A suitable replacement for the Eton Traveler III with a little bit of work...
You can make this work for the Eton Traveler III. But do know it isn't a direct replacement. I purchased this and have installed it on my Traveler III extending the length of the antenna by over double its original length.What you have to do is disconnect both antennas (on the Eton and on the replacement) at the swivel joint (not from the radio itself but at the base of the main antenna body) by removing the screw that keeps it together but do it over a table or such as to not loose the two pivot washers. Once this is done slide the new one in between the two tabs/ears and then carefully place the washers to either side between the base of the antenna and the ears off the radio. I then used a very small eyeglass screwdriver to center the washers in the screw hole. Once centered, replace the original screw from the radio antenna and snug it up.This replacement definitely feels sturdier than the original and adds an almost ridiculous amount of antenna to the Traveler III.Note: it is longer when folded and will no longer snap into the antenna retainer on the back of the radio and also will not allow the bag the radio comes with to shut with the radio placed inside. Overall antenna length when closed and folded went from 4 1/2" to 6 3/4".As for reception, I have seen improvements over the Am and FM bands but need to do further testing on SW and LW.

I bought this antenna as a replacement for my PL-660 portable radio whip antenna. The specifications mention that it is made of stainless steel, with improved sensitivity, and measures 39.5 inches when fully extended, which is 3.75 inches longer than the original. Both are a welcomed upgrade to the original. In addition, the stainless steel construction is more rigid than the original steel antenna, improving its durability and making it less likely to be bent out of shape. The stainless steel contains nickel, which adds extra strength and the finish is polished in such a manner that prevents the usual chrome surface marking and wear, when extending and contracting. This has been a significant upgrade for my PL-660 and highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2013
I bought this thinking that there were standard sizes for a radio antenna. This one was the right length, I assumed it would be the right diameter... for my Eton radio.
Turns out I was wrong.

The product is great. It's very solid, slides with some resistance, but it's not too difficult. And being stainless, I assume it's not going to rust out on me. It's also much stronger than Eton's stock antenna.

However, the diameter of the base is 6mm when I needed 5. Or is it 7mm when I needed 6?
I don't know... because another fine feature of this antenna is that the brass contact at the base is rough-hewn at the edges, so I just jammed it in there and used it as a drill to alter the plastic hole in my radio. The brass edges chewed easily through the plastic, enlarging the existing hole to exactly the right size to accommodate this antenna.
So now it fits fine!
Also, when it was time to screw it in place with the connecting wire, that brass connecter worked perfectly with the existing hardware, I believe that is a truly standard size.

So 5 stars for the antenna itself...
minus one star for Tecsun posting this Amazon listing without mentioning the diameter of their antenna.

note added in review: It appears that this antenna has a 6mm base diameter. If you want to know if it fits your radio, maybe just measure the base diameter of your existing antenna. Or the hole it needs to fit into.

Doesn’t fit correctly and cannot be clipped back into the holder on the back of the radio once installed. Giving 3 stars because it did improve reception.

Update 11-30-2023:
I was wrong. It fits the PL-680 perfectly if you just take a second and line it up correctly. I’m sometimes too thick for my own good. Definitely improves reception compared to the stock aluminum antenna. I would buy this again for the very same radio.

I was looking for a replacement antenna for my old Sangean radio. This was as close of a match as I could find. First of all, the screw is too short for my needs. I found another one that worked. Secondly, the antenna is very delicate -- especially near the top. If you have children, this antenna won't last long. I recommend retracting the antenna by pushing down on the bottom and working your way up. Otherwise, if you push from the top, it will bend or break for sure. I tried to find a better antenna, but I found this one, which is barely adequate for my needs. Maybe it will work better for you.
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
So I have the Tecsun PL-310ET. As noted by the seller, this antenna is for a different model. But I broke my antenna and couldn’t find a replacement that was similar in size. In desperation, I bought this instead, knowing it was not made for my radio. The antenna base is bigger, so I removed the base and connected to the antenna base of my 310ET. It works!! When not extended it does stick out about 1 inch. But, I personally have no issue with this. When extended, this antenna is way longer than the one that came with my radio. I get better reception, so I’m happy with it.

Longer than the original antenna that came on my PL-880 and smoother operation. The stock antenna has a matte steel that's a little rough. This one is very smooth and extends and retracts easier. I bent the top section of the original day one because it drags a little and I wasn't expecting this and didn't take proper care.
