- I purchased PL990X from Anon-co
$235.00 include Fedex shipment and took 3 days to Korea from Ware house at HongKong
Tecsun PL990X official lunch date : 20th Sep 2020
PL990 and Pl990x has difference at tuning step and range
LW signal leakage only observed when external antenna is heavily overloaded. This can be blocked mostly with simply change antenna selection to External. If sill bleed, antenna gain control managed rest of portion. There must be high static condition when this video is recorded
I picked up the PL-990x last week, great radio, paid $242 shipped at Anon-Co. could’ve bought the PL-909 for $169 new off of eBay but figured the “X” version was a better option, glad I went that way. I still enjoy the Sangean ATS-909x2 though but, it’s a great radio to add to the collection.
Another great ASMR unboxing. This radio looks and sounds great; however, I cannot do non-standard batteries. I wish SW radio mfgs would use a 12v standard so I can use the same external battery sources I do for my ham radios.
hi. great and encouraging video. I just bought it. But I would like a big favor from him. Would it be possible to make a very explanatory video about the external antenna you use on your PL 990 x? I want to have one too.
Very good review, shows the full operation on aerial and external antenna = I'm just amazed that other reviews did nit try the ATS on FM nor mention the line out for recording!
I REALLY like the no static on this Radio on stronger signals . Super clear . Also the speaker sounds closer to the bigger speaker on PL880. Some have said 880 has better speaker . You have a very nice version of PL 990 !
PL990 outperform all radios I have. Wished there was VHF circuitry
Really excellent radio unboxing video.
Where did you buy the adapter to fit the external antenna jack?
It's a very big radio receiver and it gets quite well. I have a chance to review the XHDATA D-808 as well.
How is it compared with Grundig yb400pe or Sony ICF sw55 or sw7600g?
very good sound,amazing
990 has a more natural, relaxed sound than 880... less fatiguing.
Why have you pointed out that this is NOT a review of the Tecsun PL-990 ? They are identical, the only difference being the tuning steps outside the USA.
As a person who just purchased the 8800 2 months ago. I have one question, is the 9900x worth the costs?
for reception, your new rig would perform better from its bigger form factor. but for table top&hand held class, 990X would worth cost I suggest
Instead of providing mp3 player capability, tecsun should put bluetooth speaker function to their radios!
It does.
sad to see this at LW with the PL-990 ... same issue with my PL-360 (but is way cheaper) ... once i connect external antenna (only for MW/LW) at pl-360, other ghost stations kicks in, which should not exist (at blank freqs) ... however the freqs with the correct LW radio stations are fine ... just at LW some freqs appearing ghost stations with external antenna ... still thinking positive for the 990 because at LW many other branded radios have issues there ... EDIT the tuning beep appears and at my pl-360 in some cases ... and by the way thanks for sharing the video at 4K as well
Thank you. For more days of usage. signal leakage only appears when external antenna is connected. Yes. Tuning beep also observed at my PL330 too...
Я думал взять 880... Потом передумал и взял h501... он лучший
Wow, haven’t heard AFN for quite a while now.
Did you weigh
the PL-880 with batteries vs the PL-990X without batteries?
my bad. yes. weight measure was conducted in wrong way.
Good afternoon! Thank you very much for your review. A very good radio. Can you tell me what is the hole to the right of the power button? It looks like a microphone. Or I'm wrong?
Yes it is. Microphone is used when you pair it with Bluetooth with your phone or PC. Or it is also used when you connect the receiver via USB to your PC. When connected it is used as an external sound card.
What’s the difference in pl 990x vs pl 990 I will appreciate your reply thank you
Versão X é internacional a outra é chinesa
Very useful your information. 73 from Mexico!
Thanks. 73!
I am interested to see if the PL990X with an external antenna or AM loop is a good DXer for AM Broadcasts ( including listening to them - not just audible but listenable ) .
And also the FM - more practically - listening to a larger number of stations where they may have interesting Music or Programming.
Sorry to say. Korea is shutting down AM stations and only few left. I will try AM dxing when I have change but would not be good example since only few stations can be picked up. Will try!. FM demo, I can do that.
@@kor_dxer5532 OK thank you ! I like your videos and am curious about PL 990 . I hope they can fix the SYNC - do you think they will ?
@@robertscorpio8432 I have not tested SYNC yet and dont expect that much since I do not use often. Also did not had much chance to dxing adjacent frequency. But from other youtuber, it is still horrible as PL880..
