Night Scanning: the Tecsun PL-330 Radio on Shortwave

Winter evening in Ohio is a good time to scan the shortwave broadcast and HAM frequencies. Join me for a stroll up and down the finely tuned dial of my Tecsun PL-330 AM FM SW SSB receiver.
Propagation conditions seem a bit more favorable tonight for teasing out the signals.
We'll drop in for a bit to hear the Boys of Radio talking about: radio (in a segment I now realize I should have named--in the inspiration of the Coverdale Psalter--'Wonders in the Land of Ham').

I was so impressed with the performance of my PL-330, that I bought a second one!

This was fun - so interesting to hear what is out there! That's a nice little receiver - seems to have a lot of good features. Thanks!

Just got off the phone with Keito Inc...unpublished little secret...to program a frequency below 3.000mhz, enter the frequency then push the delete button. Awesome, now I can listen to shortwave maritime ship traffic.

Central Ohio, I'm in Ohio as well. Bought an RTL-SDR v3 a few years ago, ever since I've been hooked. Bought an Eton Elite Executive, and an ATS-25, going to be getting a PL330 soon. Going to be upgrading from my RTL-SDR to an SDRPlay RSP1A. An MLA-30+ was a game changer for me (where I live I deal with two noise sources which makes using the telescopic troublesome).

With your PL-330 on ETM mode, press and hold the "6" button. If your firmware supports this hidden feature you should see two digits appearing at the clock display. You can change this value from 00 to 04 by rotating the tuning knob. This adjusts the ETM scanning rate, with 00 being the fastest and 04 the slowest.

You’re making me want to grab a shortwave radio. I’ve only ever used a website

[@eldontyrellcorp]

So where would tou rank the pl-330 among all your radios?

[@josesebastian5986]

Good radio for the prizw. But two years after boght it, the charging socket begins to fail contact. With the Tecsun PL310ET the same problem was happens. Tried with a two new cables but problem persists.
