Eton Elite Field AM/FM/Shortwave Desktop Radio with Bluetooth, NELITEFIELD

Rádio bonito, robusto, som encorpado com câmara acústica, tela de fundo escuro com muitas informações e cor laranja com alto brilho- controle manual de ganho- funciona muito bem com antena apenas interna (antena telescopica) e ainda com formas diferenciadas de sintonia.

Thought to be expensive at first but getting crystal clear fm clear audible am and very good sw with lots of stations felt very much satisfied with this radio where as d batteries are concern get good quality batteries for your radio you will find that it is very good and batteries will last for long time. Where as I use for almost whole day in my holidays and about 4 hours daily.a very good product for radio listeners.

Resultó ser un poco más grande de lo que yo esperaba, me recuerda mi vieja radio grabadora de los 80's. Lo primero que hice, después de leer el manual, fue colocar 4 baterías alcalinas tamaño D, y comenzar a buscar el mejor lugar de recepción FM. Cómo era de esperarse, funciona mejor cerca de las ventanas, pero extendiendo totalmente la antena telescópica integrada la recepción es excelente prácticamente en toda la casa. Aún no he hecho una prueba de duración de las baterías. Luego hice una prueba con el BT. Funcionó a la primera, tanto con el teléfono celular Android como con Fedora Linux. Probé con música chochentera, con ecualización plana. Excelente sonido: bajos sin distorsión, agudos muy claros. Quizá alguno considere que le falta más potencia, pero yo prefiero no molestar a los vecinos (y que no me molesten a mi). En cuanto a la recepción de onda corta, la antena interconstruída hace un buen trabajo, pero como todo radio de onda corta, lo mejor es utilizar una antena externa. Ya estoy trabajando en ello. Un gran radio, con BT, a un buen precio. UPDATE: Construí la antena para SWL (Shortwave Listening) de Dirk Rijmenants. Con todo y que terminó siendo una configuración lejos de ser óptima, el resultado ha sido por demás satisfactorio. La recepción ha sido buena tanto de día como de noche. Desafortunadamente mi estación favorita ha dejado de transmitir en onda corta. Pero no todo se ha perdido: ahora la escucho vía Internet utilizando el modo Bluetooth. Un gran radio, con BT, a un buen precio.

I bought this radio while drunk-shopping on Amazon. The next morning when I got the "it has shipped" alert, it was my intention to send it back as the last thing I need is yet another radio but, since the seller shouldn't be held hostage to my whims and irresponsibility, I opened the radio to give it a fair try-out to make a proper decision. I'm glad I did as it's a really good one and I will be keeping it. I paid $80+$5 'tax'. I'll be comparing this to my Tecsun PL-880 as that is considered a very good receiver and has served me well, although at nearly twice the cost. MW (AM) and SW are pretty much neck-and-neck in reception with the Eton, maybe, having the slightest advantage over the PL-880. Obviously, the Eton does not have SSB and the PL-880 does. That's okay. I have other radios (Alinco SR8T, PL-880, GE 7-2990A) that cover that spectrum should I choose to venture off into the side band world which is mostly just boring old guys rattling on incessantly about their radio equipment and complaining about new Ham's. The Eton has a wide band/narrow band switch and with the bass and treble controls, you can really dial in the sound for your ears which is great for someone with tinnitus and deafness at 8 kHz (wear ear plugs, kids). I'm near Dallas/Ft. Worth and we have one of the largest markets in the world so there is no shortage of stations, close or far, to try and search for. Unfortunately, my physical location and the radiant barrier in my house causes SW to be hit-or-miss but, still, the few stations I can get came in as well as possible using the stock aerial. I haven't tried it with a long wire yet although I did connect it to my outside GMRS base antenna got a few of the closer SW stations in a bit clearer so the antenna connection does work. FM reception is fantastic with this radio, easily surpassing the PL-880. In scan, the PL-880 has a tendency to stop on dead-air stations which the Eaton filters out. I didn't even extend the aerial, just raised it into position, and it was pulling in stations very well. Connected to my external GMRS antenna about 18' in the air outside my house caused the Eton radio to pull in crazy amounts of FM stations. It's quite the FM DX'er. The bluetooth connection on the Eton is quite nice. Presently I have my iPhone paired streaming a station. No problems, it hooked right up and sounds great. It only receives, not transmits. The instructions on the Eton were just fine and easy to read. About 10 minutes of unpacking, and scanning the little manual and I felt like I was a pro with this radio. It runs on 4 D batteries so with moderate volume control and reduced bass response, they should last for a very long time. I don't have a time frame on this one, yet, but in my GE which uses the same 4D setup, the batteries went bad before they went dead, probably about 8 years. Of course, when not in use I do not store alkaline's in any equipment, leaving them in a container beside my radio which was fortunate since they started leaking. I, typically, don't like digital displays as they trickle-drain batteries but this Eton seems to be okay, completely blacking out the screen when not in use - as long as you flip the 'display off' switch on the side - although you can still faintly see the time and battery meter. Time will tell how long a set of batteries last. It would be nice to be able to charge a set of rechargeable batteries though the radio if plugged in with the wart but not so with this radio. The PL-880 uses a single 18650 battery recharged though the side with a 5v wart or battery back. The tuning on this radio is a bit clunky and annoying. The knob does not have a recess for your finger allowing you to be able to spin without your finger slipping off when using fine tune and the fast tune is just meh. It some sort of geared mechanism but not very smooth and can be a little jerky. It appears the best way to tune this radio is by using the up/down arrows (hold for 1 second and let go). Also, it doesn't have a continuous scan, stopping on every station and forcing you press the arrow again to start a new scan. The PL-880 has a 5 second hold on the scan and moves to the next station. This radio has 10 presets per selection. Really? 10 presets? There is also no auto search (which why would there be with just 10 presets?) so if you take it to a new area, you can't automatically scan the waves and load the stations in that area. I really like this radio as it feels good in the hand and it sounds fantastic. An included protective case would be nice although I see the one for this radio is here on Amazon for an additional $40+. I do recommend this radio, highly.

Es una maravilla.... super completo
