THE BIG PICTURE : Eton E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/e1xmlrg.jpg
.
Replt To - RANDY,
.
Thank You for the "TIP"
.
So Eton Corp. is talking and the word is that the
Eton E1 XM Radio will be 'out' Mid January 2005.
.
It is interesting that the Price will be about =Equal=
to the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio.
.
The 'original' MSRP for the Grundig Satellit 800 M Radio.
was IIRC $699.95 and is now generally priced at $499.95.
Currently Universal Radio has the Grundig Satellit 800 M
Radio "On Sale" at $449.95.
.
Per the Universal-Radio.Com WebSite
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/0101.html
"This new model is expected February 2005.
We will post the price as soon as available."

P R I C E - ABOUT THE MSRP AN WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY:
I would suspect that the Eton E1 XM Radio will have the
$699.95 MSRP and that for the first few months that they
will be sold at the Full MSRP of $699.95 until the fall
off in 'demand' at that Price-Point warrants a Big
"Price Discount" by the Retailers and OnLine Merchants.

"Genealogy" is RL Drake : SW1 > SW2 > SW8 > GS800M > E1 XM
.
.
The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium was based on the
RL Drake SW8 'portable' AM/MW and Shortwave Radio.
SW8 => http://www.dxing.com/rx/sw8.htm
Designed in collaboration with the R.L. Drake Company,
borrowing many features from the Drake Model SW8 Radio.
.
I have no doubt that RL Drake used what ever "Leasons Learn"
from the Drake R8, R8A and R8B Receivers to make any
practical and cost efective product improvements to the
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium during it's Design and
Development. That would simply be 'good business'.
.
FWIW - RL Drake was also involved in the Design and
Development of the Eton 'Elite' E1 XM Radio.
.
AFAIK - Tecsun GEM China (PRC) continues to be the
Production Design and Manufacturing Facility for the
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium and now is doing the
same for the Eton 'Elite' E1 XM Radio.
.
IMHO - That the 'overall' Product Design, Development
and Manufacturing "Genealogy" for these Radios follows:
.
FIRST Generation (G1.0) = Drake SW8
(Including the Drake SW1 & SW2)
G1.3 - SW8 => http://www.dxing.com/rx/sw8.htm
G1.2 - SW2 => http://www.dxing.com/rx/sw2.htm

SECOND Generation (G2.0) = Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium

"WHY" I would Buy the Eton 'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM
Satellite Radio
.
I would agree with you, that in many respects the Eton
'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM Satellit Radio should be a
better receiver than the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium,
and I love my GS800M.
.
What have been many of the problems and grips that have
been written about here with the GS800M.
- Small Ferrite Rod Antenna
- Internal RF Noise from the Radios Circuits
- Hash from the LCD Display.
and many more . . . all this in a big, Big. BIG ! Box.
.
Well for Eton / Drake /Tecsun to take the GS800M and place
it into a much smaller Box; would mean that at least two
of the above problems would have had to be Fix or at least
significantly reduced to at least the same performance
levels as the GS800M.
.
Imagine a GS800M with a 'lower' Noise Floor and able to
"Hear" those Weak Signals that are just now on the edge
of Listenability with the GS800M.
.
The nature of the Business Product Process Cycle is to
Continously Seek to Build-It-Better and Make-It-Cheaper.
[ Increase the Value of the Product to the Customer. ]
.
The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium was ETON Corps
Premier [Flag Ship] "Big Box" Radio. The Eton 'Elite'
E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio is designed to be
ETON Corps Premier 'Small Box' Radio. For ETON Corp,
the Eton 'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio
has to be at least as-good-as the GS800M; and ideally
much better. Remember, it has been four years since
ETON Corp has released the GS800M and it need a New STAR
for it's Consumer Marketing "Image". If the Eton 'Elite'
E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio is as-good-as the
GS800M and in a 'smaller' Box; it will be a Hit with the
Buying Public. (An Executive Gift) However, if the Eton
'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio is much better
than the GS800M; then it will be a Hit with the Radio
Enthusiast who will feel they need to "Got-to-Have-It !"
.
Please Note - That when I write about the Eton E1 XM Radio;
I 'label' it as the Eton 'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM Satellite
Radio. That is because 'for me' what it is as the Eton
'Elite' E1 Receiver is what I am interested in as a Radio.
What it will do as an AM/MW, FM and Shortwave Radio is the
"Why" that will make 'me' want to Buy it. The fact that
it also comes 'with' XM Satellit Radio is not a Selling
Point for me.
.
.
For now all we can do is wait and keep listening ~ RHF

