One of the best radio receiver in 2021 the TECSUN PL 880

 Yesterday i look the best receivers sale by Anon-CO and i watch the opinions of Jay Allen who have test many radio receivers from this brand.

I watch the TECSUN H-501X, the PL 990X and the PL 880

To watch the test of Jay Allen

https://radiojayallen.com/

The most expensive H-501x is a very nice receiver but for me a little bit to large and heavy.

The PL 990x is better for the size and i think he can be maybe my choce if i need to change my old SANGEAN ATS 909.

But after i read the opinion about the TECSUN PL 880 i think it will be my new receiver. Why ? In fact they are not a lot of diference betwen the 990x and the 880. Just the look maybe. The price is a little bit lower for the 880.

For Europe the price is €178.49 its like 199 US Dollars include shipping

For MW and SW DX ers its a good compagnion, You can plug a wire antenna for DX.

A good receiver for SSB

I price is to high for you look at the 660

https://radiojayallen.com/tecsun-pl-660/

he was sale only for 99 US Dollars but now i think you can fond only a second hand radio on internet. 

When you order remember to look the shipping price and maybe you will have to pay taxe in your country. For europe the Rescun radio fro anon-Co are sent from Germany so we dont have to pay taxes.

If your budget is lower they are a lot of TECSUN models

The famous PL 330 is a best seller and can listen SSB mode for only €73.77 for europe so only 80 US Dollars !!!!!!

For very low price you can have few models

27 Euros or 30 US Dollars only !
