I have this radio and it's very well built. I learnt a few more things about it's features from the video. Outstanding battery life - had it on batteries for 5 months before they gave out. I'm not a heavy user though. I live in a solid concrete apartment complex so I haven't been able to really explore it's AM and SW capability. One thing I don't like with these portables that have an "aux in" is that you can't switch to am or fm by toggling with a switch. You deactivate the aux by unplugging the cable and plugging it in again to reactivate. Table radios have a toggle switch capability. I'd be interested to know how this radio compares on AM and FM to the CCrane 2E bluetooth radio which is a lot more expensive. Perhaps Todd you could do a comparison?
Former avid SW listener here. I managed to score about 200 QSLs mostly through the 70s. I spent some time looking for a new radio to get me back into the hobby and I eventually landed here. I was impressed enough with your review to go out and get one of these myself even though the price has since gone up and the SW bands are not nearly as active as they once were. My verdict, like yours is that this is an excellent radio.I set up a 25 foot bare copper wire antenna in my yard and the SW reception is great. After 2 weeks , I have already sent out reception reports and I expect to see some new 2020 QSLs soon. I'm also greatly impressed with the bluetooth feature, which allows me to play music through my house from my phone with very good sound quality. Thanks again for your detailed and accurate review.
Thanks todderbert, that eaton field is one of my favorite radios. Ive only had it for 2 days now but its awesome. I think of it as my portable elite 750. I got the bag and so far taken everywhere and even gotten compliments. Co workers say thanks also.
I just got one and it's pretty good with reception and sound. I'm using a Sangean wire spool antennae which really helps, but I need more for the AM band. My biggest gripe is the darn power button, as I'm always accidentally hitting it while handling the radio. It needs to be recessed and a lot less touchy. Very informative video.
just use the lock button just below the power button. I figured this out after running through 2 sets of batteries
Thank you. I was looking for a SW/FM radio without all the other stuff (Air, Weather, etc) and you just showed me the item. Perfect.
I bought one of these mid-March 2020. I had gotten into the radio hobby a couple weeks before with a Sony ICF-SW22 that I'd inherited, and promptly broke. The world was falling apart, and while other people were stockpiling toilet paper I panic bought a shortwave receiver. I've enjoyed the heck out of this thing; the sound quality is amazing and FM reception is like nothing else I've ever encountered; it picks up campus radio transmissions from the low-power transmitter at the community college 11km away. Nothing of its size has any business doing that. The part of radio I'm most interested in though is Shortwave. It's pretty good at that; I can pick up Radio Rebelde, and RHC pretty well most nights indoors with the telescopic whip. But I'm curious about receiving VOLMET, Sky King, and ham transmissions; and this piece of equipment won't receive those.
I've enjoyed this unit immensely and I'm glad I own it; but if I had a do-over with what I know now, I would have bought something else.
Anyone buying this radio will not be dissatisfied. I finally broke over and got mine and I truly love it. I'm still learning it's many features but so far it's great
Q. Tune will be your friend. Great radio! Have fun.
@@todderbert I tried that and it was a site to buy lasers
@@357bullfrog9 um..Q. Tune is a feature of this radio :)
@@todderbert ohh lol. Sorry bout that. I use that feature s lot. I'm just getting used to everybody recommending a web site for a question in anything these days. I forgot your a radio man like me. Thanks todderbert
Listening in southern Alberta Canada, only really getting 5000 and 10000. Got a wire antenna set up, still not getting much. Do I need to be listening in the late evening or should I be getting stations during the day?
This is a great radio. I have this upgraded model as well as the original which was also a very good receiver. The sound is excellent and great on AM/FM/SW. I don’t mind that it doesn’t have SSB. It’s kind of like today’s Radio Shack Patrolman but far more sensitive. It looks cool as well. Runs forever on batteries.
@todderbert
I'm glad to see that Eton realizes how important it is to supply a Class 2 (NON-switching) AC power adapter for these AM/SW radios! They are filtered so that they won't add tons of noise into the radio that can make listening to SW and AM impossible.