hi Michael:

i see no reason to doubt Drake, who designed the R8B, SW8,

the Sat800 due to the PBT. add small size [S350-like],
1700 memories, and likely 5-kHz tuning steps . . .
it should be a winner.

You will NEVER Convince a RL Drake R8B Receiver Owner that
an Eton 'Elite' E1 Receiver with XM satellite Radio is
as-good-as a "R8B" [.]
- - - And I Did NOT and Would NOT Make That Claim.
.
I am simply suggesting the it should be as-good-as the
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium; and just 'possibly'
a little better. Plus it will be a Real 'portable'
AM/FM Shortwave Radio with the capabilities of the
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium; and that ain't bad.
.
The Proof will be in the Radio Listening Experience !
.
For Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium "Big Sound" Quality
just add a Set (2S+1B) of Self Powered Computer Stereo
Speakers with a center Bass Sub-Woofer and individual
Right and Left Channel (Side) Speakers.

Hi there,
.
I'm still doubt that E1XM uses the same 1st mixer and
oscillator as Sat800. This is due to the fact that the
lowest frequency able to be dialled-in is *100Hz* in
both radios - this implies that they are subject to the
same phase noise level.
.
-R- There is more to a Radio's Circuity that will impact
its Sensetivity and RF Noise Levels then simply the 1st
Mixer/Osc and the fact that it uses a PPL Circuit Design.
.
If Drake designs E1XM to be better than Sat800 (in this
respect), then where will the R8B stand? Does Drake want
the R8B to be killed by E1XM ?
.
-R- See the Top Most Reply.
.
? Anyway, where can we get the E1XM "block diagram" ?
.
-R- Well you can expect that ETON will not provide you
with one. Most likely some?one will find a 'copy' of
what ever name and model number is given to the Tecsun
'labeled' E1XM that will be for sale in China (PRC).
.
Best regards,
Amin

This gets at one of the worries I have about the E1. People who are
interested in satellite radio can find satellite receivers much cheaper
than the E1; and people who are interested in AM/FM can likewise find
cheaper receivers. Now, my *sense*, and I stress that this is my
*impression* and not the result of any sort of research, is that most
people who are interested in satellite radio won't be attracted to the
AM/FM capabilities of this receiver, and consequently they'll pass it
over in favor of a less expensive satellite receiver. Likewise, SWLers
will pass over the E1 because there are superior tabletop sets (Icom
R-75, Palstar R30) in the SAME PRICE RANGE as the E1. Furthermore, the
E1 will not have the benefit of the Grundig name.
If I worked for Eton, this is what I'd be worried about...well, aside
from whatever mechanical defects might emerge in the first production
run. (I'm extremely curious to find out what the build quality is like
on the E1. I hope it's built like a tank, but I can't help but worry.)

Cost of the XM chip to Eton is well under $1.

