  • For the Price of Admission, the Tecsun PL-330 Dominates all the Small Shortwave SSB Receivers. A speaker that sounds Fantastic, FM Reception is well Above Average, Full Shortwave Coverage is a Treat with SSB, Clear Display, ETM+, ability to use an External MW antenna, and More! The PL-330 will be my first choice to recommend to those looking into buying a SSB portable radio on a Budget.

    During this Daytime AM Band Scan the Terk Advantage is kept nearby to help push the limits of what this little Radio can do. The ability to directly connect external AM antennas to the Radio's Antenna jack makes for a Monster Receiver.
    Overall, the PL-330 is a Gem. I would like to see a update on the available AM Bandwidths, and moving the selection to the button only. Also the Step Button needs to be moved, or raised to make it easier to press. These are important, but not enough to outweigh all the good this radio has to offer.

    Thanks Todderbert for another great radio demonstration of the venerable PL-330 by Tecsun. I also learned that “Talk Radio”…is not music to your ears…😂!
    73! Have a great day!

    Just got mine last week. I’m new to the SW radio world & a still trying to get the hang of this, but the radio has been a lot of fun, so far.

      Cool, you can download the HAM band plan for shortwave, and tune in some amateur activity using the LSB/USB functions.

    I was tempted to buy this. I went and bought a pl-990. A ton more money. I’d love to see you review that radio.

      Hi, I have the Tecsun PL-990X, and it's a great radio with very good reception. I also have the Tecsun H-501X, which is lovely with its stereo sound. But yes, I think you're going to love the Tecsun PL-990. The Tecsun 990X that I have is the same as the Tecsun PL-990, but the X model comes with more accessories. The Tecsun PL-990 is a lovely radio to use take care and have a nice day.

      I may, the one I purchased last year had tons of issues, buttons not working, horrible tones on MW, ect. Could have got a lemon.

      @@todderbert Sorry to hear that, and I must say that I am very surprised. Mine has been nothing but an absolute peach. I use every bit of it, including the Bluetooth.

      Hi Todderbert, I also have to comment on your problems with the Tecsun 990. I have no such problems with my Tecsun 990x as you describe. On the contrary, my Tecsun PL-990x works very well. It's a lovely radio to use. However, I bought my Tecsun PL-990x from a Swedish dealer. Normally, I prefer to buy Tecsun radios from Anon-Co. I've had my Tecsun PL-990x for about three years, about as long as I've had the Tecsun H-501x. But sometimes you get a faulty radio, and it has happened to me before (not with my Tecsun radios), but I know that when the Tecsun PL-330 came out on the market, they had problems with reverse tuning on the SSB band, but Tecsun fixed that problem with a new firmware. So maybe Todderbert you should give the Tecsun PL-990X a new try take care and have a lovely evening.

    I have a TECSUN PL330 with 3306 firmware and a USB-C power jack so NO MICRO USB! The newer TECSUN PL330 have USB-C!!!

    Hi Todderbert, thanks for the bandscan. Oh yes, you do get a nice radio for the money. I love this radio, and my Tecsun PL-330 is on very often. Todderbert, you should check out the Tecsun PL-320. You get more bandwidth filters with the Tecsun PL-320, but it doesn’t have SSB. However, it does have some nice upgrades. And Todderbert, I just ordered a new flashlight-my first Acebeam flashlight. It’s the upgraded Acebeam Pokelit AA with 1,000 lumens in gray color and a cool white 6,500K. I’m also going to buy the dark green one with the neutral white 5,000K version. It’s a bit of a bad time to buy flashlights now because it’s bright here all summer up in northern Sweden, where I live; the sun never sets, so I can't test flashlights properly. But I couldn’t resist buying it. I got such a good deal on the Acebeam Pokelit AA 1,000 lumens. I have seen your review of the Acebeam Pokelit AA in orange color, also with a 5,000K tint and 650 lumens output. I think they seem very nice. Take care, Todderbert, and have a nice night.

      I use my Acebeam a ton. Just picked up a new light, the Skilhunt EC200S Mini. Cool little dude :)

      @todderbert Hey Todderbert, nice! Yes, I like what I see (flashlight talk, if I may joke a little).
      In Acebeam Pokelit AA flashlights, yes, I'm also going to pick up the Acebeam Pokelit AA, the more neutral white 5000K version. The Skilhunt EC200S is interesting; I'll take a look at that flashlight. Yes, I also bought a Skilhunt flashlight, my first Skilhunt E2A. Skilhunt has some interesting flashlights. Take care, Todderbert. I just saw your review of the RunningByte DR-01, which I think is a nice and good low-cost radio.

      Hi again, I just checked out the Skilhunt EC200S-Mini flashlight. It seems very nice. I saw that they have high CRI LED versions in 4500K and 3000K. I must say I'm definitely interested in this Skilhunt flashlight, but I'll wait for your review to hear what you think about the Skilhunt EC200S-Mini flashlight. Take care, Todderbert.
