (Quran,
5:72)
God is not a trinity. God has said in the Quran:
Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a
trinity),” when there is no god but one God. If they desist not from
what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the
disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask
His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. The Messiah
(Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger… (Quran, 5:73-75)
Islam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that
He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter
against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being. Islam
also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these
are considered blasphemous. God is the Exalted. He is far removed from
every imperfection. He never becomes weary. He does not become drowsy
nor does he sleep.
The Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created
the whole universe). This word Allah is a name for God, which is used
by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians. This word
cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God. The
Arabic word Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times. In Aramaic, a
language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus
habitually spoke,4 God is also referred to as Allah.
2) Belief in the Angels:
Muslims believe in the existence of the angels and that they are
honored creatures. The angels worship God alone, obey Him, and act
only by His command. Among the angels is Gabriel, who brought down the
Quran to Muhammad .
3) Belief in God’s Revealed Books:
Muslims believe that God revealed books to His messengers as proof for
mankind and as guidance for them. Among these books is the Quran,
which God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . God has guaranteed the
Quran’s protection from any corruption or distortion. God has said:
Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it
(from corruption). (Quran, 15:9)
4) Belief in the Prophets and Messengers of God:
Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting with
Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus
(peace be upon them). But God’s final message to man, a reconfirmation
of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . Muslims
believe that Muhammad is the last prophet sent by God, as God has
said:
Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the
Messenger of God and the last of the prophets… (Quran, 33:40)
Muslims believe that all the prophets and messengers were created
human beings who had none of the divine qualities of God.
5) Belief in the Day of Judgment:
Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when
all people will be resurrected for God’s judgment according to their
beliefs and deeds.
6) Belief in Al-Qadar:
Muslims believe in Al-Qadar, which is Divine Predestination, but this
belief in Divine Predestination does not mean that human beings do not
have freewill. Rather, Muslims believe that God has given human beings
freewill. This means that they can choose right or wrong and that they
are responsible for their choices.
The belief in Divine Predestination includes belief in four things: 1)
God knows everything. He knows what has happened and what will happen.
2) God has recorded all that has happened and all that will happen. 3)
Whatever God wills to happen happens, and whatever He wills not to
happen does not happen. 4) God is the Creator of everything

I'll have to say Bob, when I read your response I thought it was
rather cranky. But I checked his other posts, which I just started
doing recently with some people and he is either extremely inquisitive
or just like you said.:-)
Not that there is anything wrong with questions. I asked a lot of them
that sounded silly when I started. But I think other than one post I
read, every thing else was asking a question. It was kind of strange.
Just saying.

- I was thinking about buying the ETON E1.
- Is it a good shortwave radio?
IMHO - The Eton E1 E1XM Radios is about the best
'portable' Shortwave Radio presently available and
offers performance that is superior to most.

- Is it better than the SONY ICF-2010?
The Eton can be bought 'new' while the Sony's can
be had 'used' and are on average the Sony is 10+
Years old with one or more prior owners.

- I want to DX with it like my 2010.
With either the Eton or the Sony Radios your DXing
is going to be mostly dependent upon your external

- Is the signal stability really good?
Yes the Eton E1 is as good as the Sony ICF-2010.
- Is the stock antenna pretty decent?
Yes the Eton E1 Radio's Whip Antenna is as good
as the Sony ICF-2010 for Shortwave and FM
-but- the Eton does not use a Ferrite Rod AM Antenna
like the Sony and only uses the Whip Antenna.

Another Shortwave Radio that you might consider
is the Grundig Satellit 800-M : It's performance is
up there with the Eton E1XM and the Sony ICF-2010
Radios.

Definately a lot cheaper than when I bought my E1, then. The "cheap"
adapter head was $100 and the "deluxe" was $200. And that was with a lot of
shopping around and price comparisons. Maybe I'll have another look.

I use on the CC Radio Plus(needs some help).
'Just that I thought there might have been a ferrite I could slip inside to
make the set more portable.
I haven't even tried the XM feature yet. Seems awful expensive for
something I get for free. 'Guess I'm just cheap.
The E1 is one of my best ones along with the Sony SW-55, just wish they had
made the display on the E1 a little brighter.