HERE IS WHY I THINK THE "ETON E1 RECEIVER WITH XM SATELLITE RADIO WILL
BE A BETTER 'BASIC' PRODUCT THAN THE DRAKE SW8 AND GRUNDIG SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM RADIO/RECEIVERS : {What I Think and Why}
.
Since RL Drake Co. (including Grundig/Eton/Tecsun) have a History of
"Lesions Learned" for the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium and the Drake
SW8 Radio/Receivers. It would be in RL Drakes and the others
collective "Best Interests" to make any and all small Fixes that would
Reduce Customer Complaints and Improve Initial Customer Satisfaction
with their new Radios. Each Dollar spend doing so usually results in
about a Seven Dollar Saving in Repair Maintenance Costs 'after' the
Sale of the Product {Radio/Receiver} .
.
If you had read all the little 'low cost' FIXES that Grundig Satellit
800 Millennium Owners have Reported about in the Grundig Satellit 800
eGroup on YAHOO! You would know that there are many minor 'parts'
improvements that could make the new Eton E1 Receiver with XM Satellite
Radio a "Better" Product {Radio/Receiver} for the Radio Enthusiast.
.
NOTE : This is a Product {Radio/Receiver} that is Up-Scale-Priced and
"Targeted" for the RADIO ENTHUSIAST : Or to be Given as what is usually
called an "Executive Gift" . [Money & Image]
.
I Will Repeat Myself: [ IMHO ] In order to put the 'basic' Electronics
of the Drake SW8 / Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium into a much
'smaller' [Box] as that which is the "Size" of the new Eton E1 Receiver
with XM Satellite Radio: The Design Engineers at RL Drake Co. (USA)
and the Manufacturing Process and Testing Engineers at Tecsun GEM China
(PRC); would have to BUILD THE RADIO BETTER; or offer an inferior
product to the SW8 / GS800M. All the Companies concerned simply would
NOT DO THIS with what will be Their PREMIER "Flag Ship" Product
{Radio/Receiver}
.
.
and that's what i think ~ RHF
.
All are WELCOME and "Invited-to-Join" the

WHY - The Eton E1 AM & FM Shortwave Receiver with XM Satellite Radio
Does NOT have "DRM" Digital Radio Mondiale reception feature.
READ : DRM - Do the Right Marketing !
[ DRM - What Went Wrong in the USofA ]
Why Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) needs a Brand Name
- Commentary by Andy Sennitt, 13 January 2005
RNW => http://tinyurl.com/4cona
http://www2.rnw.nl/rnw/en/features/media/features/drm050113.html
"Eton Corporation, the company that brought Grundig radios
into the US, showed the Eton 'Elite' E1 XM portable Receiver.
It combines AM, FM, Shortwave Receiver, and XM Satellite Radio
into one ultra high-performance unit, which - although portable
- is sized at 13.1 by 7.1 by 2.3 inches and weighs 4 pounds."
.
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT - The 2005 International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES), the world's largest consumer electronics event,
ended a week ago in Las Vegas.
.
Unfortunately, due to the decision of the US to adopt iBiquity
Digital's HD Radio instead of DRM as the standard for digital
AM, a major opportunity to promote Digital Shortwave Broadcasting
in the US market has been lost.
.
But the Shortwave receivers in these new devices are only for AM,
because the digital system chosen for use in the US - iBiquity
Digital's HD Radio - is aimed at the AM (Medium Wave) and FM bands.
So even if a digital AM receiving capability is added to these sets
in the future, it's not likely to benefit Shortwave Broadcasters.
.
Also at the CES, 21 of the top radio broadcast groups in the US
announced an historic agreement with iBiquity Digital to accelerate
the conversion of 2,000 AM and FM stations to HD Radio Technology.
.
So it looks as if the US domestic market is firmly shut to DRM,
despite its status as a world standard endorsed by the International
Telecommunication Union.
.
Unless this marketing issue is addressed, only a subset of
existing Shortwave listeners are likely to be interested in DRM.
Consequently sales of DRM-capable receivers - when they eventually
appear in significant numbers - will be low, and the momentum
will be lost.
.
The majority of consumers will not even be aware that there's
a digital AM Broadcasting System out there, especially as they
need to buy a new receiver before they can hear it.
.
And since the total number of hours aired by the International
Broadcasters continues to fall, the selling of the medium in
terms of listener choice becomes harder and harder day by day.
.
DRM needs a brand name, preferably one that works in a number
of major languages, that will explain what the technology is
for, and cannot be confused with something else.
.
As we're less than a year away from the release of the first
'portable' DRM Receivers in significant quantities, I hope
attention now turns to how the technology is going to be sold
to the consumer, especially in the US. A lot of time and
effort has been spent getting to this point, but it could all
be rendered ineffectual by poor marketing.

