Description

The Tecsun PL-380 is a portable world band radio with DSP (Digital Signal Processing). It uses the DSP si4734 micro-chips (from Silicon Labs in the USA) to digitize the analog signal base for MW / FM / SW broadcasts. Through modern software technology, the radio has excellent reception quality. The DSP significantly improves the radio's sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio, and interference from adjacent stations.

The PL380 is equipped with Tecsun's Easy Tuning Mode (ETM) function. ETM provides the user with the ability to automatically scan for new radio stations without replacing stations already stored in the radio's memory. ETM is an ideal function for users who listen to radio broadcasts in different locations.

64 - 108MHz

At 10kHz stages: 520 - 1710kHz

    Perfect radio, very good reception and sound quality. It is stereo with headphones and has many features that cover all users. The only disadvantage I see is that it does not have SSB and AIR BAND.

    You can use rechargeable batteries and charge it from your computer or from your mobile charger with a simple mini USB cable. Unfortunately, it does not come with them, but you can buy them all together (batteries and cable) from the market for less than 7 €, and finally the batteries.

    The necessary charger and the 3 batteries are not included in the price of 70 euros. Another 30 euros in total 100. Overpriced. Important for me: it does not have user instructions.
    After 3 years of use, the radio is as good as the first day I received it. It proves to be reliable and of good quality. I definitely consider it overpriced. 100 euros three years ago is a lot.

    It has signal wherever I have been.
    The area I live in is difficult between mountains.
    It plays all stations without interference, crystal clear.
    Great ease in automatically finding radio stations.
    One of the best purchases I have made, if not the best.
    Perfect...!!

    The best portable radio for its price.. It will satisfy both the enthusiastic ham who will put up a 15-meter wire to listen to Australia, and the completely clueless person who will simply love the fast and accurate ETM (automatic frequency tuning).
    With customizable screen (swr, etc.)
    excellent receiver sensitivity, alarm clock, screen backlight, temperature (very accurate)..
    What else can I say? It's a steal.. as the English say.
