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. |
