    Hello, my name is Jose Luis. Buy this model. The band selector has stopped working. It only receives FM. Try reset but it doesn’t work. Is there a hidden function to solve this? Thank you Best regards.

    I downloaded and took a quick look at the S-8800 Operation Manual. This may be a very interesting multiband portable. A 50 ohm BNC jack is provided for external antennas in addition to connections for high impedance antennas and grounding. There is a selection of bandwidth choices for LW/MW/SW in AM and SSB, but the widest is only 6 kHz. Audio output power is bumped up to just under a watt. Two 18650 Li-ion batteries for power. No RDS provision for FM which is a serious omission at the anticipated price point. There doesn’t seem to be a SYNC function for SW. LW/MW/SW sensitivity control is a two-position LOCAL/DX switch instead of an RF GAIN potentiometer. I look forward to reading reviews of this radio!

    Thanks for this Thomas – I am eagerly awaiting delivery of this radio from Germany. Look forward to seeing how it performs against the PL-880.

    Cheers,

    Rich
