What will you do when the internet goes down? Where will you get your information? Or, tired of big-tech and the mainstream media deciding what you should know? Then you might need a shortwave radio receiver (receive only, it does not transmit) like the Elite 750 Shortwave radio receiver from Eton. A shortwave radio receiver will let you tune-in stations and ham-radio operators from around the world, but the Elite 750 can also receive longwave radio, midwave radio, commercial FM, AM, AirBand, and SSB, in addition to shortwave radio signals. This kind of radio is perfect for getting information from all around the world after a major SHTF event or World War III or even for getting news and information from areas with smaller localized conflicts or war. When the internet stops working, radio will be the best method of getting information!

I used skip in high school on home made equipment. That was in 1963. During the lock Down I earned amateur Extra. What a brain work out. I am 77 now. My fight now is Cancer. Your presentation makes me smile. Thank you. RWB ❤🎉
aw man, im sorry to hear about your battles with cancer. i wish you all the best! congrats on your amateur extra license!
Congrats on the Extra and praying for your rapid return to good health. 73
Try ivermectin sir..
Prayers for the cancer fight. Congrats on the Extra as well. I still have my Dad’s old Hallicrafters SX-130 SW. Just got it working again. I have this featured video radio too. ‘73!
I used to skip classes in high school and was suspended for it a couple of times. Does that count? 😂
Thanks
Thank YOU!
I’m a HAM radio operator and I’m in full support of your free speech to speak about whatever your heart desires. 😊 Great Video!
A happy HAM!
I grew up with shortwave radio. From the 60s until the late 80s it was alive with state sponsored stations around the world. With 24\7 non-stop propaganda, it was a great tool to teach young people just how full of crap governments can be.
When I was a kid on my great-uncle's radio, I liked listening to Radio Moscow/Kiev/Cuba and then Voice of America to hear the completely opposite descriptions of the same events. My skepticism regarding "news" media grew from there.
My grandfather in Germany around 1965 had a shortwave radio I liked to play around with , in fact I found some rock n roll station in UK once ...which was awesome for a young teen .
RIP BILL COOPER, host of the greatest shortwave radio show: The Hour of the Time
Haha!
@@mayanboricua To his credit, he very accurately predicted our times, back in the early 90's or before.
Hi there, I am new to your channel. Like you, I am a novice in radio. I am a retired LEO and worked for a Motorola Shop in my area for some time, but I am retired now. If I might, I would like to pass on to you one piece of information about Scanners. Many States do not allow civilians (sorry for that) to have Scanners in Automobiles. Having a Amateur Radio License allows you to have a scanner in your car. Each State is a little different though. I wont bore anyone with my experiences with Motorola or being a Police Officer for 36.5 years. Yes, I have a Amateur License. I have found it very interesting to listen to Short Wave and HAM from all over the world. Enough about me. I'll be watching your channel and bore you with a come back now and then. I did Subscribe to you tonight.
Well less then half the states have any restriction on scanners. Maybe cops should obey the law and they wouldn’t have to resort to politicians restricting citizens from checking up on them.
you made sure twice in that paragraph to mention you were a cop. do you feel kind of worthless with out that badge? well its because the worst type of person does that job. i wouldnt brag about being a tyrant. and before you say you were one of the good cops tell me why you did nothing about the bad cops you did nothing about. i know you are all crooked its happened to me. you all overlook shit.
“Civilians”? You do realize that police are civilians too, right?
That terminology needs to be abandoned. It feeds the “us vs them” mentality most police develop. If you’re not military, you’re civilian. Cops are civilians.
I love this guys innuendoes about how “wonderfully” competent and diverse our government is. He made a fan out of me…
Yeah, we wouldn't want to reveal our actual feelings about allowing all Americans to participate in their government.
@@enricofermi67 Elaborate...
@@enricofermi67 are Democrats Americans?
I have this unit from a few years ago when it was a Grundig Satellit 750. From my attic I have 80 feet of cheap wire running down the garden and have heard stations from all over the world.
It feels hefty,well-made and sounds nice. Great radio. Great video, cheers. P. S It cost $250 when I bought it.maybe 9 years ago
I have the same Grudig Satellit 750👍
Good video DE W5THC
There is an option for that radio also on the Amazon link, what are the primary differences between the two?

My TECSUN , the manufacturer of Grundig and ETON , model S-2000 is a good price point field radio !
Thanks! Love your videos

I've bought this last year while building my off grid van. This works great.
