Review on Tecsun PL398MP DSP Digital AM/FM/LW Shortwave Radio: Dual Speakers & MP3 Player, Black - The Ultimate Audio Solution by DoYun Kim ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

Great receiver. I take it mainly when I go out of town to nature, as well as in case of a cataclysm. There is a desire to somehow check the reception on an external antenna, but even with a regular one in SW mode, I found many stations indoors during the day, it catches more than 100 at night, and this is in St. Petersburg! There are also no problems with a flash drive, although I did not insert more than 8 gigs. Charges batteries great. For charging, I use USB charging from the phone, only I change the cord to miniUSB. The main thing is to set the appropriate type of batteries in the receiver menu, otherwise it will not charge. The temperature shows very well, as well as the time. I haven't used the alarm clock or timer yet. I ordered in the summer of 2022 in a Chinese online store with a good discount. Now, after the price increase, I would probably refuse to buy a receiver altogether.

Pros
  • Excellent FM reception, satisfactory SW reception by the standard antenna. Batteries last a long time (I use rechargeable ones).
Cons
  • missing for me
