Hi Sanjaya:

- So are the PL-200 & the PL-230 close electronically ??

Dan

They work off the same manual... the one for the Grundig YB-550PE.
They both recharge batteries in the radio, but the YB-550 doesn't.
I like the PL-200 because of its size... if you saw the pic I put in the
Yahoo group you can tell its size relative to a Bic lighter... small.

The PL-200 has a 3 setting antenna gain. That's all I use, off the whip.
Works great.
But I'll test it with my random wire.

I clipped on a 23ft. Sangean ANT-60 reel antenna.
Slight improvement in weaker stations.
No difference in strong ones.
It's a sensitive little radio, and I can see Judah's
review of the PL-230 fitting the 200 exactly, except
sound from the smaller speaker in the 200 is not
as good.

Computer speakers when at home..

External antenna while walking around ??

Roy, Dan... and other interested parties

I am still able to d/l the Grundig YB-550PE manual here
http://www.etoncorp.com/asp/downloadownersmanual.asp

This manual is very useful in learning how the Tecsun PL-200 and PL-550
radios operate. The Grundig YB-550PE is identical to the Tecsun PL-230
(except the Tecsun recharges batteries in the radio).

The Tecsun PL-550 (not to be confused with the Grundig YB-550PE)
has Chinese lettering on the front, so another useful item for the
Tecsun PL-550 is this English translation of the front panel by
HongKongRadioer
http://www.radiointel.com/Radpic/pl5...50-english.jpg
It was graciously made available in the Yahoo Tecsun PL-550 group
by Ulis Fleming.