Yet another item I'm adding to my 2023 Christmas list.... although, it would appear That You've made this radio quite popular.... it's now $448...
👍👍☆☆☆ Never seen a SW Radio before ... wow ! 👌 THANKS 😊 ...Alan in 🇨🇱 GREAT DEMO
I don't own a single radio. I still watch your videos. You're hilarious and informative. Thanks.👍
do you have CAR RADIO
@@stalin200000 i do.. I have my technician license and my GMRS license since I made this comment a year ago. 🤠👍
You don’t own a single radio? Hard to believe.
I bought one after watching this video. I realize I could have gotten a cheaper radio but I liked your description of the tuning action. I’m happy with it and there is a lot for me to learn after a life of radio ignorance. Thanks!
What cheaper radio? I'm interested
I’m tuned in to your answer 😂
Thanks!
Thank YOU!

Awesome review!
Thanks!
I LOVE This Guy! He knows his stuff and has the right attitude. I am ordering the ETON Elite 750 tonight!
I could care less about hamm radios or short wave radios, I watch this channel for the sheer value of entertainment! You sir are awesome!
If you could care less.. then you have not reached zero caring.. there is therefore still a degree of caring that you are doing..
@peterbates4696 I recenly heard Trump use the term and not sure why I was a bit suprised he got it right. All I can figure is the wrong, most popular usage just sounds better to people, but in the end, well, you know...
I don’t know why you don’t have ten million subscribers. Even with a relatively niche market like radio, people are missing out by not being subscribed to your channel. You’re killing it and I appreciate every video you post. Thank you.
Maybe it's the t-shirt
I agree!
It's because his personality is grumpy...
It's his eyes! They are...soooo...enchanting....

My entire garage had been turned into a shrine to you Randy. Your picture is surrounded by candles and cheap Chinese radios. All hail Randy!
Every proper Randy shrine must have a Baofeng UV-5R centered underneath a large portrait photo of Randy. If you don’t have this, you don’t have an orthodox shrine and you’re an apostate!
This is a very helpful video. Straight forward, logical, clear, and told me what I needed to know as a novice without prompting more technical questions in my mind, than answers - which is what usually happens with RUclips SW videos. Many thanks for uploading it.
As a General Class ham, I appreciate your productions and your personality with the ribbing. There's no fun if guys can't give each other a little $hit.
Thanks! You're reviews are awesome! Don't let those sad hams get you down ;-) 73, K7KAZ
Thank YOU!
I took a $35 gamble (as it didn't have a power supply so as to test it), and scored the Grundig version of this from my favorite second-hand store.
Brought it home, attached the proper AC/DC adapter to it, and it powered up! - - Some of the controls were on the "scratchy" side, and not consistent in their performance, but less than 45 minutes later, and with some electronic components spray cleaner, the controls were back to operating perfectly!
I still need to string a super-long antenna up in my attic so as to test its full capabilities, but so far, the performance has been more than satisfactory! The one feature (so far) that I wished it had that it doesn't, is the ability to set the clock in regular "civilian" (AM/PM) time, vs the mandated 24hr (military) time. Great find, and I can't help but wonder about the "Why's" of the person who gave this gem away!!
Btw, can't believe that you're not happy with many of President Biden's appointments and nominees for Government positions! Being a person who has had an interest in aviation for over 50 years, I was just "thrilled" that he nominated someone to head the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) that was 100% "qualified"; though he had ZERO, ZERO, ZERO, aviation experience, having not so much as spent 30 minutes behind the controls of a Piper Cub (and probably hasn't a clue as to what Microsoft Flight Simulator is!), BUT he is 100% "WOKE", and therefore would meet all of the "stringent" vetting requirements that this administration has become so (IN) famous for!! (He also has an equally qualified "expert" on national transportation issues, as witnessed by the recent cataclysmic train derailment in Ohio!!!)
The train derailments are caused by republican deregulation of industry. And could you please explain Dejoy's qualifications to run the US Postal Service?
@@enricofermi67satire appears lost to you.
@@enricofermi67 us poststals assist in ballot fraud, is that why your so interested in the postals
Well, this didnt age well....2nd of February 2025.....Blackhawk crashes into civilian aircraft.....and the evidence is not looking good for the DEI hired chopper pilot....
I just want you to know I bought this through your affiliate link below 👍, Thank you for the great video!
This is the most fun I've ever had with one of your videos.
The dryness of the humor is at a Saharan July level, and the political insight is absolutely spot-on without revealing any specific the whistleblowing information.
