The Eton E1 (originally announced as the Grundig Satellit 900) is the world's first radio that combines AM, FM, shortwave and XM portable Satellite radio into one ultra high-performance unit. In development for nearly ten years, in collaboration with RL Drake Company and XM Satellite Radio, the E1 is simply the finest full-sized portable satellite radio in the world. The E1 is an elegant confluence of performance, features and capabilities. The look, feel and finish of this radio is superb. The solid, quality feel is second to none. The digitally synthesized, dual conversion shortwave tuner covers all shortwave frequencies. Adjacent frequency interference can be minimized or eliminated with a choice of three bandwidths [7.0, 4.0, 2.5 kHz]. The sideband selectable Synchronous AM Detector portable satellite radio further minimizes adjacent frequency interference and reduces fading distortion of AM signals. IF Passband Tuning is yet another advanced feature that functions in AM and SSB modes to reject interference. AGC is selectable at fast or slow. High dynamic range permits the detection of weak signals in the presence of strong signals. All this coupled with great sensitivity will bring in stations from every part of the globe. Organizing your stations is facilitated by 500 user programmable presets with alpha labeling, plus 1200 user definable country memories, for a total of 1700 presets. You can tune this portable satellite radio many ways such as: direct shortwave band entry, direct frequency entry, up-down tuning and scanning. Plus you can tune the bands with the good old fashioned tuning knob (that has new fashioned variable-rate tuning). There is also a the dual-event programmable timer. Whether you are listening to AM, shortwave, FM or XM, you will experience superior audio quality via a bridged type audio amplifier, large built in speaker and continuous bass and treble tone controls. Stereo line-level output is provided for recording or routing the audio into another device such as a home stereo. The absolutely stunning LCD has 4 levels of backlighting and instantly shows you the complete status of your portable satellite radio. Many receiver parameters such as AM step, FM coverage, beep, kHz/MHz entry etc., can be set to your personal taste via the preference menu. The E1 has a built in telescopic portable satellite radio antenna for AM, shortwave and FM reception. Additionally there is a switchable antenna jack [KOK] for an external antenna.

New XM portable satellite radio from Eton/Porsche-Design. Interestingly enough they point out that while Etons website lists the unit as model number P7132, the image itself shows model number P7141. Hard to know which one is the right model number, but - who cares. The design is interesting. Note that it looks like they split the iPod-wheel concept - the volume wheel is on the left with what looks like a built-in speaker (nice touch), and the tuner wheel is on the right around the channel display. Yes, the antenna you see is because it's an AM/FM radio as well. Other features include an Alarm clock (with a snooze button - located at the lower-left of the unit picture) and it looks like 10 preset channels (across the top).

If youre an XM portable Satellite radio fan, youll be happy to hear that Delphi and XMs MyFi, the worlds first Walkman-style satellite radio, is now on sale. MyFi streams XMs 130-channels and records up to 5 hours of programming on its 128MB drive, enough for you to walk the dog around the block 600 times. Of course, you have to be a really BIG fan to pony up the $350 bucks for the portable satellite radio, plus the $10 monthly subscription feewell wait to see if version 2.0 is cheaper and has more features (like being able to transfer songs to your PC and vice versa), and is bit less, um, ugly.The Delphi MyFi XM2Go is the first self-contained portable satellite radio receiver. Just plug in headphones and use it anywhere to hear XM radio. It's not cheap, but there's nothing else like itso far. XM portable satellite radio on the go.
