I agree completely with Sanjaya. I don't notice the Chinese lettering any
longer either. It's such a natural radio to use now.

Of all the Chinese radios I've bought this year, the PL-550 is definitely
the best yet. It's the same price I paid for my DE1102, but it runs circles
around the Degen on performance, sound, ease of use, and features. So the
Degen sits quietly on the shelf while the Tecsun keeps me very happy indeed.
