  • Awesome Quality, Sound, Price! A+
I have many radios, including several World Band Radios. I recently received my new Tecsun PL-880 and I Love it! The Sound is Amazing! The PL-880 is By Far the Best Sounding of ALL my portables. Since I have SW experience the ease of use of the PL-880 is relatively intuitive. The PL-880 is much easier to use than one of my other world band radios, which usually requires me to have my manual handy to recall certain functions, but not on the PL-880! The Build Quality is Solid. The Rolling Knobs on the side are of quality materials, and are pleasure to scroll through the bands. Their placement is logical also, from Tune, Fine, Volume top to bottom. At first I was leery of the 18650 Lithium Battery, only because I thought they would be hard to replace. Upon research, they are readily available, and reasonable priced. They even sell that size for Vape devices, so most smoke shops have them. The longevity of the battery itself is amazing...lasts for days per charge (several hours/day with dial light ON). Which brings me to the Dial Light feature. I love that that dial light can be made to stay on, most of my other radios it turns off after a few seconds if not dialing stations. Now the most important part, the reception....The kit comes with an external coiled extension antenna, I have not needed it at all. I have pulled in stations all over the globe (time of day, and atmospheric condition dependent) with just with the telescopic antenna itself. AM/FM locks in perfectly, and FM is especially amazing due to the amazing sounding speaker. I get many more am/fm stations than just my local stations normally heard on regular radios. The usb/lsb works very well, and is easy to use. I've ready some reviews that complain about the sync mode (easy to turn on, just hit the usb/lsb a second time), I'm not a pro, just an amateur SWL, and it seems to work as fine as or better than any of my other radios which have that feature. The kit itself is great also. It comes with a nice zippered protective case, One battery (wish there were two), USB charging cord, the external antenna, and a really cool two sided poster. One side shows the PL-880 and its functions, and the other side is Colorful Amateur Radio World Map, perfect for your wall of your listening room/garage. My only 2 wishes for this radio would have been Airband, and a Line In, so I can take advantage of its awesome speaker. The Pl-880 is a Fun, Solidly Built, Great Sounding, Quality World Band Radio, which was reasonably priced ($159 at time of my purchase) . I highly recommend the PL-880! ... show more

  • Compact world radio with digital tuning precision
This is my first experience with a digital radio, so to me two great features are very precise, stable tuning plus the memory/scan feature for storing station settings. Also, the exceptional standard FM and AM operations themselves in such a portable package make the radio worthwhile. Here are more details: 1. FM operation - as noted in reviews, has great built-in mono sound, plus when using headphones or speakers stereo operation is great. Reception is great, as would be expected. 2. AM operation - Precise, stable tuning at 10 kilocycle intervals. I had no problem pulling in 31 AM stations. I'm located in Northern Virginia and example reception included Toronto, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, NYC, Boston. The precise digital tuning readout makes it simple to google the frequency to identify the station. The frequency is 100% stable. 3. World shortwave - it works, though it's a somewhat questionable effort, given internet capability plus the dearth of broadcast stations in modern times. To get really into this a serious antenna would help, plus listening tends to be best in coldest winter months. 4. Ham radio - I listened to "SSB" ham networks located within a few hundred miles and that worked fine. Again, a serious antenna plus listening in cold winter months would increase chances of picking up farflung stations in Antartica, Austrailia, or wherever. For serious listeners - please feel free to comment - I don't claim to be an expert. 5. Scanning stations - This is really nice. Taking FM as an example, you can automatically scan all active stations in the FM band into memory, then scroll through the memory - stations 1, 2, 3 etc - as opposed to tuning through the station frequencies. The same applies to any other AM or Shortwave band. So for Shortwave bands where the stations may be widely separated, it is far easier to scroll through the stored station frequencies - station 1, 2, 3, … - than to try to tune in widely separated stations on the band by tuning through the station frequencies. 6. Tuning stations - Due to the digital nature of the radio, the tuning readout is exact, precise, and 100% stable. Those who have done any serious listening on non-digital radios will appreciate how useful this is. Overall - quite happy I purchased this radio, and am using it mainly as a nice convenient stereo FM hooked to a speaker system in my office, with occasional forays into AM and shortwave. When winter rolls around again, I'll do more exploration on the shortwave. ... show more

  • Very nice for travel
I was debating over getting this model or the Tecsun PL-680. There are many reviews and pros/cons for each model. I eventually chose the PL-880 and I've no regrets. This model has many features, and a number of them are "hidden". Doing a search you can find how to access these new features, some useful (battery run time), others not so much. The included case is nice and will keep the radio from damage while traveling. It's not leather, but sturdy and holds up well to packing into my carry-on backpack. The provided 18650 battery holds a charge for a long time! I like that it's rechargeable, and I'm sure it will last a long time too. The radio has wonderful room filling sound from the speaker. On a recent trip to Tennessee I was a little disappointed by the reception, but that may have been due to my location in the hotel building. I just had to adjust the antenna, and sometimes use the provided external antenna, and got good enough reception on local FM. The shortwave works well, but that's hit or miss due to the airwave band conditions. There's also not as many shortwave broadcasters as there were 20 years ago. But there are still many foreign broadcast to be heard and enjoyed. I really like the SSB capability to listen to ham radio operators. When you hear voices like Donal Duck, you just turn on the SSB, and then tune until the voices are understood. Very easy. I'm think about getting an extra external antenna, there's many on the market. This is a great radio. ... show more
