I did not know this fact about the Eton E1 (Non-XM) with the serial number starting out with NX 0000.

"John,

Is this statement below true about the Eton E1 (NON- XM)?:

"If you are familiar with these units, you will know that Eton discontinued the E1XM after about 9400 units and then finished up with under 1,000 of the Eton E1 units that were identical except not having the XM option. Thus, in some respects, these E1's with the lower serial numbers actually ranked as the very last produced units."


John's Response:
I do believe this to be true. But Drake had no direct hand in the manufacture of the E1. So any definitive answer of this type ought to be obtained from Eton.

Regards,
John Kriner


I always thought my Eton E1 with the serial number was the FIRST Batch to be made with the serial # NX 00835, Turns out that it was the LAST batch and close to the end of the run, that explains the firmware number: e1 58 that was the last firmware update.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Here's an email from Eton, specifically Walter Hess:

Thanks for your email. Each version of the E1 had its own, separate serial numbers. We cannot provide any other serial number information.

So basically the XM went to 9400 and the NX version went to 1000, hope this helps to clear up the confusion, I know I was as I said I thought that my NX was in line with the same serials as the XM's, it is not.

The latest version for non-XM units is 6.6. The latest version for the XM version is 2.6. We have no way of finding out what the versions upgraded or included. .
