Hi Steve, how does the E1 deal with scanning?  I have the Sat-800 and am
very disappointed with the way it scans.  For one thing the 800 does not
allow you to use the squelch on hf and second it does not hold on a signal
when one is present.  Also there are only 7 memories per bank.

I would hope that with 1700 memories in the E1 there would be several scan
options?  I like to listen to the air traffic controllers in one bank and
the 60 meter channels in another bank and maybe coast guard in another.

Thanks, Ken -N5SWR

Russ,

The receiver is pretty complex, but it's also very accessible.  The 
menus are easy to use, and the manual ((which is supplied on CD with 
the radio) gives clear instructions on how to get into the menus.

You can enter frequencies directly from the keyboard, as well as have 
direct access to any of the 1700 memories from the keyboard.  I doubt 
you'll ever use all 1700 memories, especially since those above 500 
are grouped by countries, and they're more trouble than they're worth 
to get into.

I'll be happy to answer any other questions you have about the radio, 
so don't hesitate to ask.

Steve
