Review on πŸ“» TECSUN PL-380 DSP FM Stereo. MW. SW. LW. World Band PLL Radio Receiver with LCD Display and Enhanced ETM Function by Ben Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great radio to add to your collection or just start a collection.

Wonderful radio. Small, compact and sensitive. Nothing complicated. I've owned many portable SW radios since the 1960's and this is one of my favorites. It doesn't have SSB, but with my long wire antenna I picked up stations from India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and even pointed the BBC at Africa. much stronger. Here in Northwest New Jersey I can travel to Cincinnati at 700 khs and not transfer from the WOR in New York at 710 khs. The same applies to 11:20 from St. Louis and 11:30 from New York. Of course it's at night, but even during the day I can pick up some local stations that I have a hard time picking up on other radio stations. FM is great too, but I bought it mainly for AM and SW. much that I bought a Tecsun PL880 for SSB and a few more features. But I listen to the PL-380 in bed to fall asleep. When I turn towards him, I don't even notice because he's so small.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • There are cons