The "E1" and The "E1XM" from CES 2005
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ETON-E1-XM-Radio/message/156
ULIS [ K3LU ],
Thank You for Sharing the Photo/Images :o)
RADIO INTEL => http://www.radiointel.com/
Eton E1XM Photo From CES 2005
REFERENCE => http://tinyurl.com/5s8d3
I would 'appear' from the two Images and the written description
that there will be two Eton 'Elite' Radios offered :
the "E1 XM" and the "E1".
So will both be available in the North American Market ?
(USA & Canada) ?
Or, will the Eton 'Elite' E1 (AM/FM Shortwave) Receiver
with XM Satellite Radio "ONLY" be Sold in the USA ?
And the Eton 'Elite' E1 AM/FM Shortwave Receiver "WITHOUT"
the XM Satellite Radio [Option] be Sold in the Rest-of-the-World ?
IMHO - It was and is a 'good' Business Move for ETON Corp.
to Transition from the "Grundig", 'Satellit' and 'Yacht Boy'
Brand Names; to their very own "ETON" and 'Elite' Brand Names;
is a move to allow them to sell their own Products World Wide
under a Single Unified Label. This move would also reduce their
costs as a result of NOT having to Pay Grundig AG (Germany a
Product Licensing Fee for each and every "Grundig" Brand Name
Radio that ETON Corp sold in the North American Market.

This is accurate, but they fail to mention that "this quarter or beginning of next"
refers to "quarter century".

all the brains are in the base of the antenna and the only thing in
the radio is a control bus/audio interface? Does the XM antenna plug
look like a coaxial or like a Mini-USB?

I agree that this is what SHOULD happen, but of course it doesn't
always work out that way. In the course of correcting one set of
problems, one often just creates a whole new set. Also, I'm still not
clear on the role of Drake in the development of this new Eton
receiver. I don't see anything about it on the Drake website, whereas I
do see the Satellit 800 on the Drake site. Will Drake repair defective
E1's, as they do the Sat 800's? I keep seeing the Drake name attached
to the E1, which is encouraging; but what, exactly, does Drake have to
do with it?

We just have to hope that things work out this way, but there are no

I'm with you there. I also don't think that the AM/MW/SW and FM will be
a big selling point with people who are shopping for satellite
radios....which makes me question the wisdom of combining so much in a
single package.
Let us keep our fingers crossed!

RHF, just got back from 6 days business in Hong Kong. as
always, i hit a few shortwave shops. not an E1 anywhere.
i was told: next week/ don't know/ etc. but, in my march 24-
Time mag., there is an ad for the E1 on page 78. SO, is it
real, or memorex? and the death of the R8b and the icom R75
is the big topic all over Asia. i got my R8b from universal
last nov. 05. sure am glad i got it. and, i was thinking about
the icom. maybe grab one up and play with it later. used to be i
had too many portables, looks like you can't have too manydesk-
tops. and i still use my sat800 and the AOR ar3030 the most.
enjoy your soon to be rare Icom R75....

Joe Analssandrini
this newsgroup WAIT until the reviews are in. Especially, as this is a
"new" radio of Chinese construction, do you really want to be a "guinea
pig?"
Remember the quality-control problems of the Grundig Satellit 800? This
radio is made by the same factory.
Let others have the "problems," if any. If the radio does turn out to
be a "good one," well, waiting a few months won't hurt anybody.
Don't complain if you do buy one of the initial production run and then
have problems with the radio. That would be your own fault!
I can't imagine that anyone on this group just HAS to have this radio
right away and CANNOT POSSIBLY wait!
Caveat emptor.
Best,
Joe
P.S. I believe that the Eton E1-XM is designed by and will be serviced
by Drake. Drake appears to be abandoning the short wave field. (As
recently as the year 2000 they had four [4] short wave receivers; now
they have none.) I wonder how this will affect their service department?
