Keeping in mind that this is a pre production version, it's not really a surprise that the AM Sync doesn't work well. It's not all that functional on the PL-880, either.

Interesting that they pre programmed some ham band ranges, but they kinda flubbed it on 60 meters - the mode should be USB. Hopefully that can be fixed in the production versions.

Still for a SSB capable ultralight, it shows some promise. When it really will become available - who knows? Mike

Interesting list of options.

Apparently the first commenter doesn't understand the difference between tuning steps and deviation.

or it could be a mis-translation from the Chinese manual to English. Hard to tell, but this little radio is beginning to look better and better...Mike

Looks like an upgrade of sorts for the 380 that I use the heck out of. ETM is very helpful when traveling and the form factor is just right. Just wish it had RDS but can't have everything I guess.

Let's hope it gets fixed in newer production units.
