Cuando quiero oír música de mi agrado solo cambio al bluetooth y listo

Dentro de las reseñas, vi que algunas personas se quejaban de que no duraban las pilas, este radio tiene varios ajustes para que el display se apague una vez sintonizada la estación, ademas de que se puede ajustar la intensidad del mismo y conseguir un ahorro en el consumo de energía de las pilas. Con baterías recargables tiene buen rendimiento y con las alcalinas dura mucho mas.

Funktioniert, der Empfang ist gut und die Bedienung einfach. Aber es ist kein RDS vorhanden !!! Es liegt auch nicht am Sender, denn wir haben es paralell mit anderen RDS Radios getestet. Es ist einfach nicht vorhanden.

Es una radio bastante pequeña pero con la ventaja de tener todas las bandas de radio comercial (AM 520 – 1710 kHz, FM 87 – 108 MHz, SW1 5.9 – 10 MHz y SW2 11.65 – 18 MH), en lo referente a las bandas básicas de AM y FM tiene una recepción muy superior a la de las radios portátiles comunes, lo estuve probando y todas las estaciones que captaba la radio de mi vehículo también las sintonizaba esta pequeña radio, otra cuestión es que las baterías duran muchísimo siempre que dejemos la radio en modo espera (no se puede apagar completamente pues siempre muestra el reloj pero con la radio desactivada), la radio tenia dos meses con unas baterías y seguía funcionando cuando encendía el sintonizador.El único punto negativo es que no tiene RDS y las bandas SW1 5.9 – 10 MHz y SW2 11.65 – 18 MH (bandas de radio internacional) casi nunca agarran señal de una estación de radio dentro de las ciudades esto por la cuestión de la saturación de edificios y de la radiación residual, en Torreón Coahuila solamente pude captar una estación estadounidense y otra en la que hablaban en francés ignoro si fuera de origen francesa o canadiense. En carretera y en la zona serrana si he podido captar mas de una docena de estaciones extranjeras.En resumen es una excelente radio.

Great radio,built well,sounds great,nice display,just takes a little time to learn all the different functions.

Buena recepción incluso en interior donde otros radios no captan señal de radio, es fácil de sintonizar, super portátil, el sonido es muy bueno sobre todo considerando lo delgado que es, se puede configurar para que la pantalla se apague después de unos segundos de hacer un ajuste lo que permite ahorrar batería y seguir siendo visible en ambientes oscuros...En pocas palabras es una monada, tengo otros tres radios portátiles y sin duda este es el mejor.

Esperaba más de eton, si lo que buscas en un radio portátil para emisoras de fm mientras trabajas esta bien. Pero si eres entusiasta de la radio y esperas escuchar emisoras lejanas con él mejor busca otra opción. En SW su desempeño es regular, recibe mucho ruido lo que no sucede con otros receptores que tengo; lo más decepcionante es el “soft mute” que hace al cambiar de estación en modo am ya sea MW o SW, si la señal de la emisora no es suficientemente fuerte el radio baja su volumen hasta que casi la deja inaudible, cambias frecuencia y regresas y vuele su audio normal, pero pasan un par de minutos y ya esta su audio bajo. Una verdadera lástima en eton por este mal diseño y vaya que estuve leyendo foros pensando que era mi radio y resulta que es diseño de algunos equipos de la marca según para quitar ruidos y mejorar la escucha; dejo de ser interesante para mi.

La compra llego antes de lo esperado, excelente marca, excelente señal, portable y listo para la escucha en el momento que se requiere, fidelidad en la recepción, no se requiere de mucho conocimiento para usarlo, buscador de estaciones en automático, se puede buscar la señal en dos opciones, precio mejorado en este sitio .

