My new Eton E-10 radio

[crudos]

Picked-up a small am/fm/shortwave radio from eBay for a REALLY good price. Growing up, I spent many hours tuning in stations from all over the world on shortwave. While other kids where getting into trouble, I was spending my time listening to small, hard-to-hear regional stations from all over the Pacific, Africa, Europe, Asia, and all places in between. Listening to Radio Taipei in Taiwan right now.

These days though, the shortwave listening experience has changed a lot. Thanks in huge part to the internet and the related improperly shielded computer equipment so prevalent these days. Still, everyone should have a good shortwave radio of some sort. My main shortwave set needs a good cleaning of the various tuning and selector knobs. Going to put up a outdoor long wire antenna up this weekend.

can you listen to
4625 kHz (AM suppressed lower sideband)

Unfortunately, this one doesn't do SSB. What is suppose to be there?

I've had a Grundig G5 for around 5 years now.  I checked out your Eton and it seems very comparable, except the G5 does receive sideband.  One complaint with the G5.....even though it has all these nice features that rely on memory, it loses all memory every time I change the batteries.  Other than that one design flaw it has great reception.  I never got around to stringing up a long wire, but I did engineer a way to connect it to my CB antenna (IMAX 2000) which greatly improved gain at certain harmonics.

I have an old Panasonic RF-2900 that will do SSB stuff. Didn't notice the E10 didn't do SSB until after I won the auction. Still nice little radio.

It's a weird russian radio station plays the best russian hits all the time.
you should give it a gander.

Are you able to pull/replace 1 battery at a time?  That worked for one I had a long time ago.
