TecSun PL 500

The PL550 is a nice radio that will get a lot of MW, Shortwave and FM broadcast stations. I think that you would get a far better mix of features, better performance and really good audio for the same price if you switched to the DE1103 however. As to whether the 7600 is a perfect radio that has only strengths, well I can only say that I've owned numerous radios in 20 years of swling and I've enjoyed most of them. But none of them were without shortcomings, or tradeoffs. For me the biggest issue with the 7600 is the lack of a tuning knob. Punching a button to move up and down a band is not nearly as easy as using the tuning knob found on the DE1103 or the Sangean ATS919. And the audio out the speaker is typical somewhat muffled Sony unfortunately. I used a much earlier version of that radio, the Sony ICF2002 and enjoyed it. But button tuning was clearly an impediment to ease of use. |
