Dislike the video? Hell no, I like the video 👍, and i like you too!
Congrats on the PL-680! I'm shure you will have a lot of fun with it! 73!
Yeah... I've done some tests on the ham radio bands and I'ts very good!
Nice first look of your new portable. I look forward to your videos with this new addition. 73s & good DXing!
mutezone Thanks for your comment and for sharing the video! 73's
A very nice video. Thank you for making it.
Good review. I'm almost fell in love PL-680. & My thumbs Up..
Yeah... The radio is very good! Used last weekend.
The radio arrived today. Having used it for a couple of hours I think that I owe you a beer for recommending this excellent receiver. Cheers, G6XYZ
Thank you Sergio
Eventually I would like to own a PL-680. It looks like a nice portable sw radio.
Yes, it is! For me is the best all around radio for DXing. Of course it doesn't exist the perfect radio, but this radio is the most that approximate to be the perfect. And also the best cost/benefit. For me if I need to choose to own only 1 radio, I will choose the Tecsun PL-680.
Many thanks for the video. I ordered one today based largely on your recommendation. I already have too many receivers Icom R9500, Icom R8600,JRC NRD 515 and 525 and a Yaesu FRG 7700 but I want a small receiver to take on trips both abroad and days out. 73s de G6XYZ
Anthony Ryan You won't regret it! Many thanks... 73
Sérgio, muito bom o seu vídeo. Very good you video, Sucess and God bless.
Nice
Do you think the 680 has a better speaker than the 660 and does it perform better on fm?
1. Does 3 AA batteries go in?
2. Can you turn off the power completely?
Very nice radio you have. Please let us know how you find the performance of this radio in future videos.
TheRadiogeek Yes, I already planned to make a comparison and a review of this radio. I want to do an in-depth review so I do want to test the radio properly and then make the video.
Parabéns pelo video, boa apresentação
Obrigado! Tenha um resto de um bom dia!
Very interesting Sergio - could you write the name of the seller as I cannot understand it. many thanks and looking forward to xyour reviews specially the air band
I bought it here: www.anon-co.com/
Thanks for your comment
just to let u know, short and middle wave don't use the external antenna, they use built inside coil. The outside one is mainly used for FM.
For SW external antenna
Interested in a video tuning shortwave frequencies...thanks
***** Can you be more specific? Do you want to make a video tuning the shortwave band showing what you can hear in those frequencies?
Sérgio Pimenta Yes, thanks
***** OK I will make a video
***** Thank you very much for your kind words! I promise I will make more detailed videos
***** Just to say I still don't forget your requested video! Will come tomorrow 14 July!
Is this Radio better then the PL 660?
if you already have a PL-660 is not worth the upgrade, but the PL-680 is better
At 2:56, the captions read "the shower is with blood for Europe very well peace Rica"...um...ok?
are these chargeable batteries mah???
Khan'S CZcams khan Yes they are... Rated at 1000 mAh
سڵاو ئەو تکسەنە رادیۆ ٦٨٠ ییە ؟٦٦٠ نییە
_The radio is super good, only you know little about shortwave frequencies._
Porquê fazer o vídeo em inglês ???
Para todo o mundo perceber
Hey sir, i have a BIG problem with my tecsun pl-680, when i turn the tuning knob, some times it goes reverse on the screen, any advice? 🥺 thank you sir.
_You lack the knowledge to search for a short wave. With a high-end radio, it is not necessary to pull out the telescopic antenna._
You're right, I need an external wire antenna
