If you're looking for a solid pocket radio, and you think you might enjoy tuning in broadcasts from around the globe, then the Etón E100 might be the choice for you. As the kid brother to the acclaimed E10, this radio packs lots of value and lets you listen to stations near and far. Plus, it offers a convenient, pocket-sized way to bring clear AM/FM, and limited shortwave radio reception anywhere you go.
Simple to operate and carry, the E100 is great for tuning in the world wherever the notion strikes you. View larger. |

Design and Controls
Measuring 5 x 3 x 1.25 inches, and weighing a mere seven ounces, the E100 is certainly in the pocket-sized radio category. Thankfully, the same rubberized coating that graces the exterior of the E10 has been applied to the E100, giving it a stout and rugged feel. Most of the action can be found on the front of the unit, where you'll find a direct frequency entry keypad, as well as buttons for auto-scanning (hold down the "up" or "down" tuning buttons for a moment, and the auto-scan takes over), up/down station selection, band selection, memory control, bandwidth, power, sleep, and more. All these controls, as well as the LCD display, are arranged to the right of the E100's built-in speaker.
On the left side of the E100 you'll find a 3.5mm connector for headphones and a DC jack power port. Etón has included a set of earbud-style earphones for private listening right out of the box, or the small, built-in speaker on the front of the device allows you to share broadcasts with other listeners. In addition to the power port and headphone jack, this side of the radio also sports an antenna gain switch that lets you choose between H/M/L, allowing you to tone down excessively strong AM or shortwave stations if need be.
The right side of the unit features a fine-tuning dial. This knob has a nice, smooth action, but a note of caution here: the knob can be easily plucked from its posts. If you tend to jostle your gear around, you may find yourself looking for a lost knob. In addition to the fine-tuning dial, this side of the radio also sports a key lock switch. The lock allows you tune a station, lock the radio, and listen without worrying about accidentally pressing a button or bumping a dial. This is a particularly handy function for a pocket radio. One curiosity is the "tone" switch, which lets you choose between high and low. We assume the switch is intended to enhance the lower or upper music ranges when selected, but the difference between the two settings wasn't noticeable. The E100 also features a telescoping antenna on the top of the unit that extends to over 20 inches for FM and shortwave reception, and there is a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM reception. In addition to AC power (not included), the E100 can also run off of two supplied AA batteries.
LCD Display
The E100's display is crisp and clear, with a clean layout that makes it easy to control the radio's tuning, clock, and timer functions. A separate space in the upper right corner is provided for the clock display so you can view the time and tune the radio at the same time -- a nice touch for a pocket-sized radio. Selecting shortwave meter bands is a breeze with this display, as you simply push the meter band button until the meter you want is displayed on the screen. The radio's memories are easy to browse and recall on the display, as well.
A crisp, clear display and a keypad for direct frequency entry. View larger. |
Another interesting feature of the E100, and one that depends on the display for its functionality, is the system set codes function. Using specific codes, you can modify the E100's factory settings via the display and the numeric keypad. Some of the options include changing the tuning steps for AM, changing the clock format, and altering the FM frequency range for different geographic locations.
Tuning Options
Tuning the E100 is straightforward. The radio tunes MW (commonly known as AM), FM and shortwave signals, and you can choose from manual, auto-scan, direct frequency entry, or fine-tuning modes. If you're new to shortwave, auto-scan will quickly become your friend. With it, we quickly made discoveries, and heard stations from all over the world -- although our limited language skills made it difficult to always know exactly to whom or what we were listening! We found the manual, up/down button press-tuning the most laborious, but we liked the fine-tuning accuracy made possible by the E100's tuning knob.
The E100's impressive memory system also deserves mention. With it, you can set up a huge catalog of stored frequencies -- 550 of them to be exact. Once stored, recalling all these memories is pretty easy, thanks to a straightforward on-screen interface. You can also scan through your memories to rapidly find the frequencies that are currently broadcasting.
Pros
- Very compact, given the radio's features and reception quality
- Clear layout of functions on the LCD
- Fast, accurate shortwave tuning
Cons
- Knobs should be better secured to the unit
- Somewhat useless "tone" switch

