Eton Elite Mini AM FM Shortwave Portable Radio Review

The Eton Elite Mini AM FM Stereo Shortwave portable radio does a great job on the bands with a little help on the shortwave via a long wire. The MW band is fairly good considering how thin this radio is. Does the "Elite" moniker add any extra bells and whistles? Time to find out!

Features I like about this radio:
Thin and Compact design.
Solid FM reception.
Decent Shortwave reception with a wire.
Good Local AM reception, and decent reception during the evenings.
Quick Tune, a feature on the Clock button that let's you get through any of the bands quickly.
Twenty-Four Hour Clock.
Alarm, wake by radio.
Sleep feature.
Lock feature.
Leather Slip Case.
Decent speaker audio.
Takes a 3V DC input to run the radio without batteries.
FM Stereo sounds good.
Very pocket friendly.

Features that could be added or improved on:
Add memories of some type.
Use a normal LCD display.
Move DC input jack to a different location.

Overall, for a radio priced under $30, you are getting a fun package. It may not excel in every category, but it is a joy to own and tune. It gets a recommended buy from me. I love the thin form factor and how well it sounds playing my locals.

Thank you for watching.
