This morning I purchased the Eton Elite Executive at Amazon. It'll be my first shortwave receiver with actual selection between upper and lower sidebands. I also like that the display characters are lit which makes it easier to read. I seen reviews that it works well. I hope I made the decision was great. I saw other choices with SSB like the CCrane Skywave SSB, Tecsun PL600,660, 880 and 990, and Sangean ATS909X (over $300usd!). Tecsun doesn't ship Amazon Prime and the CCrane SSB was out of stock. I am a little impatient when shipping is concerned. That was a factor in my decision.
My RadioShack 2000629 is working but it eats through AA batteries like wild fire. I have a Radiwow R108 but it has no
SSB. My Tecsun PL-600 has awful SSB audio. I want to keep on shortwave listening ham radio, EAM's and some decoding of WEFAX and other modes so SSB is a must.
I am not gooing to complain about $195 usd price at Amazon. They have stock of this radio. Eton Corp says out of stock please check Amazon.
I hope I will be pleased.
