Tecsun PL-398MP

Advantages: Excellent reception FM, satisfactory reception SW standard antenna. Batteries last for a long time (I use rechargeable batteries).

Disadvantages: for me are missing

Comment: Great receiver. I take it, mostly, when I leave the countryside for nature, as well as in case of a cataclysm. There is a desire to somehow check the reception on an external antenna, but even with a regular one in the SW mode indoors I found many stations during the day, at night I catch more than 100 and this is in Petersburg!
There are also no problems with a flash drive, although I did not insert more than 8 gigs. Excellent charging batteries. For charging, I use USB charging from the phone, only the cable is changed to miniUSB. The main thing to put in the receiver menu is the corresponding type of batteries, otherwise it will not charge. The temperature shows not very bad, as well as time. I did not use the alarm clock and timer yet.
Ordered in the summer of 2014 in the Chinese online store with a good discount. Now, after the price increase, they would probably refuse to buy the receiver at all.

Advantages: Compact, lightweight, excellent build quality, nothing dangles on snot. There is a backlight of all buttons and a display. It reads mp-3 from sd-cards. A fairly convenient control. Excellent radio reception. There is also a clock, an alarm clock and a thermometer. Very economical batteries.

Disadvantages: The sound from the speakers is loud, but very average in quality, although I don’t try what to expect from the beeper? I’m saying that the result is not much better, apparently the audio chip is cheap. The alarm volume is not adjustable. The price for the Chinese receiver is quite biting, although fully pays for itself. There is no memory in the kit, if you please, buy it yourself.

Comment: It is quite pleased with the purchase. The device, despite the purely Chinese brand (although it seems to produce the products of the legendary Grundig under its own name), is very good, at a dacha 120 kilometers from the city, it catches flawlessly radio frequencies, and what else do you want from the radio?

Advantages: perfectly catches the radio

Disadvantages: the alarm volume is not adjusted

Comment: the sound is good, the radio catches flawlessly, the antenna reaches the moon, probably, but it was not possible to adjust the volume of the radio alarm when it is turned on - it turns on with volume 10, which is too hard to wake up.

Advantages: excellent radio reception (mainly fm is used), useful and necessary additives — clock. alarm. backlight. thermometer

Disadvantages: poor player-little functions. in the complete set could add memory

Comment: an excellent device (for its purpose). it is not necessary to demand a good sound from it — you cannot squeeze much out of such speakers, and if you put others in and pull the sound out of it better, the batteries will quickly sit down. This is a small portable machine and it responds to its purpose. good quality workmanship (like all teksanov). more than 1.5 years of hard use (I take to work on the street) at home successfully and conveniently as an alarm clock. nothing is broken and did not cause inconvenience. it is necessary to put the batteries much more convenient. e player) recommend to thoseneed a compact, comfortable, reliable sensitive radio

Advantages: Convenient display, alarm clock, good reception. Case. Self-charging battery AA,

Disadvantages: mediocre sound on speakers and headphones.

Comment: FM stereo takes quite bearable.
there is a convenient high-quality case with a headphone compartment and accessories
I have not tested them short yet, but they say that it takes them well.
the speakers sound mediocre but he himself is rather tiny ..
Headphone quality is less. MP3 plays on 4-ku but obviously not hi-fi.
Shows the temperature and time and alarm clock - with a convenient large button at the top. That is, you can use as a really comfortable clock on the bedside table)). You can do this so that the display lights at night. During the day it turns off automatically.
What else you liked - you can put AA batteries with USB charging.
For such money could make the adjustment of high and low frequencies - better speakers.

Advantages: VERY SENSITIVE! Compact, lightweight, versatile (radio alarm clock, thermometer, MP3)

Disadvantages: As a fisherman, I would like this miracle in an aluminum or titanium case! =)

Comment: I do not understand the technology of receiving "Tecsun", but this is an amazingly sensitive receiver! I live in St. Petersburg and prefer the Hermitage and Radio Rocks radio stations. I experienced a week on Sandy Island (Vuoksa river). The receiver confidently captures the FM wave with a stereo sound and it is 100 km from the radio tower! The campaign is very useful built-in thermometer and alarm clock.

Advantages: Really VHF + FM,
Digital tuning
The sound is good enough for a radio of such small size.

Disadvantages: MP3 player control on the back

Comment: When replacing batteries with batteries, there was no power for 3-4 minutes. Time is not lost.
Separately purchased adapter for built-in memory.