Eton Field - World Band Radio with BluetoothI had a wish for a great old world type radio what would give me the best AM and FM reception, audio performance and functionality for my money. After a long but happy search perusing Amazon’s offerings, it came down to a two options for me.. . the Sangean PR-D15 and the one I finally purchased, the Eton Field – World Band Radio with Bluetooth otherwise known as the Eton Field 550 with Bluetooth or simply the Field BT.But for short time, I felt all the work was in vain as after I had it about an hour, I found two things bothered me so much I almost sent it back. The beeping (really pretty loud) with every button press became a nuisance, but worse and most annoying was the clock would not stay set. The RDS feature (Radio Display System) which in addition to providing station and content information told the radio to set the clock to London England GMT. Indeed, a handy feature if I intend to use this radio 4,500 miles from home. However, it renders the dual alarm clock function nearly useless for me. The solution from the friendly and accessible Eton Tech Support was…with the radio off, push the down arrow button on the front to toggle from “Auto” to “ Manual”, the former allows the radio to set it’s time automatically from the RDS. Oh, and the solution to that annoying beeping problem is found in the manual. Again, with the radio off, press the “Alarm” button till it toggles to “Buzzer Off”. With these two fixes I am very happy with this radio.Squinting into the front grill I expected to find a 5inch speaker to blast sound out of this large lunch pail size radio. I was disappointed to find only a small aprox 1inch tweeter to produce sound. But after a few minutes of listening, my disappointment was gone. Somehow, though the radio is not overly loud, the sound of this radio was IMHO, beautifully tuned for both music and voice. A little research shows that Eton has given this Field BT a tuned port sound system providing technological sophistication over a regular plain and probably less efficient speaker system. I am very pleased with the sound, though I might want a bit more volume, it is perfectly suitable for everyday use.The Field BT comes with two alarm settings, lighted buttons and displays time with a beautiful hi-med-low brightness adjustable amber screen that can switched to remain on or to go off after 10 seconds. This is a welcome and uncommon option that allows continuous display of time and RDS information or preserve energy if on battery. This allows the Eton Field BT, with time always visible, to better serve as a bedside alarm radio. When off, with adequate lighting, the display window can with close scrutiny dimly show settings as if viewed from a magic 8 ball. Nice enough. Would be nice to have display more visible when power off, but on or off, I have absolutely no quibbles with the display on this radio. Setting the clock is easy the second time you do it. The manual is clear and is if anything for me anyway, all too brief. A few buttons do different things when radio is on or and something different when off. That said, but for the undocumented RDS auto clock setting issue, the Field BT is intuitive enough to please the non-manual reader that just wants a radio that plays.And play it does. The Field BT pulls in all the distant NPR FM stations that I hoped to hear and one more I did not expect. SW functions fine for me and the AM band is also OK for the few stations available to me. I am very happy and especially after finding the AM performance is significantly boosted by my Terk Passive AM loop. For that reason, I do not regret choosing the Field BT over the Sangean PR-D15, having decided Eton’s Bluetooth feature trumped (must stop saying that now) Sangean’s longer and more powerful ferrite core AM antenna. The Field BT Bluetooth feature (receive only) works great, pairs well and plays content and controls (pause and skip track) from my computer and phones. It also has a line out, a headphone jack and an AUX input that kicks in when 3.5mm standard audio cable is inserted for playing from computer or other audio source. The Field BT offers a lot of flexibility without being complex.I really like the Eton Field BT radio, especially the FM sensitivity , AM and SW reception and the FM RDS (radio information system) displaying the station, call letters, music or broadcast information, time and date.I also like the padded strap that securely attaches to the top of the radio. Note, you just might appreciate the option to convert from handle to shoulder strap as this is not a pocket transistor size radio by any means. It measures approx. 12.4” x 6.9” x 3.0” and weighs about 4 ½ pounds with 4 D cells. It comes with an AC wall wart adapter that, unlike the Sangean, does not charge the batteries in the radio. Unplugging AC without batteries may require you to re-set the radio to stop beeping and defeat the RDS auto clock set feature.Pop Quiz: How do you re-set the beep function and automatic RDS clock set? Answer: With the power off...press Alarm button to defeat the audible feedback beeping and press the down arrow key to set and keep the clock to a time you choose.I am very happy with the Eton Field BT radio. Though it does not have a keypad entry, tuning is quick and easy using Eton’s logical warp jump “QTune” system, its concentric large and smaller fine tune dials and surprisingly adequate 10 (ten) memory settings per band. The DPS locks into the stations like a spike and keeps them stable.This solid handsome radio works for me and well worth $129. Very very happy with this purchase .