Two of my favorite things in life are learning and laughing and this video made me do both.
🤗📻👨🎓
It is a great radio. I have had one for years and still works like a champ
Glad to hear, considering this for my first sw radio. I've own a few walkies and ham(not for transmit, just listening). I was particularly looking for something that has good support for different antenna and this seems to be a solid option.
Your T-shirt had me laughing so hard I almost passed out. Bravo!
I'm ordering one of these asap. The Barry White knob was the clinching reason. Thank you sir. Btw the display peel was very soothing.
This video is extremely frustrating. Extremely frustrating that there's only one thumbs up button! Bravo sir, another fine video. Keep up the good work. 👍👏
Thanks for the video. I bought this radio last year. I think it is worth the price. I bought it so I could stay connected to the world when the power goes out or the Internet is not working. Or I guess even if the crazy people take over (more than already) at least I can hear about what is going on. Plus there is a cool factor in listening to shortwave radio for old farts / radio dorks like me. Looking at getting a CB handheld that operations on FM next. No, I don't need it... just want it. Thanks again!
One really important good feature with this radio is that the power brick is a transformer type, not the switching type that will have "spurious emissions" that will interfere with weak signals.
I have this receiver and really like it. (I am a glad ham.) I was able to utilize my existing HF antennae to increase the reception greatly. HF antennae are easy to make. Good review.
Glad hams for the win! I'm selling around $1500 of tax calculators that I've had so I can afford some new radios... starting with the QYT KT8900
I’m leaning toward this receiver but am not quite there, yet. How long have you had yours? From the many reviews and comments I have read on different forums, it seems people either love/like it or hate it.
Have had mine for a little over a year now and cant find anything to dislike yet. @@maureen3134
Hams are like airplane pilots, they can’t seem to NOT mention it every chance they get.
Had one for years. Hasn’t changed a bit. Took a beating and kept on going. Much better than cheaper ones I had.
I love this channel your sense of humor and sarcasm is right up my alley. Keep up the great work!!
Only one left in stock and now $499. Too rich for my blood. Thanks, Randy....(insert sarcasm) 😉
Looks like a very nice radio to me. Well build aswell. At the moment i'm using an SDRPlay RSP1A 1 kHz - 2 GHz, and i'm very happy with that.
Your sarcasm keeps me coming back to your videos. Also my total lack of knowledge about radios
Great Video, love the shirts. I have a couple of small shortwave radios and after researching, it was my understanding that shortwave in and of itself was diminishing. This radio will be best for listening to the Ham frequencies as I am sure, in a SHTF scenario, there will be a lot of chatter ...
I agree with you and getting true news, I have a DR 49 by Panasonic. Your right we will need this in the future.
Nice shortwave radio...Eton used to be called Grundig, which was a great shortwave radio maker As for WWIII if that does indeed happen and goes nuclear (even small tact nukes), we have to worry about EMP's killing all our electronics. Faraday cage! Great video sir.
"As for WWIII if that does indeed happen" virtually everyone will die, so it is silly to suggest that "preparation" is meaningful 🤪
@@sandhill9313 whoa big world war expert over here
Get a vacuum tube radio. Impervious to emp
@@jjiacobucci is it true? I don't have any experience with vacuum tubes, but I thought they still have other electronic components inside the radio as well. Are those other components not susceptible?
@@sandhill9313, wrong
First time viewer, really enjoyed your sense of humor, irony and sarcasm while being informative. It's apparent you grew up when there were morals and freedom - me too. Thank you. I will be a subscriber. Keep up the realism!
Dang...I _wondered_ what those holes in my wall were. I was just getting ready to fill them in with liquid plaster and paint over them. Now I'm glad I didn't! Since watching this, I've been plugging all sorts of things into those holes --- things that I thought were broken. But since plugging them into the wall holes, they've sprung into life! I thought they were broken! Once again, watching this channel has saved me tons of money.
Love you Man! Now in the middle of treatment, a laugh with a tear! That expert upsets me. I made my first transmitter from a Kit. Next time Skit the loud mouth. 73 K2QXQ. RWB ❤😂
Randy, I have seen TONS of reviews on this radio, but yours is the ABSOLUTE easiest to understand. I would like to see you do more SW radio reviews if you can wedge them into your schedule. 🙂
Sub'ed after the first 1:36 just for the eloquent pronunciation of the "ETON" , "E-TAN", "EEE-TON" radio !!! LOVE IT!
