Eton E5 SSB receiver for weather fax

[Sy-Revolution]

Hi,
Anyone tried the Eton E5 (same as Grundig G5) ssb receiver for wetherfax transmissions ? They're on offer at Maplins for £69.....

No, but I've been hankering after one and £69 beats everyone else by £20! Let me know if you get one and it works!

Might go down and get one tomorrow. The offer ends on the 23rd by the way....
I found this review:

looks like a winner.

Took advantage of the Maplins deal to get this cracker of a radio. Do not forget the Maplins voucher offer and get a further £3 off. For £66.99 this is an absolute steal and a very worthy replacement for my war weary Sony 7600. Early days but I cannot fault the performance or ease of use though it does seem to eat batteries. I got some Uniross 2400mAh at Maplins for £7.99 as the Eton has a built in battery charger. Very clear and well lit LCD display. Half the price of a new Sony and, though it hurts as a committed Sony fan, a much better radio. Don't delay, Maplins have been selling them fast.
