Very good bandscan, this is a very capable radio. I keep recommending the 880, not sure if anyone listens with the lure of all the el-cheapo junque out there. My 880 and 990 are two of my favorite portable radios over 50+ years of DX'ing. Thanks Tood!

[@alvinmorris5404]

Couldn't help but notice the size similarity between the tecsun 330 and the Grundig G5 😊 I stop an wonder sometimes if I'm the only one who has been inspired to buy radios by this Todderbert guy LOL an then he got me hooked on CFZM-AM 740 ZOOMER radio in Toronto Canada especially the afternoon express with Norm And Eva D.

I got mine brand new same model for $7.49 from goodwill store. I couldn’t believe less than $8 bucks.

[@fordprefect80]

I was in the market to get a shortwave radio and took the plunge and bought the pl880. Glad I did as it seems to be a quality unit.

[@draff1662]

The PL-880 is one of my fav radios. It’s great on its battery, sensitive, always have a good time (propagation cooperating) on MW. PL-990 is a tad more sensitive IMO but I still get everything on the 880 as the 990. The build is superior one of the best looking radios!

[@johnbeckham1483]

RDS on FM would be nice but otherwise a good quality overall radio, Todderbert, indeed the Tecsun PL-880! Thank you...

[@douglasrowland9986]

I love this radio. The only negative for me is the lack of a external AM antenna jack. Fortunately my PL-330 does.

[@BigBearBloo]

Thanks for all your videos! This video was the one that made me finally pull the trigger. Recently got the Sangean SR-35 because it reminded me of my first transistor radio I got as a child 1974. It’s really fun, but now I want MORE! ;)

[@jgstevens5169]

As always, Thank you for the MW scan. Darn electrical weather interference, but come what may, not much we can do about it. The amount of time and effort you put in for us Radio Geeks is appreciated. And remastering of all the old time radio shows too!! IDK how you get so much done. All to say, we look forward to your latest KZbin edition. I can't count how many times I've searched your previous shows for radios I'm interested in to adding to my collection, much to my wife's chagrin.... ☺

The PL-880 is my "go to" portable. The audio quality is AMAZING. P.S. Even though I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, CKLW 800 Khz (Windsor, ONT) was one of my favorite stations growing up in the 1970s. It's "news/talk" today, but back then it was a KILLER "Top 40" station!

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Appears to have the most extensive functionality for storing stations into memory of any radio out there.

[@raymondg5643]

PL-880 is my favorite. Compared with xhdata d-808, PL8880 excels in audio quality and user interface.

[@tonyperone3242]

I had this radio and it sounded good.

[@alvinmorris5404]

I noticed at the first station you were tuning in that I can hear precipitation static in between the small pops from the lighting discharge in the distance, I think it takes a really good radio to pick up the precipitation static which the PL880 does. You said that the 330 is slightly more portable, well if iron man didn't have to take up too much room with his extra sandwiches you'd have plenty of room left for 880 in the pick nick basket 😉

[@ClickinChicken]

My Dad grew up in from Chicago SOUTH SIDE.. Gothe Street, he said.. It was near CUB stadium apparently. He told me Old Oscar Meyer used to throw them quarters to go buy candy. Sorry for all your Crime/nuisance problems. We have to WHOPE that in shape.

[@dennishrusecky7549]
