Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Chris Freitas, who notes that the new Eton Elite Field radio is on a “limited time” sale at Amazon.com. The price is a very enticing $78.00 with free one day shipping and free returns.

Important note: like the Eton Elite Executive deal we posted recently, this promotion is noted as a “limited time” deal. It seems that when they run out of their current stock, you may be able to still find the promotional price via Eton, but the shipping date may be pushed out several weeks.
The Bluetooth model is also $78.99 but I am not sure if the link provided in the post links the Bluetooth version. Based on the description I would say it is not but you can do a search on Amazon for Eton Elite Field and you will see Bluetooth version.
I think it IS with the Bluetooth feature. If you look at the upper left switch, is shows
AM N, AM W, Bluetooth emblem, and FM. This matches the Field BT that I own.
Apparently Eton has made at least three variations of this radio:
The one I have says “GRUNDIG Edition” across the top and then “Field BT” in the upper right.
The Eton Website is blank at the top and then “Field BT” in the upper right.
The Eton website also calls this radio “Elite Field”.
The photo from Amazon is Blank at the top and then “Elite Field” in the upper right.
All three show the same “AM N, AM W, BT, FM” switch positions.
I wonder if there were any circuit changes made between the variations,
or is it just rebranding of the radio.

Note that this is the unit WITHOUT the Bluetooth speaker feature.
At least, that’s how it looked when I saw it on Amazon.