Me encantaron los materiales y la calidad, el tamaño, la distribución, en su contra solo que usa baterías AAA y que su recepción de Onda Corta (SW y SW2) no es tan buena de día en ciudad.

He tenido varios radios de onda corta, y de diferentes marcas, pero desde hace mas de 10 años que tuve un radio Grundig noté la superioridad en calidad y recepción. Ahora con Eton, me parece que siguieron dando productos de calidad. Tengo también la versión anterior de éste tipo de radio, el S450DLX, y lo que me gustó de el nuevo Eton, es que que respetan el linaje Grundig. Es ligeramente más compacto pero con un buen tamaño y luce elegante la combinación de gris con negro. Todos los materiales se ven y sienten de muy buena calidad, aunque son de plástico los botones, son finos.Otra de las cosas que me gustó fue la recepción, tanto de AM, FM y claro, para los que buscamos esta clase de radio, la banda corta es muy sensible y elimina mucho ruido, a pesar de que estoy en una ciudad y lo he probado en mi oficina toma varias señales. No he podido conectar mi antena para sw (no la encuentro), y aún así me ha dejado satisfecho. Me parece que también han mejorado el sintonizador porque creo que es más preciso, lo cual es muy necesario al estar pescando en la onda corta.El sonido es otra de las ventjas que tiene éste radio, suena bastante claro y nítido, mejor que todos mis anteriores radios, incluso han sustituido a las bocinas adicionales que tenía para dar mejor calidad a lo que escuchaba.Finalmente, el plus de éste radio es el Bluetooth pues prácticamente tienes una bocina inalámbrica, bien sea para enviar sonido de laptop o del celular, la configuración es sencilla y en el caso de la música que tengo en el cel ya la puedo escuchar con gran calidad.Las demás funciones no las he probado, por ejemplo la alarma, programar tuning, etc., quizá cuando lea el manual me ayuden para simplificar algunos pasos.Conclusión: Me ha funcionado excelente, estoy bastante satisfecho con éste radio, y si estas buscando gran calidad, diseño y la posibilidad de pasar horas disfrutando con bocina inalámbrica, AM, FM o en la onda corta, éste radio es una gran opción.

