Review on Tecsun PL880 Portable Digital PLL Dual Conversion AM/FM, Longwave & Shortwave Radio with SSB (Single Side Band) Reception - Silver by Ba Li ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

If you need a receiver purely for listening to the VHF FM band, don't waste your money. This receiver is not for you. Buy an ordinary Chinese soap dish for a maximum of 1000 tyr and get high in the kitchen. And if you are also an old senile radio amateur, then this is your product. These things have become obsolete like audio and video cassettes, if anyone else remembers them. Now in the age of the Internet, who needs them? Pure waste of money. I bought mine from Chinais for 4500 sput. It's clearly not 15,000.

Pros
  • An ordinary receiver like all old Soviet receivers. VHF, FM, HF, MW and LW bands. In short, the all-wave + amateur radio old insanity range. 1 battery 18650. Cool and holds for a long time. Low power consumption in rest mode. Handsome set up. Rough and precise. Well done Tex here. The sound is pleasant, though not powerful.
Cons
  • No backlit keys. It is not convenient to drive in the dark. For such grandmas should shine like a Kremlin star. Very flimsy back cover stand. I already got ripped off. On NE and DV does not catch a damn thing. But who is there to catch? When the battery is low, for some reason there is an abrupt volume control. Quiet, quiet, then sharply loud. This does not happen when fully charged. Very expensive. Not worth your money. Max. price 100 bucks today.
