Review: Good Little Radio - This radio is a very much smaller version of my Sangean. Indeed it is very similar to my Grundig Yacht Boy. It's small and easy to travel with. Is has a zipped pouch to carry the radio and all the bits and pieces, earphones, long wire for SW reception, and USB cable for charging. So, with a USB charger you can with the appropriate plug, charge it in the car, or charge it at home from a wall socket, or charge it from a computer. With rechargeable batteries, it just all too easy. The audio quality from such a small radio is better than most, and if you are a Radio 5 listener, you will be glad that it has the ability to drag in the AM signal in the evenings, when other much bigger radios will have so much noise on them, that you can't hear the station you want. The ETM tuning is really good. It scans and keeps any decent stations in memory. So, if you scan the SW bands, it will locate and store the stations that are acceptable to listen to. This also works very well on AM, but in a heavy use area for FM such as London, you will end up with every station in memory. However, it's an easy matter to just turn the knob until you have the one you want to listen to. There is a more conventional and permanent memory system available as well, but in my case I just use the ETM, as it gives you the best stations, in the area where you are located. If you're an SSB/BFO type of listener, then pass this one by. However, they do have the bigger model that does have the side bands etc. This model is for the person who arrives somewhere and wants to quickly listen to the strongest signals in that area. Good for travellers, and certainly simply to use. It's not flimsy, and I would put the build quality as similar to the Sony's, and Sangean's ie durable and long lasting. As I said before, the audio quality is good, and surprisingly good on AM for such a small radio. With the supplied headphones the FM stereo is of the highest quality. I would recommend this radio to those that want something decent for travel, and also as a better than most type of home radio.
Review: Get one now, all you former Sony users! - This radio is fantastic, and considerably better than I was expecting. Tecsun should employ a native English speaker to revise the manual and to write publicity giving this radio full credit. Like many others, I have been a long term user of small well made Sony radios on my solitary trips camping up in the mountains of Europe and America. The SW100 finally gave up because of the design flaw in the hinge which now cannot be repaired. I expected the Tecsun to be a bit dodgy and sloppily made and it's the opposite! What a bargain. It may not actually have single side band or Sony's long excellent synchronous detection, but it brings in stations as if it has. Maybe it's this wonderful DSP chip? I have so far tested it out on what it will be doing in Europe- the World Service frequencies and it's doing really well- this is a good test as these frequencies are not broadcast 'to Europe' any more. I'm hoping it will work with the ultimate test: R4 LW down in the Pyrenees, but that's a tall order and even the best radios can only do that at odd times in the middle of the night. The Easy Tuning Mode uses memories which are distinct from the 500 or so user controlled memories- you just set ETM going in your chosen band FM, MW, LW and SW (it does all SW bands in one ETM instruction, but you can stop it when you like) and you then have a collection of received stations which you move through using the excellent notched tuning wheel (I mean that you get a palpable click as you move to the next station). If you like one, you can store it in one of your hundreds of memories (chosen either with the same wheel, or direct from the keyboard like 2-3-7) without losing your place in the ETM memories. This means that it is simple to re-scan the entire band whenever you want and all the ETM memories will be replaced, but your own stored memories will be retained. This is excellent design! (I'm having to keep using excellent- it applies to everything except the manual which considerably undersells the radio). You have several settings to enable or disable audible 'beeps' (I always disable mine, but they must be useful for the visually impaired), intelligent screen lighting (very useful, comes on when you move the wheels), internal charging of the 3 AA NiMH batteries (or you can use disposables- it seems to be very economical on power). In the box you get some perfectly acceptable stereo earphones, a long wire antenna which you clip onto the telescopic aerial (not quite as posh as the Sony one many of you will know which winds up into the round black case, but still good- I won't know how good until I try it out in the hills, with the other end fixed to my walking poles), a very handy zip bag for the radio, and another little bag for the antenna and earphones. All you former Sony users- this is what you need!. Of course, I don't know how durable it is but externally and with the 'feel' of the controls, it seems comparable with Sony- it looks like the original Sony 7600 which is 30 years old and which I still use at home, but smaller. Only a little larger than the SW100.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the radio have an external antenna jack ?**
A: No.
BUT, in case you are not aware a 'clip on' antenna works just as well.
The clip-on antenna that comes with the radio is 13' long, and does not pick up much SW band.
Some are for sale on Amazon that are 23' long = better.
Make your own and it gets even better.  65' is nice, and 100' is good.

**Q: Does it come with an external antenna**
A: The Tecsun PL-380 comes with an external shortwave antenna that attaches to your telescoping antenna and does a good job of increasing the shortwave reception.- Enjoy the world!

**Q: Does this come with a DC plug?**
A: Mine did not come with a separate DC plug.  It does however have a plug in for one, so it must be a separate item you can purchase.

**Q: How do you change to 10 khz step? the button does not change it. it changes to the ‘f’ temperature though.**
A: When the radio is off press the number "3"