Yes. I had the Etòn Elite Executive and was impressed that there was no noise from AC Adapter at all even on SSB - my unit lacked sensitivity a bit so not a keeper, however. Difficult to find one radio that is 4.5 to 5 stars at everything ...Etòn E1 may be the only one ....
Thanks did not know that. I am buying one right now then !
HEY TODDERBERT.!,
Really enjoy your videos and reviews of classic and new radios.!
You have inspired me to start collecting again..!
Just recently I purchased. Tecsun pl-880, xhdata d808, Retekess v117 and a Supersonic pocket radio for starters. I already own a Kato 1102, a Tivdio v115 and a G.E. Superadio #2...and a Radio Shack thousand Channel scanner.!
i think what i like about this one is being able to add an external antenna for shortwave. still trying to decide what to buy though.
I ordered this radio from eBay to come to the UK. Global shipping was a bit crazy, total was 163 dollars. I’ve put in some D-cell batteries, started tuning around FM. This radio picked up loads of stations, stations that I listen to on my Grundig G5 that came through a little crackly, were Crystal clear on my new field BT. Then I realised the aerial was switched to external, kind of blew my mind. I can pick up BBC radio but all areas I end up with 6BBC radio channels playing the same thing, these channels are local to counties much further away from me. Incredible FM reception. I don’t think there are many of these radios in the UK. Cheers
Everyone I know that has purchased this radio loves it.
Great radio ,my brother called me from an off price store looking at this radio , 29.99 told him to get me one.This was a year ago.We both love em. I run mine on a cake turntable with the batteries. Static free reception. Review gave me better feel for the features. Great and complete coverage. By the way sounds super!
Audio is King on this radio.
@@todderbert Is this on your top 3 or 4 for AM DX with very low static etc ?
Reminds me of my old Eton S-350 but a lot more features. I gave it away when I bought KA1103. But I've been craving another desktop. But I want SSB and even a radio that size I'd like to see a good kickstand. I don't think I'll ever be happy, lol. That's a awesome radio!
@Timothy Midkiff
The thing that comes closest to that is probably the Tecsun PL 8800.
You can check out the Tecsun 8800, I really wish it had RF gain control. It went a little crazy when a local HAM fired up a high power CW transmission ;) ruclips.net/video/hxM75JZwLbs/видео.html
Outside of SSB, the two things that would have made this better would be a synchronous detection mode, and lack of muting while tuning. Other than these two minor quibbles though, I think I've found my next radio
Absolutely - a PREMIUM version - $ 200.with the same speaker /same quiet AM etc. adding the SYNC [from the 2020 Executive Elite and 10 hertz fine tune in SSB - SEPARATE KNOB ] [ AIR NOAH] - would be a great Radio for 2021 - and could be the best Portable since Eton E1 ] ...No compromise - must still have the wide bandwith the Field has and separate Antennas . Eton Elite Field DX - Retail $250. maybe around $200. with discount.
Who wants the Eton Elite Field DX ? Tell Etòn .
I was soo hoping this had air band
The speaker is a simple 2inch full ranger with a ported enclosure with the port bent at the back and directed to the front. Saw it in a disassembled picture by one of your compatriot online. A quarter wave transmission line 🙂???
TOODD ERBERT WHAT A KOOL ETON ELITE FILD AM FM SHORTWAVE RADIO RECEIVER TEX ME WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE
Thorough review thanks! With some nice hints since the manual isn't the clearest written. EDIT: Time resets when you go through channels with RDS info and happens with batteries or AC power on two different units, so is a default function. Directly linked to RDS sync but not disclosed in manual as to how to control it. Syncs to CST China Standard Time from PST where I live, no matter what the RDS setting is. I can't set the clock or alarms reliably.
I have decided to buy this radio. Glad to see that you can find the way to change 9kh to 10khz with the preset button.
Well Todd, another fine review. I just ordered this radio, along with the leather satchel . Should have it with next 10 days. You are appreciated for the detailed reviews
I own this one also and I agree, it's an amazing great radio! 73s Ralf
I love the look. I'm a huge fan of the dials.
