Digital PL330 AM/FM/LW/SW Worldband Radio with Single Side Band Receiver

This radio is the best in its class! Don't waste your money on any of the others, THIS IS THE ONE! It's feature packed. There is no other radio in this range that offers the features this one does. Serious listeners are gonna want the SSB capability. Not to mention the sensitivity, which is fantastic on this reciever. Obviously I haven't tried every single radio in this class / price range but the PL330 is very good. I have some less expensive XHDATA recievers and those are ok but the PL330 outperforms them by a long shot. The speakers on the XHDATA are a bit better than on this one but the speaker on the PL330 is more than adequate and the trade off is well worth the increased performance. The PL330 is slim and diminutive, and you actually could slip it in to a pocket, unlike other "pocket" radios. The PL330 FEELS solid and well built, where others in its class feel more lightweight and plastic like. Features I wish the PL330 had? I'd happily trade its longwave band for Weather band/Alert, and AIRband. But you seldom get everything in one unit, especially at this price. The C. Crane Skywave 2 has everything you'd want, but it's more than double the price at time of writing. I'm glad I chose this as my first reciever. If I had chosen one of the others that I've since purchased, I mightve thrown them in a dusty drawer and abandoned my interest altogether. If you're only gonna buy one, choose this one. It's worth it.

With all that's going on, I thought I'd listen to SW. I hadn't done that since I was a kid on the old Hallicrafter Sky Buddy! For a very small radio at a price I could justify, it does very well. The build quality seems solid. Of course, it is light and tiny, but the buttons and the knobs seem like they will work for a long time to come. The buttons are small and fussy, but it has features to scan and memorize frequencies. The reception is pretty good with a 20+ foot wire strung outside. I live right in a mid-western city, so I do get interference that makes finding stations a challenge. The radio has good sound quality even from a small speaker. Battery life seems good. I can listen for many hours and still have charge. There is a powerful station here in the US that seems to dominate since they broadcast on several frequencies. Most of what I hear is Spanish, religious, or conspiracy related. I still hope to get more foreign, English language broadcasts. I have not given up! I am new to all of this and I'm trying to find my way. The booklet that came with the radio is very detailed, but as a non-tech guy, I find the book to be a challenge. Oh well! Always fun to learn. The reason for only 4 Stars is that it isn't as good as a (much) more expensive receiver. For the $$$ it is quite a nice radio.

PROS -Sensitive -Feature packed - SSB -Feels good in hand / Quality / CONS -Still no kick stand -Alot of features will take time to learn I purchased this radio mainly for its strong SW capabilities and to use as a portable /small emergency radio. It recieves a variety of SW channels. Religious and foreign language seems always available. Different nights and times , it gets other stations also. I have heard foreign news channels in English , Music from other countries, Replays of old time radio shows and talk shows . It is a fun hobby ! It has also renewed my love of AM and FM . It receives over 100 AM channels some nights. I also do DXing. Sound is clear ! Battery charge is long lasting . When its time to charge - with one bar it took about 3 and a half hours to fully charge. I purchased a twin package of spare batteries ($8 on Amazon ) to prepare for emergencies . Powerful and feature packed ! I am happy !

I wasn't expecting such amazing sound quality out of such a tiny machine. Overall ease of use very simple to operate with an updated usb-c charging versus the old micro USB. That was a very pleasant surprise for modernization of a classic little radio. Reception is great on all stations and all bands I'm surprised on how much this little thing is blowing a lot of my more expensive radios just out of the water. 10 out of 10 highly recommend

Sehr leistungsfähiges Leichtgewicht. Man muss sich zwar erst mit den kleinen Tästchen und der leider nicht ganz so intuitiven Bedienung zurechtfinden, aber man gewöhnt sich recht schnell daran. Schade ist, dass das Gerät keinen ausklappbaren Aufsteller hat und relativ leicht umfällt. Nutzt man eine externe, ausziehbare Drahtantenne (wie z.B. in dem hier bei Amazon angebotenen Bundle), zieht einem - je nach Aufhängung und Aufhängehöhe der Antenne - das Gewicht der Antenne auch schon mal das Radio quer über den Tisch. Das ist der Nachteil, wenn das Gerät selber so leicht ist. Abgesehen davon kann sich das Gerät bei den Empfangsleistungen durchaus mit meinem alten Grundig Satellit 3400 messen. Der Empfänger hat eine gute Trennschärfe und kann auch starke Sender 5kHz weiter oben bei entsprechend eingestellter Bandbreite gut "in Zaum" halten. Klanglich kann man bei dem kleinen Lautsprecher natürlich nicht allzuviel erwarten, aber über die mitgelieferten Ohrhörer ist der Klang akzeptabel, wenngleich auch nicht gerade HiFi-Qualität auf UKW erwartet werden kann. Der mitgelieferte Akku ist sehr leistungsfähig und das Radio benötigt nicht viel Strom, so daß der Akku auch einige Zeit durchhält. Fazit: ich bin begeistert von dem kleinen Teil. Klein, leicht und gut zu bedienen. Kann ich empfehlen.

Le manuel en francais manque terriblement, dommage !

The channels not eatable and charge and voice not clear in most of time. Also the battery getting finished in very short time