Amazon.com Product Description
If you want the power of a full-featured AM/FM shortwave radio and a digital tuner wrapped up in an incredibly small package, look no further than the E100, which is part of Etón's Elite series of digital world radios. At just five inches wide, an inch and a quarter thick, and weighing in at a svelte seven ounces, this little wonder is the ultimate go-anywhere premium digital radio. It's a great way to tune in to local and international news, music, and sports wherever you roam.
Design and Controls
The E100's integrated speaker offers full-range sound while the digital frequency readout displays accurate frequency stepping for all three bands. Above the tuning information, the bright, backlit LCD screen also displays clock and alarm info. There's space on the display for FM stereo reception status, signal strength, and power level, as well. In addition to push-button tuning on the front panel -- including direct frequency entry via a numeric keypad -- there's an independent fine-tuning control knob on the right side of the device for really getting those hard-to-tune stations. You also get an antenna gain control switch, a rotary volume control, and a high and low tone control. A built-in telescopic antenna handles FM and shortwave reception, and there's a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM.
Tuning and Bands
On the FM band, the E100 tunes from 87.0 to 108.0 MHz. AM and global medium wave tuning is supported between 520 and 1710 KHz, and shortwave tuning is offered between 1711 and 29.995 KHz. A 9/10KHz step size selector allows you to get correct worldwide medium wave (AM) reception. Meanwhile, an auto-scan function lets you surf stations quickly and 200 random programmable memories let you mark your best finds.
Connections and Power
The E100's stereo headphone jack makes it easy to listen to the radio in full stereo without disturbing others. The unit can be powered with an AC adapter (not included), or via two "AA" batteries.
Extras
The E100's digital clock can be set to display in 12 or 24 hour format. It also lets you wake up to your favorite station, while a sleep timer automatically shuts the radio off after a preset interval so you can drift off to sleep to the sound of the radio.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Radio.......2007-03-28
This radio is fantastic. Clock w/ alarm, lighted display can stay on for a few seconds or indefinitely.
Scans a huge range for shortwave and picks up AM and FM especially well. 2 AA batteries seem to last forever. It's very small and I only paid $28 on ebay w/ shipping for a brand new radio (unopened & unused).
Doesn't get the sideband & ham, but I didn't really want to listen to that smack-talk anyway.
An excellent radio!.......2007-02-22
Please understand that this radio is NOT a DXer's radio. It lacks single side band (listening to hams and utility stations) and dual conversion circuitry (image rejection). However, it is a superb radio for listening to major broadcasters such as the BBC World Service or Radio Canada International. It is very small (about the size of a pack of cigarettes) and only requires two AA batteries. The signal/battery life indicator are handy features. It is also has very good weak signal sensitivity. If you are looking for a small, basic radio that DOES cover the full SW spectrum, then this radio is a good buy.
Eton 100 - Tecsun PL-200.......2006-10-30
This Eton radio is the U.S. domestic version of the Chinese Tecsun PL-200 all-band pocket sized radio. The Chinese version is legended in the native language and utilitarian in appearance. The Eton is, well, in English with slight curves. I have used and tested other Tecsun produced radios, including the PL-550 and the Grundig eTraveller VII. Both are excellent radios, but this radio, which is quite portable and can fit into a shirt pocket, not a watch pocket, but a normal sized pocket, preserves the superperlative frequency discrimination of the much larger PL-550, as well as the ability to directly enter the frequency desired (if you know it), or scan through the AM, FM and many shortwave bands, find the stations you like and store their frequencies. Closely allied, for example, FM stations within 200 kHz (only the strongest will be heard on most commercial FM receivers) of each other, can be picked up with clarity, positioning the manuverable whip antenna. Very, very few radios, excepting expensive car radios, can boast such performance in the Unites States. In addition, apparently, when headphones are connected, the radio uses their wires as well as the whip antenna - an uncommon feature in radios of this type - which permits retraction of the built-in telescoping whip antenna for all but shortwave and difficult to discriminate FM stations. I had previously recommended the eTraveller VII, now discontinued, as the only decent all band radio that would fit in your coat pocket, but the Eton 100 and PL-200 beat it by a large margin, not the least of which their attributes being a lighted display so useful in not annoying significant others nearby in the darkness when one is addicted to listening at night. Now on the market are other comparable radios, all made by Tecsun in China using the very same sophisicated reception circuitry regelated previously to expensive shortwave receivers. In addition, for those weak, but interesting, FM stations that one can get on mono but with an obfuscating hiss on stereo, when one doesn't need stereo to just listen to, for example, the news, this radio has a mono-stereo switch. This radio is simply excellent for its size and performance. Alas, as with almost all radios this size, there is no single side band (SSB) reception, an enhancement that, defying digital technology, actually requires listener intervention to optimize and has great potential, but has, for the present at least, been consigned to the province of the technical listener more interested in ascertaining distant reception than actual broadcast information. The Dalai Lama for all his 5,000 watts SSB from Tibet can not be heard on this radio. China Radio shortwave, at 150,000 watts, with Canadian relay stations, does just fine. Australian radio, at the same power, Radio Havana, Radio Serbia, Croatia, Russia, Netherlands, Sweden, India, Israel, etc., at lesser power, and some with and most without relay stations, are also heard clearly on the Eastern seaboard during their times of broadcast - usually in the early evening EST.
Poor Performer.......2006-07-10
I have 2 other SW radios with a lower price than this one and the reception for each is much better. Disappointed.
SUPER radio!.......2006-06-30
This radio works great! It's compact and sturdy. It has a lot of nice features. The best one is the reception and digital tuning. I have a favorite station on FM that is difficult to receive. It's frequency is too close to a more powerful station. This radio can single out my favorite weaker station. I love it!

Great versatility.......2007-01-10
Lightyears back you could push a button on your radio and get a station. Now you can do it again with the Eton 100. If you are in a heavy station market you can program in a hundred or so AM, FM AND SW stations. It is a quality made little radio but the speaker is too small to get good sound. However the sound is wonderful if are able to listen with ear phones. I'm pleased with the unit and highly recommend it, given its sound quality shortcomings.

Good value for the price. Picture is quite good with DVD's and very good with HD input. The Sony 23" has somewhat better detail and image quality for significantly more money. The Panasonic also lacks an HDMI input, which may or may not be important to you.
I found a rather modest improvement in image quality in moving from S-Video to Component Video inputs -- which is not too surprising, given this small screen size.