Has an awesome look, I like it more than the Grundig Edition it replaces.
@@todderbert
Was there a drop in AM Reception at the top of the band ? Or very subtle ? It has nice AM and great speaker as you mentioned. I wonder if your location is a magnet for AM distant waves ( lol ).
@@robertscorpio8432 my older Field BT has an issue with top of the MW band being rather weak, this one has a little bit, but not as bothersome. I turn off everything electronic, and use incandescent bulbs. The camera does well only causing interference on 890AM.
@@todderbert Thanks Todd - this seems like a great listening to AM Dx/ FM Dx radio . I would like to see a Field DX - with the SYNC and multiple bandwidths , 10 hertz fine tune SSB , NOAH and everything else EXACTLY the same as this for $200 to $220 or so. They would need the wide open bandwith setting, speaker, Amp, shielding , multiple antennas [ the EXACT same radio plus ] - usually added features sacrifice somewhere else on Radios.
This is a really nice radio and I have used your consistent Videos to AB different radios back to back. A very useful series you are presenting on RUclips...nice work ! When I say' Listening Dx' - I mean a low static signal you can listen to - we need more varied programming - some unique AM stuff...IMO in addition to Ground Zero , and Coast to Coast AM ...
@@todderbert Does this have better AM reception than the Elite Executive you had ?
Thanks excellent review ! Buying one :-) just came up on FB marketplace mint and cheap
Thank you for this video. I just bought this radio for my dad. Are there any accessories I could purchase as additional add on? You mentioned a magnetic loop? He lives in a rural area and want him to get the best reception as possible.
Great radio,pity that they are asking almost 350 for it now....From 80 to 350 thats insane.
I'm looking to buy this Field or the Executive, which one do you prefer and why? Thanks, I appreciate your site.
I'm impressed with that clip antenna. I am about 200 miles north of you and I can't get the same signal strength.
It is a really simple wire, from a PL-380 strung up in my window, facing West.
I have old eaton field it drains batteries when plugged into wall outlet. I try to keep batteries in it in case power goes out.
I have the Elite Executive which I think is pretty awesome, but I’m looking to grab one of these too.
Question: How long is the AM antenna?
This is a Grundig Ocean Boy . In a New Package....I hope the AM MW is going to be Good with DX
Expensive to buy here in the UK. No LW it seems ? Great sound
How come the iron man didn't fly for this great radio?
I just ordered mine... can't wait for this....i hope The MW AM Band has good DX?
I scored 'Grundig Edition ' at a thrift store but does not power on with a AC adapter and only operates with the batteries, also it's got weak AM receptions then the volume doesn't go higher etc. It's totally a project!
I have this Radio....too bad they didn't put a SSB mode switch on it 😊....I have got good DX on AM ..but it goes silent on weak stations 😭
Enjoy your videos. I have a question about the Eton Elite Field that you are reviewing here. I would like to know why the image on the box does not appear to be the same radio that you are showing. the one on the carton appears to show the radio as a dark grey with a silver colored power on button and also the knobs appear silver in color? thanks.
I wish you would test the ALARM function - I use this much as anyone uses a CLOCK-RADIO - so I wonder how easy and acceptable the Eton Elite's alarm is ?? (I've been using a Sanjean PR-D8, but it's buttons are now a problem in that the buttons err in activating the wrong function and I have to press really hard on some to get them to work at all)
I know nobody ever tests the alarm functions on these reviews. I bought a Sangean 909x because it had a Humane Wake alarm, but no one ever told me that the tones never get loud enough to wake anyone but the most light sleepers and if it's more than a few feet away I doubt that it would wake most anybody. Sure the alarm can be set to the radio, but then the volume has to be turned up louder than you would probably want to be listening to it before going to sleep. I have an old CCRadio that nothing but the alarm works anymore however that Humane Wake alarm will easily wake a sound sleeper from across the room. Does anyone know how loud the tone alarm is on the Eton Field?
