[IRCA] Tecsun PL210 ultralight? + more new models
I haven't seen the weight yet & how many or what kind of batteries, but it is definitely smaller than just barely fitting in pocket. PLL digital, 1600 memories, wide/narrow BW. No DSP. Availability sometime this year.
Other 2009 releases from Tecsun with PLL digital tuning: PL310, PL330, & PL380. These will have DSP. You can pick up a few details from Tecsun website but it is almost all in Chinese. They are pocket size but not quite ultralights. Not clear if any have SSB, guessing no & prices not known but probably all under $100??
Tecsun PL300 WT larger than pocket size, seems same as Grundig G8. Conflicting reports as to if PLL digital tuning or just digital readout. Pics show ATS (auto tuning & storage of strongest stations), presumed page numbers, add & delete memories.
Could an analog tuned radio do that? Tecsun uses PL for phase lock loop, DR for analog tuning with digital readout, R for analog dial. $49.95 + $5.95 from Universal when it becomes available.
The most interesting portable announced as available this year would be the larger than pocket size Grundig G3, possibly available late June. It's a Grundig G5/Eton E5 with sync detection, selectable LSB/USB & RDS on FM as added features for no extra cost (about $150). 73, George S., MN
