Default Tecsun PL-390


This is basically a PL-380 in a big cabinet, with 2 speakers and longer
ferrite and telescopic antennas.

I've been through a number of the Tecsun DSP-based portables, and this
model appears to accumulate most of the positives and few of the
negatives.

It lacks the objectionable strong soft-mute action ("reverse AGC") of the
PL-310 and PL-606, while retaining the excellent sensitivity of the PL-380
on SW. The slightly larger cabinet size allows for larger antennas that
remedy the PL-380's mediocre sensitivity on MW and FM.

In all, I agree it's a winner. If it had SSB/Sync and RDS, it'd be the
best portable around in a very long time. Unfortunately, there doesn't
seem to be anything coming down the pike from Silicon that implements
these functions.
