The LOCK button is stuck so the radio cannot be used.

My first (and probably last) Eton radio. The "LOCK" button gets stuck in the depressed position, making it difficult (and probably ultimately impossible) to lock or unlock the radio controls. Very bad. It's a very nice radio and a quick check showed that the reception was quite good. The relatively large speaker also produces a pleasant sound.

sweet, loving and powerful.

Just got the radio in the mail. I'm listening to an FM station that none of my other radios can pick up. I am impressed. The radio is thin but solid. Others complain about battery drain.

That's why I often stay up late at night. With the shortwave capabilities, although not the basic capabilities of a radio receiver, they work, and assuming I add good quality headphones I can select some transmitters that I used to work with…

  • Shortwave Radios
