Pros and cons of the Tecsun PL-880 after a few weeks of use. Is it worth the nearly £200 asking price or should you look elsewhere?
Tecsun on Amazon - geni.us/pl880
The short answer is no. It's overpriced for what it is. Although Tecsun seems to be a respected brand in this field, you can probably get a radio that performs equally well for under half the price. it does have a few nice features though in a tech field that is becoming increasingly dated and left in the 1990s.
There's not much innovation in this sector so it's nice to find a radio that does some things without feeling like you're using a ZX Spectrum.
I've genuinely tried to make this video as short and concise as possible. Do you like this format or do you prefer something a little more in-depth with demonstrations of the problems I'm referring to? I actually can't believe it still came out at over seven minutes!
