Tecsun New Tecsun PL-520

What’s up with the Tecsun PL-520? First new radio from a “name“ brand in awhile. Anyone have one yet?

I have just received one and will provide my thoughts here -- first thing I notice is the need to double tap/press when switching from LSB to USB etc to recalibrate but not sure whether this was the case with the 330

Are these actually for sale yet or are they just sending out copies to reviewers

I believe these are/were available already via Ali or Banggood -- review copies are going out to reviewers

Of course it is, do you really think they're going to send out free radios for nothing!

I recently ordered one off ebay described as an "export version" which, according to anon-co, is meant for the export market outside of China. It comes with an English user manual and FCC certification.
