The Tecsun PL-330 is a pocket-sized mini-receiver that offers surprising quality combined with excellent SSB functionality. This feature, like direct frequency input, makes the PL-330 the ideal receiver for those who want to listen to shortwave radio service stations, amateur radio transmissions, and regular shortwave broadcasts. The Tecsun PL-330 is powered by a 1000 mAh BL-5C lithium-ion battery, which offers up to 24 hours of continuous operation. The Tecsun PL-330 is the first receiver to offer ETM+, a scanning feature that populates 24 specific temporary memories based on the time of day the signal was received. For example, stations stored between 0900 and 0950 will be saved to E09 memory. Using this system, it is possible to create an individual ETM memory for each hour of the day. By pressing the ETM button once the initial frequencies are stored, it automatically selects the previously stored frequencies at that time of day. The Tecsun PL-330 also features AM synchronous detection of shortwave bands, a feature rarely found on such a small receiver. This receiver offers up to 9 user-selectable bandwidth settings (depending on the selected reception mode), allowing the user to customize performance based on band conditions. In SSB mode, the minimum frequency increment is 10Hz, ensuring that SSB signals are always intelligible. allowing the user to customize performance based on band conditions. In SSB mode, the minimum frequency increment is 10Hz, ensuring that SSB signals are always intelligible. allowing the user to customize performance based on band conditions. In SSB mode, the minimum frequency increment is 10Hz, ensuring that SSB signals are always intelligible.
For shortwave listeners, a simple press of the arrow button will cycle the receiver through all assigned shortwave bands. Similarly, in SSB mode, pressing the arrow button will cycle through all assigned amateur radio bands. Tecsun has listened to shortwave listeners' requests and implemented the On/Off backlight function where the LCD backlight can be selected to be always on or always off. This is a great feature for night listeners.
