Review: Soy fan de Tecsun!. Este es el segundo radio que compo en desertcart y la recepción es excepcional. He logrado captar mis emisoras favoritas de la onda corta y decodificar el shortwave radiogram sin una antena externa. El audio es bueno, pero no tanto como el del eton elite field.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Put 880 in its case>case top presses keys>light remains on all the time 880 is in case draining battery. Key lock does not fix this.**
A: One of the hidden features turns the light off. Pressing the 5 with the radio off toggles between off and normal (auto) for the light. There are quite a few hidden settings for this radio. An internet search for PL880 Hidden Features will give you more information. I have not used this setting.

**Q: How do you charge the battery?**
A: The radio automatically goes into charge mode when the radio is on off and you plug in the 5.1 charger supply (Not included).  However, old cell phone plug in the wall chargers work as long as it's 5.1 volts with the appropriate jack to plug into the radio.  You can also charge the radio off of any USB output plug.  It not only charges the PL880 but it also puts a timer on the display which shows how long it has been charges and shows the stop time when it is fully charged.  If you have the appropriate charger, you can also remove the battery and charge it but the radio does a great job on charging the battery.  I get about 14 to 16 hours of use off the battery per charge.

**Q: Why won’t my battery charge?**
A: It only charges the battery when it's off. Using a USB voltage and current meter, the pl-880 draws 1 ma @5v on with or without the battery. When off, it draws 37ma @ 5v, when the battery is in the radio.

**Q: What is the firmware version?**
A: Do not know, but it works well. There is no frequency drift or bleeding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***S on 13 October 2015*

It's all been said for this multi-band radio; lots of excellent reviews as this radio is a real winner, especially for any serious shortwave listener... even with the telescopic aerial/antenna, it produces good signals across the HF band; FM has great sensitivity too, and long-medium wave is a little above most average receivers, which is a same; if an additional RF amplifier stage or even better, a longer/diameter ferrite-rod, would have been the cream on top for this great receiver. Where this radio comes into it's own, is the ability to change the filters to reduce or remove interference QRM, and in some cases QRN; LW-MW can also select filter band-pass too, and there are a number of unofficial un-published button functions, that will provide some useful tweaks to suite your own preferences; search SWLing for this information at: http://swling.com/blog/2014/06/complete-list-of-tecsun-pl-880-hidden-features/ The two changes that need doing for shortwave is, the DNR Dynamic Noise Reduction, and MUTE... however, for most general users, they will be more than happy as the radio comes out of the box, without any tweaks required. If I compare my Icom IC-R75 that's now a little long in the tooth, regarding it design life; the Icom falls short along side the Tecsun PL 880 portable, and so compact with very good sound quality, from such a small package... for the price you get a lot of quality radio technology, considerable thought has been put into this receiver, with great results. I Highly Recommended this receiver. Unfortunately I have now to state one caveat ! after several days of enjoyable use, the pre-charged battery discharged without any indicator showing it was depleting ? I did think this was odd, but now is evident of a faulty charging problem within the receiver; thus had to return to Amazon... having said this, it's still a great receiver and hopefully, my replacement will be as good.
