It was missed in the PL-880, and most thought surely Tecsun would surely correct that mistake when the new PL-990 was announced, especially when it was going to cost $120 more than the previous PL-880. Sure, you can get a scanner if you want to monitor the VHF-Airband, but why should you have to do that? Especially since you're paying nearly $300, and yet some good quality shortwave SSB Shortwave portables that cost less than $160 include VHF-Air. **Q: what is the maximum storage micro sd card this will accept?** A: 128g **Q: Does this radio record onto the SD card?** A: No, it must be recorded on another device. **Q: Is this listing for the international version pl-990 or us version pl-990x?** A: Mine was not the x version ## Frequently Bought Together - Tecsun PL990 Digital Worldband AM/FM Shortwave Longwave Radio with Single Side Band Reception & MP3 Player, Matte Black - Tecsun AN-48X Indoor Active Loop AM/LW/SW Radio Antenna - Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave 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/485707392-pl990-digital-worldband-am-fm-shortwave-longwave-radio-with-single](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/485707392-pl990-digital-worldband-am-fm-shortwave-longwave-radio-with-single) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