Yeni aldım sadece pille çalışıyor adaptörle çalışmıyor için de pil olunca adaptörle çalışıyor ama piller bitiyor bu normalmi
Is $80 Canadian a good price? Used but new in the box…
Hi I think I damaged my radio. I plugged in the wrong adapter and I heard like a fuse blowing out in it. It turns on for a few minutes and stays on but I realize I can’t even turn the station to station won’t turn when I use the knob. How do I fix this? also when it turns on it only stays on for a few minutes and shuts off and I can’t even turn it back on. I press the reset button but it still does the same thing.
Not sure on this one, could be an onboard component has failed. Eton may be your only hope if you can't find a radio repair shop that specializes with this model.
Eton Elite Field s550mv15pcb Damaged. Can you still get this?
Could you please compare it with Xhdata R808 for SW ?
Howdy toddlert. Love your channels and love your advice. All the recommended radios have been nothing but awesome. Out of the eaton field or the cc crane pro? I cant decide which one would be a better portable radio for the office or camping?
The Field for Overall Use. Having Shortwave can be entertaining. The illuminated buttons and dial is nice. If you just need a simple AM FM radio with Excellent sound and Reception then the EP-Pro.
@todderbert I hope you still read these comments.. I have recently bought the same. First a refurbished one which would not keep time, would launch scanning automatically on other bands while I listened to FM, and wouldn,t reset.
I then got a NEW one instead, I LOVE the sound of it. It had same issue, but this time reset worked.. Was good for 2 days, then the time started getting lost again.
Any insight into this? Anyone?
No problem with mine. Eton can be a hit or miss on quality these days.
Where can I purchase a AM booster clip to attach to our Eaton AM FM Elite Field radio for better reception? You mentioned something about a Tecsun PL380 external antenna. I noticed that you attached a 12 foot wire clip to the antenna to get better shortwave and AM reception. Thanks for your help on this topic.
How is this radio compared to CCrane EP Pro? Which one is a better radio?
I'm a fan of both, I prefer my EP Pro for AM, and FM. Shortwave on the Eton. I don't use BT, so I get more use from the Pro.
Niiice! Love the dials.
Hi how do you set the alarm? The manual doesn't make sense, and you don't address the timers here.
I get nothing on my old field radio what antena would you recommend I would like to improve range for fm am and short wave. thanks
I have a Eton field radio elite what kind of Antenna connector do I need an F connector or a BNC connector for the FM ?, Thank you in advance .
Kg?
Hello Todd, I recently discovered your channel and WOW! Thank you for all the reviews. I’ve been bitten by the bug-lol. Always been fascinated with radios and came close to getting my ham radio license years ago in high school, but the teacher messed up the paper work, so we were told. We met all the requirements and something went wrong on the admin end, although that was years ago. I recently bought a C.Crane Radio 3 and a Panasonic RF-2400D. I have an old Grundig World Traveler II somewhere, but not sure where it is at the moment. I was gifted a Grundig Mini 300 years ago too and that’s super portable and fun to mess with.
I really would like to get a newer radio with SW and am torn between the Eton Elite Field in this video and the Eton Elite Executive. I really like the looks of the Field with the dials. What’s your preference? Mainly listen to AM/FM but would like good SW reception.
You would like the Field if you don't need to listen on the SSB. Otherwise the Elite Executive is the way to go.
@@todderbert Thank you for the reply!
Beautiful radio
eton elite field vs eton field bt grundig Which one is better?
Elite Field from my Experience. I have both, and the MW is weak on the Grundig version. Could have been a quality control issue.
@@todderbert which is to charge batteries.Connect the adapter/charger icon appears in the LCD .???
I am contemplating to purchase this model on Amazon. Is there a newer model to look for? Thanks.
No, this is the latest, anything Eton, and the word Elite is the most recent model.
I bought a loop wire antenna but there is no port for the 3 mm cable is there an adapter I can buy so I can hook it up to my radio or another way I can improve Reception on this radio
Position the loop edge on where the internal ferrite antenna is on the radio, probably top middle.
FYI, it doesn't need to be directly connected to improve gain.
Does it have a USB connection?
No, runs on D Batteries or an AC Adapter.
