\"\"<\/a>We posted an update about the new Tecsun PL-330 in late April 2020. While we didn’t have a lot of details, it’s worth reading<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We still don’t have a lot of details (as of today, July 3, 2020) but readers have been contacting me and commenting recently with links to online retailers who are already selling the PL-330.<\/p>\n

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

SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Babis, shared a link to retailer (Taoboa.com, see above), this website<\/a> with more information, and a review on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before you buy<\/h1>\n

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

To be clear: I am not placing an order for the Tecun PL-330 yet.<\/p>\n

Indeed, as I mentioned in a previous post<\/a>, my trusted Tecsun contact informed me that all of the new portables–the PL-990, H-501, and PL-330–are first being released as a “domestic” or pilot version in China. The pilot version is not<\/em> the final and fully-updated\/upgraded international\/export version.<\/p>\n

I will make an announcement here on the SWLing Post<\/em> when the international\/export versions are available for purchase.<\/p>\n

To be clear, I can’t comment on the performance of the domestic models, but I do understand that the export models will likely have better specifications and even updated front panels\/functions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also understand that the PL-990 will likely be the first export model in terms of availability.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned! I’ll post any\/all updates here on the Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n
