The Tecsun PL-398MP is a portable DSP-based shortwave radio. Its\u00a0predecessor is possibly the\u00a0Tecsun PL-390<\/a>. It is certainly a familiar Tecsun design and layout–ergonomics appear to be in-line with their current models.<\/p>\n

The biggest new feature on the (future) Tecsun PL-398MP is the implementation of\u00a0an MP3 player. Initial rumors suggested that the PL-398MP would be able to record as well–unfortunately, this is not the case.<\/strong><\/em> There are other shortwave radios on the market with an MP3 feature, but none of them are above average receivers. Tecsun has shown a history of producing radios that perform at the top of their price bracket–one would assume this to be true of the PL-398MP.<\/p>\n