Is there anything worth listening to on the Shortwave bands ? To me it sounds like it's all religious fanatics and dirty signals from Cuban Pirate radio. I was hoping to buy a radio to have fun while on my Atlantic crossing on my sailboat. Maybe i'm looking at the wrong type of radio.
I want to hear HAM and Weather and International Talk Radio. The AM/FM radio channels I can get on my simple Sony Transistor radio.
Suggestions ?? I dont want to spend much more then $150.(ish)
I also would like to be able to get weather GRIB data to decode on my laptop.
I like mine a lot, sounds great for a single speaker but wish you got more model memory.... only 10 per band sucks!!
This radio needs more memory! :)
Lovely Radio
I noticed that while you were scanning in shortwave it would skip over 8000 and go to 9000 because mine does the same thing. Is that is something that is normal? It does it in other shortwave ranges too on mine.
It is sticking to the broadcast bands when scanning.
Is this made by Kaito looks very similar to one I used to have. Many buttons in same place.
Possibly Tecsun.
Too bad AC adaptor is 120V only. Nowadays almost every manufacturer includes a 220-110v adapter.
Unfortunately, most, if not all, of those adaptors are switch-mode (hi-frequency) type, which generates a load of RFI into the receiver.
Hi Todd, amazing videos as usual!, whats your take on this, Eton Elite Field vs Grundig S450DLX vs C.Crane SW? I'm interested in field radios powered by D cell batteries and do everyday listening on AM and ocassionally SW when there is good propagation. What of the three radios have the best tuning experience and which of them feels less plastic/flimsy of them, the heavier the better? Does any of them comes with a leather case, maybe aftermarket one? Thanks! 73 de CX1DR
I dont have experience wit the S450DLX, but the C.Crane SW is fantastic on MW. The Eton Elite Field is a champ on FM. The C.Crane and Eton have a similar weight and feel to them. Also audio is fantastic on both. If you need bluetooth, and a field carrying case, the Eton is the one to go for.
What’s your opinion of this radio vs Tecsun S 8800 compared in the SOUND in FM mode
I like the Field for this. The S-8800 for Shortwave SSB.
Do the controls have better feel than the older Eton/Grundigs? Most of them looked good, but felt pretty junky in use.
The knobs are good, the switches feel a little on the cheaper side.
Wished it had SSB.
I am thinking of the Elite Field BT or the Grundig Edition Field BT and it sounds like the Amplifier is more powerful in the Elite Field and a bit more detail in the speaker as well as AM sensitivity higher in the newer one [ Elite Field BT]. Is this correct?
I like my Elite Field much better. MW on the Grundig Edition was not good.
@@todderbert Thank you.
Very good to know !
Do you get the power supply with the radio ? If not that's a deal breaker considering the high price of 125.00
It comes with the AC adapter.
Hey Todd, can you let us know when this radio goes on sale again. I missed the last sale. Thanks.
Sure thing, watch the community section! I also post on my instagram, twitter, Patreon and Discord.
Does the tuning wander when on SW?
Have not noticed this on my radio.
Todd, would you choose this over a used CCRadio-SW? How do you think the two compare? Thanks!
I would stick with the SW, I am a fan of MW and love the Twin Coil inside that one :)
@@todderbert I have an SW on the way, so that's good to hear! Thanks, Todd!
Four D cell weight was not a concern .
COOL ❗️
🙂📻
Thank you Jeff!
If I took this traveling with me, say to Mexico would I be able to tune in to local stations?
Yes.
I really love this radio I’m proud to say I’m a new owner thanks to a great Christmas gift mom got me I very much enjoyed. I haven’t tried it on batteries yet but will eventually been using the power court The only question is is short wave station different in the day than what you can get at night?
Yes, Evenings drop to the lower part of the band, while Daytime tends to the higher end. At Dawn/Dusk you will be able to hear from the bottom to the top, if Solar activity is high. A charged ionosphere lets the shortwave signals bounce across great distances.
