Although I fear I sound like a broken record, your readers should be aware that this is a good time to buy Eton Executive series radios. On Amazon the prices are edging lower everyday while supplies last. Obviously Eton is making way for their new Elite series.
Here are the current prices. Many are all time low prices…
Thank you for the tip, Christian!

I agree with you, Christian: Eton is obviously liquidating their “Executive” models to make way for the new Elite series.
Eton just seems to keep re-releasing the same radios year after year with even more super-duper sounding names and different wrapping. Admittedly the market is shrinking and R&D costs on true new designs would likely not be recouped, but why the constant churn?
“someradio” becomes “someradio grundig edition” becomes “someradio executive” becomes “someradio elite” beomes ….
Boy That’s a good buy for a Grinding Satellite Shortwave Radio,I would consider purchasing one,when I get a chance!
Does anyone know the actual changes between the ‘Executive’ and ‘Elite’ line of radios? For example, what changed between the ‘Executive’ Traveler and the ‘Elite’ Traveler, or the regular Mini and the ‘Elite’ Mini? Is this published anywhere?
