4) Eton E100 With a built-in whip antenna and more memories than you'll
ever need, it provides FM reception fairly similar to that of the
DT-200VX, although the reception can be improved dramatically by placing
the whip antenna next to a decent FM external antenna lead-in wire.
Gary.....I can confirm what you say about placing the whip closer to an
External Antenna on the E-100 Model.
While I was on my Cruise 2 weeks ago....I did a lot of FM DX'ing with the
Eton E-100 out on the Balcony of our room, late at night. I found that by
Laying the Whip Antenna up against the METAL RAILING of the balcony on the
ship...the signals I was receiving were easily Doubled in Strength!! I
think if one could attach the whip to a Good FM beam.......in a location
with few locals to avoid overloading........you would be able to haul in
some pretty good FM DX with this little ULR Radio!!!!