I have this radio as well. Love it. Nice reception on SW and AM/FM. Great sound. Enjoy.
PS. The D cells last forever.
Great channel 🇺🇸
I have this radio. It’s my most prized radio.
I was so mesmerized by your hypnotic hand gestures that I couldn’t resist buying this radio!!
lol tropic thunder paused on the wall, awesome!
One of the most important videos I've seen here.
Dammit I bought one! I started listening to shortwave back during the Persian Gulf War. Love your GMRS collection on the floor.
You must be one heck of a seller. It has risen in price to $450. Good job on the review. They seriously owe you a sponsor.
Not even a month amd the price flew to $499
$750 on Amazon canada
Omg!! I literally have this in my shopping cart at Amazon just waiting for me press buy. Will watch your video and see what you have to say about it… the other reviews I have seen have been all over the place.. on a side note.. Love the shirt.
I’m feeling your political views so I joined your channel. Great video!
Thanks for creating this channel. Possibly ,the most entertaining Radio channel on RUclips.
Thanks Randy. I enjoy your content geared for normal people.
I can remember the glory days of International Shortwave Broadcasting. Sadly, it's long gone and will never return. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of interesting things to listen to if you look in the right places. Everything that you do on the internet is tracked and stored. However, there is no way to track what people are listening to on a shortwave receiver. Yes, buy a shortwave receiver while you still can.
There are still a few shortwave stations but Internet is much less expensive than maintaining a radio station these days. Nobody can track what you’re listening to on SW, but governments can track what someone is broadcasting over SW. That can influence the messages sent.
it looks identical to the grundig 750, as usual, great info great video, cheers,MINT"
Everyone needs a Short Wave radio…
I have had the eton executive radio and the eton mini radio for a few years now. Excellent radios. Excellent video . Health and prosperity to you and your family.
I received this radio today. I am listening to a hard to receive AM station clear as a bell! Good job Randy I’m looking forward to exploring this radio’s capabilities.
how has it been working for you? and have you been able to find any interesting talk radio not available on am/fm?
New favorite channel. I just started watching you for your baofeng uv-5r tutorials. Hilarious, and educational.
Beautiful! Maybe they'll watch and the next version will have an AC power supply that fits in that little compartment. I'm looking for one with fewer features in the $200 range because I'm a cheap old bastard.
Came for the shortwave review. Subscribed because of the t-shirt!
I like that you are featuring other radio related products, apart from GMRS… Thank you!
"Maybe you are just a Radio Dork who requires more toys to fill that hole in your soul"...
I am a Radio Dork who USED to have a hole in my soul. but watching this RUclips channel and buying a few of the toys reccomended herein filled that hole nicely.
“incompetent yet diverse…” I really like your phraseology.
go to the channel called "John Talks". He's got short daily videos of our government in action (he doesn't narrate or anything, just the clips themselves that leave you jaw dropped)
That's exactly what it is; competence doesn't seem figure into the equation.
"Incompetent, yet diverse" is redundant.
For a second there I thought you invited an expert on the show to explain things. Then he went and said the earth was round, lololol.
I am glad that you mentioned the administration's march to folly. Those of us actually paying attention realize that WWIII is on the table for this diverse administration. We should all be terrified.
You are the best RUclipsr! Keep up the good work!
When the protective plastic distraction came off, I had to buy it.
I love the feeling of peeling that stuff off. Oh yeah!

your radio collection getting big since your first youtube vid👍
After subbing your channel I've discovered your videos are not only very informative but I love your humor.
Having some shortwave listening experience over the last 30+ years with several cheap and one $150.00 price range Eton E5 radio, I presume the model profiled here would be a very decent home "table top" unit. The multiplicity of frequency options should make for a very reasonable portal for information in an " information blackout" scenario. Being able to copy high frequency SSB HAM traffic over great distances is very very good. No matter what or where something is happening, someone will be talking about it. Good video review and great suggestion for the not tuned into radio folks that were wondering about "things".
I bought an Eton Elite Executive, Tecsun PL-660, and Tecsun PL-330 for about 300 bucks total. They all have external antenna ports, are very portable, and you can use simple USB powered NiMH chargers with solar panels to keep them running. The PL-330 can be directly USB charged and can also be set for use with external antennas on the AM broadcast band. Plus with three receivers I have redundancy.
Haha Had to stop and comment just for that shirt. I love it! 😂
Wow, now Jason is on the channel. This is awesome.
Who knew a radio channel could be this entertaining. SNL hasn't even been this funny since Eddit Murphy. Thanks for doing what you do.
