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.

This is a decent transistor radio. The sound clarity, in my mind, isn’t as wonderful as others have stated. The sound quality is ok. It’s what I’d expect of a transistor radio. Being able to digitally hone in on exactly the station you want to listen to, is a huge plus. However, the reception is still “iffy”. With that said, it might be better if I understood how to use all the buttons you can select. I’m not illiterate- but I don’t understand the instructions (at all)! Maybe an instructions for dummy’s would be an added value. Example: I cannot figure out how to “set” any of the stations, nor do I know what settings I should select for MN radio stations. I’m keeping the radio because it’s petite in size. It works well, and I can charge it with the same phone charger I own.

AMAZING!!! I bought this radio for my camping trip up in Acadia. I ran this bad Larry for 5 days without a single drop in battery life. I used this for Ham Radio and FM Radio to have music by the fire. My Bluetooth speaker is a little too much for a campground, so this was perfect. I am beyond impressed with the small onboard speaker, which was initially my biggest concern buying this radio. I could have left the ear buds at home, which were INCLUDED by the way!!! My GF could care less about my toys to be honest, but even she complimented this radio! Don’t question buying this…do it and thank me later!!! Packed with features, I still have much to learn about this little radio!

As an Amateur Radio Operator, I normally listen to shortwave broadcasts on one of my transceivers out in my radio room. However, I also like to listen to a few programs on the AM broadcast band from time to time and began researching what would be the best portable unit for my needs. Having watched several YouTube videos by "Todderbert" and "OfficialSWLchannel," and others, I decided the Tecsun PL330 was right for me. The deciding factor for me is that the front end is not easily overloaded by a lengthy long wire antenna, and it processes heavy signal load quite well. The small form factor that fits inside the carrying case I found years ago for my Retekess V115 is a bonus. The lowest priced receiver capable of demodulating Single Sideband transmissions was the icing on the cake. There are shortwave receivers with more features, and there are certainly some with better overall sound and control layouts, but NONE have as many features for the money as the Tecsun PL330. For less than eighty USD, this little gems punches way over its weight. As an entry level shortwave receiver it offers much, for those wanting to get into the SWL hobby. As an emergency radio, this feature packed rig has everything needed to keep you informed. Even if you just want to listen to FM, it sounds great. I just don't think you can go wrong with this radio at such a low price point.

Very small radio. I was expecting a bit larger radio. But, it works. Small, compact, and does what it is advertised to do.

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 !

Years ago a radio of this size would have sound similar to the workers hitting a metal garbage can against the truck as they empty the can. These days the sound, espcially on an FM music station is concert hall quality. How do they do it? Amazing! This is a great ready with great sound, good coverage, and features that one might find in a much larger and more expensive unit. I think the best feature is step changing button. The worst feature maybe the battery life (I ordered extra batteries). However, it does charge quickly. To me, this is a must have radio for anyone who lives far from a major city, who travels outside the country, or just wants to plan for true disaster. The SSB feature allows the listener to monitor all of the major ham radio HF bands. I guess there is a second worst feature in that in does not receive the Air Bands. All is all, the radio does what it says it does. The price is reasonable and the quality is there.

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.

Lovely little radio, the overall feel is that this is a quality build, all the buttons, knobs casing are very well built. The sound quality is great and the battery lasts long. I need to learn more about SW to provide a review on that but the FM AM channels work great. This is a great emergency radio to have in the house.

المنتج جميل جدا وعلى حسب الطلب ، والطلب وصل في الوقت المحدد،لكن المندوب رفض توصيل الطلب للمنزل .

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

De la FM aux Radio-amateurs, elle capte tout avec une bonne sensibilité, un son très correct et une grande autonomie avec son accu rechargeable.
