Outstanding Receiver with Good SSB Performance
I'm finding this to be a very good portable receiver. It is very sensitive, has multiple bandwidths to ensure good selectivity, and has good audio output. One of my top criteria is good SSB performance, and the Eton Elite Executive has it. DSP receivers have a poor reputation for rendering SSB, but I find this receiver to be quite good at this. I think in that regard it compares well to the Tecsun PL-660 and PL-680 analog receivers, and it is much, much better than the PL-880 and PL-990 DSP receivers. Sync detection is also far better than on the PL-880 and PL-990, although still not up to the standard of the old Sony ICF-SW-7600. As far as ease of use, yes, there are some "quirks" that require a review of the manual in order to understand them, but once mastered the receiver is easy to use, and the manual is well written and easy to understand. Air band performance is good also, and compares well with the PL-660 and the Icom IC-R6. One limitation is that although an external antenna connection is provided, it does not function on Medium Wave. On shortwave the receiver tends to overload when a large external antenna is used, but this can be resolved by selecting the antenna switch from DX to LO(cal). I understand from other reviewers that the Medium Wave and FM performance is very good, but I haven't made much use of those two bands yet, so can't comment meaningfully. I've admired this receiver for a long time, but was never willing to pay the full asking price, but for so long as it is available at clearance prices it's a "can't miss" opportunity!