@@todderbert awesome, thank you. How long do the batteries usually last in the unit? I do have the power adapter so I’m going to plug that in tonight before I go to sleep
@@prestongaylor1232 Medium Volume, expect around Eighty Plus Hours.
@todderbert OK perfect. Thank you!!!
Just watched your video again, and remembered what the radio was like before I burnt it up, don't ask. So I sprung for another one. Picked it up for about $80 on Amazon because I subscribed to prime and saved $50, so I thought that was a good deal. I got the bug.. 🤣🤣
This radio can't pick up anything on shortwave in Wellington, New Zealand. As you think what might be the issue?
Try hooking up a simple wire antenna to it. Tune in different times of the day. I find plenty of SW stations with mine.
@@todderbert Thanks for the quick response. I'll try.
@@cpriyankara You are welcome. This makes a huge difference on mine.
What is meant by "Bluetooth Ready"? Can I Bluetooth-interchange with it, or not?
It is an external bluetooth audio source.
Think of it as a big. bluetooth speaker.
Thanks for the video.
How did you disable the "beep" tone on the button click?
With the Radio Off, Press and Hold the Alarm Button and it should display BUZZER OFF, release the Alarm Button. Online Manual, Page 16: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2407/2229/files/Manual_NA_ELITEFIELD_032019_HR.pdf
@@todderbert Thanks a lot!
Interesting...
Does this radio have a DSP chip in it?
@Stephen Smith
Pretty sure this one does have it.
I'm going to say yes.
can u plz review sr-32cl :)
If they become available in the USA, I will be the first!
Wow you’re saying SW on this is merely decent? Very surprising. I would think this radio is all about the SW? 🤷♂️
I have they 550 eton field it drains batteries when using ac frustrating in case power outage I keep batteries in it. Also wanted better reception saw a new bt eton and review claiming better signal louder speaker. I had hoped my old 550 was a lemon and battery savings would help justify new eton bt radio. Well I have been reading new bt are draining batteries when using ac also speaker was very quiet in comparison to my old 550 eton so I guess I feel it does get a bit better signal but nothing that a antenna don't fix I purchased a tecsun ng200 am antenna now that was a great buy I should have got that and not bought new radio so sending bt eaton back to amazon try another see if my speaker was just a fluke but so far spend a 140 for bt option and bad sound I also got some rechargeable d2 usb c batteries for 40 dollar on amazon so wish me luck on my replacement I hope eton didn't add bt and down grade the sound nice to hear news in morning throughout my home.
Eton elite executive or pl-660
for Shortwave SSB, the 660 is nice. For everything else the Eton Elite Executive.
todderbert that’s tough one. I currently have a Sony 7600gr and an Eton s350dl and a handful of small portables. I try to listen to all bands.
@@franciscole3039 You can't go wrong with the Eton Elite Executive. Way better on FM, SSB is a bit tedious to dial in though. My 660 barely comes out of the box, while I have two Executives ready to go with batteries.
todderbert i saw on one review that you were able to get that for $89? Where? Or where is the cheapest?
79,99 dollars??? Right now on the dutch amazon site the Eton Elite Field cost 257,40 Euros You can better save more money for a Shortwave transceiver Inflation is a btch!
Todd,, @1:26,, Probably should have called them out for a 7V supply.. That is very proprietary.. Not cool at all.. 9 or 12V are standard.. I have an old Yaesu,, 220 (1.25cm band) radio with a 6 or 7 volt supply.. Sure,, I modified something with LEDs and a resistor.. BUT WHY.. Engineers need to all be put in stocks for a few days.. Give a kid a pencil and slide rule and they will make every repair exponentially harder.. I really would put Eton on notice after that one..
The 7v power supply they provide is hilariously inefficient as well.
So many dials make me nervous

@@E_D_W-e5q If you need Single Side Band on Shortwave go with the Tecsun, if not this radio has amazing audio, FM and AM reception.
Awesome
I have a question I also have this radio and I was wondering if I could plug in a external battery supply on the side to power this ?
As long as it matches the required voltage, and polarity on the plug.
Ive got another question 🤷 can i get NOAA weather on this
Not on this radio.
Thank you
