Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some advice on which model would best suit my needs and wants right now. I'm new to the hobby but I've had good results from my great grandfathers 50 year old Grundig and a 100ft wire antenna all my my eaves. There are inherent limitations to the Grundig and would like something new.
I will be listening indoors from the same location generally. I'd like to get a nice range of frequencies to listen to and I've heard I can pick up HAM conversations through Single Side Band? Listening to air traffic sounds interesting too. Needless to say the old Grundig can't do that!
So I've come across these two, the TECSUN PL-660 ($180 CDN roughly) and the Eton Elite Executive ($225 CDN shipped). On paper the stats look very similar. I've watched some reviews and they both look like solid radios.
Which one would better fit my needs? Is the Eton worth $40 more?
Thank guys!
