Can use recharageable or non recharageable batteries, dependent on switch setting. Lots of presets. Excellent value. Review: A lot of bang for the buck - The Tecsun PL-680 is surprisingly good for it's price. On short wave it has a very low noise pre amplifier and low noise when tuning. It has a high impedance antenna input, but it benefits from an earth connection, which may be wired to the sleeve of the antenna or the ear phone connector. It has a good AM synchrounus demodulator with a wide capture range of 2 kHz in bad signal conditions. It has a narrow band / wide band selector which works fine, but in wide position the center frequency is not in the middle of the band. The antenna connector puts out voltage, probably designed for an active antenna. Use a capacitor for isolation if you are connecting a home brew antenna. The SW receiver has few birdies and great performance. Even the SSB is useful, i have listened to DX amateurs on 80, 40 and 20 meters with it. for its price I believe it is the best you can get ## Features - Covers LW/MW/FM/Shortwave and VHF AIR band (118-137 MHz) - Dual conversion for MW/LW/Shortwave with excellent sensitivity & selectivity - Dual alarm clock with adjustable auto turn off stopper from 1-90 minutes - SW Single Side Band (SSB) feature with BFO control - Dimensions - 190 x 35 x 112mm WHD - Weight 475g ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TOLUTDO | | Best Sellers Rank | 187,439 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 2,003 in Hi-Fi Receivers & Separates 2,239 in Radios & Boomboxes 41,482 in Portable Sound & Video Products | | Box Contents | 230V Mains DC 6V adaptor | | Brand | Tecsun | | Brand Name | Tecsun | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Earphone, Headphone | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 333 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Frequency | 137 MHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06920487516808 | | Hardware Interface | Unknown | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 19L x 3.5W x 11.2H centimetres | | Item Weight | 520 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tecsun | | Manufacturer Part Number | PL680 | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 1 Watts | | Model Number | PL680 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required. | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Portable | | Product dimensions | 19L x 3.5W x 11.2H centimetres | | Radio Bands Supported | FM | | Special feature | Portable | | Tuner Type | AM, FM, SSB | | Tuner technology | AM, FM, SSB | | Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tecsun - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Included components:** 230V Mains DC 6V adaptor - **Item weight:** 520 Grams - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 19L x 3.5W x 11.2H centimetres - **Radio bands supported:** FM - **Special feature:** Portable - **Tuner technology:** AM, FM, SSB ## Images ![Tecsun PL-680 Portable World Band Receiver with AM/FM/SSB Modes and VHF Airband - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GgC1txDlL.jpg) ![Tecsun PL-680 Portable World Band Receiver with AM/FM/SSB Modes and VHF Airband - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vpyXJUJ4L.jpg) ![Tecsun PL-680 Portable World Band Receiver with AM/FM/SSB Modes and VHF Airband - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J9OYeHLuL.jpg) ![Tecsun PL-680 Portable World Band Receiver with AM/FM/SSB Modes and VHF Airband - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xy1+qNl9L.jpg) ![Tecsun PL-680 Portable World Band Receiver with AM/FM/SSB Modes and VHF Airband - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jp7nDpl+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how to listen to long wawe radio on this ?** A: Note that certain options must be selected with the radio switched off.These options are indicated by the orange printing on the radio.One of these options is to switch on or enable Longwave reception. Key 2On switching on the radio press AM, but you will find you are in still in medium wave MW.Press AM again and you should arrive in LW at last. This is far from obvious :(This is far from obvious. **Q: Whats the best rechargable batteries to go with this radio** A: Comes with rechargeable battery’s **Q: want an air radio. is this it?** A: Yes, this will has a Civil Airband Receiver (108 - 136 Mhz). **Q: Can you add shortwave station names to the memory frequency storage?** A: Hi, unfortunately you cannot alpha tag stations on the Tecsun PL-680.Best regards, Nevada. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good performance and battery life. *by D***B on 6 November 2025* Impressive piece of kit.

Cons - Not very good MW receiver (I do not receive all international stations I receive with my old National) - Not very good for listening to 80 m ham band (maybe this has to do with the antenna) ## Frequently Bought Together - Tecsun PL680 Portable Digital PLL Dual Conversion AM/FM/LW/SW and Air Band Radio with SSB (Single Side Band) Reception - Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna - Tecsun AN-48X Indoor Active Loop AM/LW/SW Radio Antenna --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48359894-tecsun-pl-680-portable-world-band-receiver-with-am-fm](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48359894-tecsun-pl-680-portable-world-band-receiver-with-am-fm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