Before I start, let me begin by saying that no radio is perfect. This is because 1. no single receiver can be good at EVERYTHING and 2 different people like different things. Also, let's consider the price: 38 dollars. Don't expect it to perform like a $100 plus communications grade receiver.Now, that having been said, for what this is, it is a very good radio. The speaker is decent, the size is about that of an old iPod (about the same thickness too), and considering how big it is, it catches a lot. Midwave mode I haven't had much of a chance to play around with yet, but considering the size of it, I can't imagine the ferrite bar in it is very big so, I'm not expecting much. I'll post more on this at another time. I got this primarily for shortwave reception and for FM when I'm at work or just on vacation. On in both settings, it works well. There is a gap between SW1 and SW2 settings (SW1=5.9-10MHz and SW2=11.65-18MHz), but I don't know of any shortwave stations that broadcast on this that aren't SSB and since this radio doesn't have an SSB mode, I'm not even going to sweat it. On the day I got this, I hooked it up via a clip to a Sangean ANT-20 Reel and pitted it against my Sangean ATS 909x on a Sony AN-LP1 Active loop antenna. The Sangean won out, but again, 100 dollar plus receiver.I tested it on several stations on shortwave both within the US (13845 KHz WCCR and WBCQ 7490KHz) and a few far outside the US (TRT 9830 KHz, Radio Cairo 9965 KHz) and one just outside the US but that comes in pretty clear usually (RHC 6000 KHz). On the reel, it caught everything and the only trouble it had was with Radio Cairo which came in with no interference, but the speech was garbled (think of the adults in a charlie brown cartoon). Considering though that I need an active loop antenna to get this station to come through clearly on the 909, I am not going to sweat this issue. FM it got all but one local station I tried (which is also the one broadcasting from farthest away), but again, small receiver with small antenna. So conclusion is if you are going to listen to regular shortwave stations, this will be OK for most. That said, if you are looking for lower powered stations like Radio Tirana out of Albania or pirate stations around the 40 meter band, this is not the unit to use. Now, all this positive stuff being said, I have a few complaints about this radio:1. when you remove the batteries, the clock resets immediately.2. the back light goes out quickly and you cannot read the display without it. Maybe this isn't an issue if you get the AC adapter?3. battery cover is not connected to the radio so there is a chance you can loose it.4. The gap between shortwave modes mentioned above5. No preset memory on any bands6. No battery meter. The manual says "If the sound becomes low or distorted, replace with new batteries". considering that I've seen other radios of this size and price that had at least a little LED to give you an idea of battery life, this is a letdown.7. The bag that it comes with while of good quality, does not have a belt loop for carrying it on your person. Easy to fix, but just thought I'd mention it.So in short, if you are just looking for a digital display/tuning radio that fits in your pocket for travel or emergencies, this is a pretty good deal. If you are trying to DX or pick up pirate stations, this is probably not what you are looking for. I'd certainly buy it again knowing what I know now, but others who want more out of a travel sized and are willing to pay a little more and can accept something bigger than an iPod, consider a Tecsun PL-380. Hope this helps.

The radio is small (5.5" x 3.5" x 1.5") and portable and performs as advertised. It's solid and functional. Overall it seems well-made. The sound quality is fairly good for a small radio, and it has a earphone/headphone jack. There is no AC adaptor included, but it works fine with 4 AA batteries. Using it for about 4 hours a week they last about 3 or 4 months. I've owned it for 7 months now and have updated my original review accordingly. I would still rate it at 4.5 if I could use half stars.I have a few criticisms:1. The manual is terrible. You can decipher most of it, more or less, with a bit of trial and error.2. The controls for various mode changes, time settings, and the like are wonky and are not intuitive. However, when you get it set for what you want it works fine (until you have to reset them again).3. They could drop the time zone wheel under the front cover and put in some more intuitive buttons for the settings.A few tips based on my experience with the radio:1. Ensure display backlighting is normally OFF to avoid excessive battery use.2. Don't turn the volume up higher than it needs to be, again to save battery power.3. The radio is a little tippy. Release the FM antenna and swing it back 90 degrees (unextended!) and use it as a backstand. This won't work of course if you need to extend the antenna for FM listening for weaker stations.It is a good quality buy as a general purpose travel radio for ordinary listening on AM and FM. Easy to pack in the bag. I wish I'd had it on my last trip.I've also used the radio for some long-distance MW (DX) listening. It does not have quite the sensitivity of a larger radio, but it's close - by its nature, it has a pretty small internal bar antenna. Still, it approaches the performance of my larger (and more expensive) Eton Satellit 750. One night I heard an as yet unidentified but certainly distant station literally booming out of the speaker on a normally "quiet" frequency. As a bonus, the small bar antenna is very directional and is quite good at nulling out higher-power MW stations if you orientate the radio just the right way.I haven't tried it much on the SW bands. I did a "side-by-side" comparison with the Satellit 750 and the Traveler is similar, though slightly less sensitive. There isn't much worth listening to on SW these days, anyway.Overall, aside from the poorly-designed controls, this is a good quality radio in a small and highly-portable format.
