Drains the battery quickly

This radio has a big bug. If you keep the batteries, the backlit watch face will stay on. Even without using the radio, the batteries will be empty in a week.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • The list will be long.

I can't seem to get it to do anything on the SW tapes.

Firstly the construction is good as is the FM and AM performance BUT I can't get anything other than static and leather on any of the SW bands Case absent. remove without damaging it once.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons

Great little mini to own.

I liked this Eton Elite Mini Radio so much that I had to buy an Eton Elite Traveller. The fit and finish is impeccable, this is truly a personal mini radio. must own. The quality of Eton radios is amazing, the hand finish is impeccable. I have a few other radios but the Eton radios are excellent, now I'm saving for an elite Eton manager. Very good sound for a personal mini radio and excellent sensitivity.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Great little radio!

My Eton Elite Mini arrived today and so far has not disappointed. I hooked up an antenna with a long wire, Mercer Wisconsin in Madagascar 9344 miles. NHK World Radio Japan, 9855 Talata Volondri. For €20 I can't complain. It's a very "simple" radio, no memory and no SSB, but I really like it. They don't call it Mini for nothing. It's about the size of a deck of cards and very thin. The scan function also works very well. I have many shortwave radios, some Etons, which are a bit more complex once

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Negative gift

Excellent shortwave results on Eton Elite Mini

Really liked this radio. Very easy to pick up and go. I found the screen to be readable outdoors, which bothered me a bit. It has above-average shortwave reception, so I often use it when I go for a walk. I have picked up many remote stations and look forward to using them again. I was also able to pick up a distant FM station and the quality seems good there too. I haven't tested AM/MW much, but it also seems to be at least sufficient. I didn't like the leather bag at first, but I liked it. It

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not sure

GREAT POCKET RADIO!

This is a 5 star radio, great reception with built in antenna, great for AM/FM and even shortwave! Sleep timer and alarm mode too! This is the latest version of the Grundig/Eton pocket radio, the digital display is locked to your transmitter and has a tuning lock mode so only the volume control works. It's super value at the regular Revain price, but it's being sold for even less. If you are using a brown leather bag, be sure to loosen it up a bit as it is very tight when new. Yes, it pulls the

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Safety

Slim form factor, sounds great on local stations.

The Eton Elite Mini AM FM portable shortwave stereo works great on the bands with a little help on shortwave over a long line. The AM range is pretty good considering how thin this radio is. Does the 'Elite' moniker add extra bells and whistles? It's time to find out! Features I like about this radio: Slim and compact design. Reliable FM reception. Decent reception of shortwave with wire. Good local AM reception and decent evening reception. Let's quickly listen to one of the bands. Around the…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great companion radio

Edit 12/14/20 Since my purchase two weeks ago, Eaton have more than doubled the Revain price on this radio to $47.98 which seems a bit overpriced. . I would buy this again. If you have an Eton Traveler or Executive this is a great little companion. Fits in a shirt pocket. Pros: Clear, clean sound for its size. Receives FM, MW and SW very well (almost as good as Eton Traveler). Fits in a shirt pocket. can be improved by adding: - Kickstand - Rubberized edges or corners - Add some internal weight

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Disappears

The leather case gives this small radio a luxurious touch

Excellent FM and HF reception; good reception in AM; Good sound for a radio of this size. The controls are easy to use. The display is an attractive orange LCD that is easy on the eye. The leather case gives this radio a really nice luxurious touch but I only wish they had designed the case so you can see the radio's display inside the case. Then you can leave the leather case on all the time, except when changing the batteries. (Cutouts are already provided for most controls.) Sound from the…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
