Initial Impressions: 1. Same case as the Eton E10, with different function buttons. No sticky surface. 2. Very intuitive and easy to operate. 3. Shortwave and FM sensitivity appear superb for a compact portable. 4. Very stiff antenna. Unlikely to come loose soon. 5. Great-sounding audio. 6. Excellent sync detector, with one flaw listed below. 7. Cheap! Mine only cost $65 from Amazon after the $50 rebate for applying for an Amazon visa card. Drawbacks: 1. Probably not best for MW DX. Not as sensitive as many other portables on MW. 2. My only problem with the sync detector is that it stays in wide bandwidth in lower sync. Even when the radio says it's in narrow BW! This is probably a defect, but I'll have to decide whether it's a big enough of a problem to warrant a return. Overall, I continue to be impressed by the design collaboration between Chinese radio manufacturers. Waiting for nightfall... Mike Louisville, KY I bought the Tecsun PL660 in April 2012 from Amazon at a price of $120. |
