Re: [IRCA] Tecsun PL-606 DSP Receiver Review

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Pete,
 
The FM performance of the new PL-606 is excellent, as it is in almost all  
of the new Si4734 DSP-chip Ultralight radios. Because of dramatic 
breakthroughs  in the DSP chip design, the FM sensitivity and selectivity are almost 
in a  different league, in comparison to traditional portables.
 
The new PL-606 also includes a clever screw-on plastic clamp attachment, to 
 extend the length of the whip antenna from 22.25" up to 38.25". This also  
provides a significant boost in FM sensitivity, making the radio the 
Ultralight  radio class leader in weak-signal FM performance. Some of the FM 
stations  received from Puyallup (not too far from you) are listed in the 
competitive test  section of the PL-606 review article.
