TECSUN PL 660

Got my Tecsun PL  660 yesterday. The package contained 1 earphone , 1 extendable simple wire antenna , 4 rechargeable batteries , power adapter and manual. My disappointment is that the power adpater is not compatible with 220v AC, its with 120v AC. Need to see alternative for this :-(

Ok.. tested it.. awesome performance. Today morning listened to 7050 Khz Belgaum Net in Amateur frequency with nomal whip antenna , extened a sigle step. With this setup I was able to copy the entire Net with 57 to 59 report.  

Detailed review will follow..

My new TECSUN PL 660 Radio

Tecsun PL-660 is a Digital PLL AM/FM/SW/LW/SSB/Air Band Radio receiver. Bought through e-bay and shipped to one of my friend who was in US. He's coming back on next week and this tiny but powerful  Radio will arrive in my hands.

With this tiny monster , I hope that I would be able to scan all the SW band for my favourite Radio DXing and HAM radio listening.  Eagerly waiting ...

Will Update more on the performance side of this tiny radio soon...
