I just got an email from Universal Radio that this radio may be available late next month. The Al-Anon site is saying November 12.
Stay tuned....Mike

No kidding. I would rather spend half and get the 880. My buddy has the 880 and loves it. Would you say the 880 is worth picking up if I wanted to listen to shortwave?$270! Man, there is no way I would pay that much when there are other decent portables for about half as much.
I appreciate that Tecsun is still producing portables. I own the 880 and 600. SSB leaves a lot to be desired but their AM (BCB and SW) and FM reception is great.

Hi N9JCQ,Engine104, adjust the gain switch from DX to normal and see if that makes a difference.
Well how cool is that?? Yeah my PL-660 is not as good as my Drake TR7. Still I like it to listen to QSOs like youi do.Hi N9JCQ,
That doesn't help much with SSB, but it does with MW and the more powerful SW stations. Like anything else, it depends on band conditions. Last night, I was able to copy QSOs on 80m and 40m without much of a problem. I really like the radio. I just need to stop ccomparing it to my ham rig.
BTW: My son moved to your area several years ago to teach. We've been to the Lou Malnati's in Buffalo Grove many times
