Our take on the Eton Elite Mini AM/FM Shortwave Radio

The Eton Elite Mini is a pocket-sized AM/FM radio with a digital tuner, LCD display and Bluetooth, in a body about the size of a deck of cards at 6.1 oz. It runs on batteries and has a metal speaker grill, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a key lock to stop accidental button presses. The best new price is $39.99 at Newegg.com as of November 4, 2026, with 6 stores listing it new. It is a travel and emergency backup radio, not a serious shortwave receiver.
