Hi Thomas, I just found this photo [above] on Reddit<\/a> of three new radios from Tecsun: the PL-330, the PL-990, and the H-501. I knew about the PL-990, but I didn’t realize there was a PL-330 or H-501. Any inside info? 73, Lee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for your message, Lee. I had not seen the photo of the PL-330 until you sent this one.<\/p>\n

The PL-330<\/strong>, I assume, is the latest in the PL-3XX line which has primarily been DSP-based ultralight broadcast receivers. I believe only one model, the PL-365\/CountyComm GP5-SSB<\/a>, had SSB capabilities. The PL-330 appears to have dedicated LSB and USB mode buttons on the front panel (lower right in photo below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since both the Digitech AR-1780<\/a> and XHDATA D-808<\/a> both have selectable sideband, I’m not surprised the new PL-330 does as well. I’m very curious if the PL-990 will be priced competitively like PL-3XX models have been in the past–perhaps below $80 US.<\/p>\n

The PL-330 certainly appears to have taken design cues from the PL-990 in terms of overall control layout.<\/p>\n

The Tecsun H-501<\/strong> is a new model that was previously referred to as the Tecsun S-9900.\u00a0 I believe a pilot run has been made of the PL-990 and H-501–possibly the PL-330 as well.<\/p>\n

I will be reviewing each of these radios as soon as they’re available here in the US.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the tip, Lee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
