Hi Thomas. I know both of these deals have been posted already but just to let readers know that both the Eton Exec Traveller and Exec Satellite are still available on Amazon and the prices are both at historic lows.
Right now the Satellite is $91.13 (shipped) and the Traveler $38.00 (shipped). Oddly the older non-Exec version of the Traveler is $56 and the non-Exec version of the Satellite is $189! Don’t accidentally order one of those models. The Eton Field BT is also $79.99 shipped…quite the value.
As others have mentioned here I think Eton may be liquidating their shortwave radio stock. Hope they’ll be replaced with something else.
Thanks for the heads-up, Christian–I appreciate your updates. I’m curious if you or other readers have noticed lower Eton prices on other sites as well. I have not.
Here are links to the models on sale at Amazon. Note that these are Amazon affiliate links–purchasing via these links supports the SWLing Post at no cost to you:
The price shown as $ 91.13 has been increased to $ 109.99.
Yes. Amazon changes their prices constantly. Sometimes their deal prices only last one day or possibly less. They’re in constant fluctuation.
This portable has always been on my “someday” list, but other things kept getting in the way. Well, until last weekend when I pulled the trigger on one. Very impressed with its performance especially off the whip antenna.
I’ve ordered one with shipping to the UK as I’m impressed with the reports on this unit and believe it will be a good all rounder to take abroad with 🙂
It’s a good deal. Even with the import taxes and VAT. Pretty much the same performance as the Xhdata D-808 according to Oxford Shortwave.
