Tecsun PL-310ET Shortwave Radio Daytime MW

The Tecsun PL-310ET AM FM LW Shortwave receiver is my recommendation for those looking for a portable radio that is inexpensive, has decent reception performance and uses standard AAs. This radio has been on my desk since I purchased it many years ago and remains there for daily use. Cruising the Daytime Medium Wave Band (AM in the States), is a treat. The bandwidth control shines along with the use of a great passive loop and viewing the radio's signal/noise ratio function.

Overall, there are some new radios coming out from Tecsun, one is going to have SSB so you can listen to HAMs and will probably be under $80. Is the PL-310ET still a viable shortwave radio? Yes. It runs on simple and easy to find AAs, has great audio, and will still supply the owner with many years of tuning bliss :)

It is very sensitive in SWL . I could listen to Radio Alcaraván from Colombia with 1kw in Argentina using the telescopic antenna. Obviously it was a magic night, but this little receiver works fine with any random wire antenna. FM is another goal. Thanks for your excellent tests my friend. Have a nice 2021 and 73

Picked up one of these yesterday online. Can't wait. Thanks for the vids Todd.

This is a good radio for AM FM and sound quality and i have this but still i go for my 380 for daily use, easy to press buttons specially at night.. if only buttons are the same with 380 maybe i choose this.

Have you ever tried a session at the beach? I've tried this, and the retekess V117 in a trip to Huatulco and Mazunte Bays in Oaxaca, Mx (Pacific coast), and every time was plenty of fun! Tons of signals from everywhere! Even with the whip antenna only! Pure pleasure!

Would be nice to see one or both of the new Tecsun radios in your hands. The 990 and the 330.

after a few months i am not happy with this radio , i love the sound quality and the reception ,etm is real plus ,i even have two long wires to the balcony , but after a few months the volume control is giving up ,i cleaned it and after a few weeks the problem came back ,and it's annoying to have to deal with the volume while you are half a sleep or just bust with anything . Other this is batery life ,i have to charge it every second day even tho the radio is working quiet , so knowing this i would not buy this radio again , reception and sound is great i love it ,but the issues i mentioned makes it a no go , and clearly explains the price ,i would collect another 50$ and get something better

Hi Todd, The feature I like best about this radio is the ambient temperature sensor. Do you know of any radios with better features, better reception, and a bigger speaker that have similar functionality? It didn't appear that the ETON Elite Executive had this function. I plan to use this radio in a hot tent, and knowing temperature in the room is very useful. Thanks!

I have had this radio since July 1 2018 . This radio kid a great MW DXer . The problem I have had is with the display light no longer works when using the tuning dial . The light is not burnt out as it works by pressing the display button !

Hi todderbert I was just wondering if you had plans to do any more bandscans with the PL880?

[@keytree]

Buy the 310 today, or hold out for the PL-330?