@@kor_dxer5532 Thanks for the response . I did notice that your 990X seems to have lower noise floor than PL 880 - on most broadcast . Is this correct ? Seems better shielded .
The best radio
Thank you for video. Like. Does it have "soft mute"?
No, it hasn't, becaust it is a top-level radio. By the way, the same is with a new Qodosen SR-286.
👍 👍 Vwry intresting video.
I have discovered a major issue with the 990x on SSB on the higher bands. Example tune to some SSB speech on 27.385 Mhz LSB or USB horrible DSP Warbling / wobble not to be confused with AGC issue on the oscillator seems to be the whole top end of the band on SSB rendering SSB useless possibly 25 to 29 MHZ however AM seems ok. Going to be a whole lot of disappointment owner's when the solar cycle comes up opening the top bands. I Believe this was an issue with some early 880's
Can you please leave the text up longer. I can’t read it fast enough.
For that kind of money i would expect a remote control.
O 990x é muito superior ao 330 ?
Difference between 990x and 330 is like to compare sky and ground
@@Not_SatoruGojoé tão ruim assim ?
@@sidneycavalcant 330 is not bad, it's just very nice low-budget receiver. 990x is just something premium and high-quality.
Does anyone know the difference between the PL-990 & PL-990X?
X version has more quality internals and LW starts from 50 KHz instead of 100
Do pls comparissions with 880
Very nice 👍, is it worth the price tag?
Please the pl 880 or pl 990x is better ?
And what is the diffrent between pl 330 and pl 990x?????
Thank you
990x is better. It is much superior over 330, it has optical smooth encoders instead of rough mechanical in 330, it has triple IF transformation (330 has no IF at all), so receiving quality and sensitivity is way much better, and no noisy interruptions with clicking sounds when scrolling and changing frequency. It also has fine tune knob, sdcard player, Bluetooth and PC external sound card features.
does anyeone has any problem with potentiometer volume cracks?
There are some typo when switching tone control between 'Bass' and 'Treble'
Bass and treble .Are they reversed ?
@@robertscorpio8432 not correctly written. diffrence is significant just by hearing it. sorry again for typo
bass written as bass but treble also written as bass
@@robertscorpio8432 you just can change to one or the other ... radio will use either treble or bass depending which mode you want to swap via the side button
@@kor_dxer5532 Ah OK on the PL880 there is little difference between Bass and Treble - but PL990 has larger difference - so for music Bass ...for DX or SW SSB probably bright is better - correct ? Some also say PL 880 gets too muddy on bass setting - have never tried 880.
Ótimo reviw. 73!
Good evening, does this device has air band? Thank you in advance...
Nope. Pl990 does not support airband
Wow
what is the maximum capacity of an SD card that we can put in this radio? Thanks
max 128GB according to annon-co
@@kor_dxer5532 thanks
Bleed though on Long Wave I hear. Try 15 MHz & 20 MHz also it's WWV & WWVH time also best during daytime.
unfortunate that Seoul Korea is full of RF noise. nothing received. will try at open area like seashore when have a chance!
@@kor_dxer5532 get a shielded magnetic loop.
no manual word map I am returning it back
Can the pl990 use 18650 Flat Top Battery?thanks
yes. im using both flat top and non flattop
hello where can you order now?
hi. its from www.anon-co.com and sold out at this point of time.
Price?
What the difference between 990 &990x
990X is official release. 990 too but less features and find it is not distributed by anon-co
Carnivorous radio. 😂
Typical Tecsun box, I guess. Radio still a little bit off my price range.
For $250 US I want the SYNC to work ...they may do firmware update , for SYNC , via memory card input ( ?) .
@@robertscorpio8432 acredito que não !
works in asia pls give mobil
구매랑크좀 알려주세요
Over Priced!
lets see. compare to lousy agc on pl880. price isnt that much diffrent.
@@kor_dxer5532 is the agc problem from the 880 gone in the 990?
@@babaadv2023 So far, yes. but this dynamic noise reduction fades out signal al lot. so i turned it off
I want Tecsun to improve the SYNC maybe a firmware update -
@@robertscorpio8432 that and selectivity. Whenever you multiply the frequency of local MW stations by 2 or 3 and tune that you can still hear them on the Tecsuns and Degen. Never had that problem on my Sony radios. Not to mention the Sync on tecsuns, even on the 660 is practically deaf in comparison. That said I really like the clean DSP and loud crip speaker of the 990x.
You Dummy , ( just kidding) , you are using an external antenna but have the antenna switch set to internal !!