Back in the mid- to late-1990s, I had a long wire antenna hooked up to a SW radio from Radio Shack. I used to listen to the BBC World Service in the evenings, along with some German broadcasters. Most of the stations I listened to have quit broadcasting to North America because (a) cost, (b) lack of listeners, and (c) the internet.
So did I. Strangely, there was a duo on Radio Moscow that were hilarious.
Good memories. Around those same years, I also liked to listen good music at WRNO (World Radio New Orleans) and news at the BBC, and adjusted my clocks and watches with the signal synced to the atomic time. "At the tone, the time is.."
Hello Sir,
I have watched several of your videos now, and I want to thank you for your “regular guy” reviews of what are complicated devices, in particular, a recent review of what many consider the best scanner. I will be watching more of your videos, as I find them not too overwhelming, yet enough for getting the general idea of the product in question.
Thanks again.
The revealing of the plastic display cover music scenen is PRICELESS! Thank you for tge Saturday morning smile! Luv your content!
Dramaturgy 🤖
I used to have a eton sw radio until a cat knocked it off my window sill and broke it. Heard all kinds of crazy stuff on it and I loved tuning into the atomic clock.
Kitty Cat killed the radio!

Awesome shirt!
You won my subscription with your political correctness. 😂
Same
The atmosphere is round, but the ground looks pretty level even if you go up and down a hill it’s still level
FOUR CHANNELS!? I was robbed as a kid. We only had three channels! Black & white... steam powered TV... that we watched by candle light... in a cardboard box 😞we lived in... with the dogs and cats...🐶🐱at the end of a dirt road... 😞I was the antenna...😳
The second I saw you using the chewed pencil pointer. I knew you were crew. Thank you for posting. This was an awesome review. I'm onboard.
I am, in fact, a radio dork and I require more toys to fill that hole in my soul. Thank you for noticing. 😢
THANK YOU! I've been looking and looking for a very good, multi band emergency radio and THIS is it. It will be stored in a "garbage can" Faraday cage (you know, "just in case"). With a BLUETTI AC200 MAX Li, Fe, P battery and 220 watt Off Grid TREK solar blanket to charge the BLUETTI. With these I'llable to power several devices and charge my e-mountain bike's 2 batteries. .
i think I'll look for rechargeable D-cell batteries and a charger. Be nice if ETON built this in along with a USB receptacle. (hint)
Let me & the others here know where your able to find one?
Thanks...
Omg you are friggin hilarious and that t-shirt had me in tears laughing 😂.
Great demo!
Oh my lord, that T shirt! Randy your too much 😂
Ok, I’m just gonna say it. Somebody has to say it, so here it goes. YOU sir, are the best RUclipsr on the planet. There, it’s been said.
LOL that shirt had me rolling. Love your channel and how you don't take any of this super serious. Quality Content
😅 Your hilarious comments caught me off-guard with your deadpan delivery. Thanks for the info. Looking for grid-down options right now.
Incompetent, yet diverse.
Perfect description.
Some people might disagree.
You do an excellent excellent job of explaining every single detail. Thank you 🙏 so very much. I’m new to communication devices and you videos have been such an inspiration and encouragement for me. Again thank you so very much
This looks like as very useful radio, but you need to remember you'll need different antennas for certain bands, like the aircraft (120-130 MHz) band.
I think I'd use the secret storage area for an extra set of batteries, or an antenna wire, earphones, or maybe chocolates? ;)😉
Other than that, I think it's more important to know *where* to tune (tornado, hurricane, riots, SHTF, etc.)
I haven't found any useful books or web sites for that- they only care about ham radio!
Dude! You’re awesome! Thank God you’re a local! I enjoy and learn a lot from your vids
Love when people sit safe and sound in America and complain about our “inept government”. We have it better than any other civilization in history and we can’t watch a video without people getting their panties in a wad about the government. No matter who is in office I gotta get up and go to work every morning. Thank god for channels that keep it real and grounded.
Excellent video.
Mine is the Tecsun S-2000. It's the same radio as the Eton Elite 750. My radio was made for the European market.
They are excellent receivers. My S-2000 came powered by these 3 Power Sources:
4D Alkaline Batteries
220V AC Power (AC power cord included for Asia market) It's hard wired into the radio and it will NOT work in a 120 volt U S outlet.
6V DC Jack (DC adaptor included for Europe market) (Mine was missing the 6 volt adapter. Had to purchase separately)
