Review: fun and functional - If you've owned any of the previous iterations of this slim little handheld receiver (Tecsun PL360/CountyComm GP-5 DSP, and Tecsun PL365/CountyComm GP-5 SSB) then you know what a joy it is to report that it finally has a direct entry frequency keypad to get where you need to go instantly! No more scrolling and scrolling and scrollllllling that danged thumbwheel! This feature alone is worth the purchase! This receiver line up has always been praised by users, not for being all that "great" or mind-blowing but simply for doing so much so well for something so small and simple. They are not going to outperform their larger siblings from Tecsun but these little guys have all been very good radios, especially for their size (and price point)! And now the PL368 is easily the greatest iteration of this line up, not just for the direct entry keypad (tuning around was a total pain in the thumbwheel until now!), but for other improvements over previous models, like selectable bandwidths for each mode (like 2.5, 3.5, 5 or 9kHz in AM, or 0.5, 1.2, 2.2, 3 or 4 kHz in SSB). There seems to have been some improvement in the audio chain as well. I don't know what they did (better stock speaker? better components?) but in side-by-side, direct comparisons with my PL360 and GP-5 SSB on the same signals and bandwidths the PL368 simply sounds clearer, cleaner, a bit warmer too (not as brittle or hissy). Tecsun has added synch detection but unfortunately they seem to keep missing the boat pretty badly in that department in all their models (the PL660 seems to be the lone relative success in Tecsun's synch implementation). This one's no exception -- it is overly filtered and needlessly harsh and irritating. It locks pretty well but is just kind of dirty sounding. I will not be bothering with it, and will instead use the ECSS method which I can already assure you is better than the synch by far, especially now that there are those bandwidth filter options for SSB. It offers an updated version of their popular ETM memory tuning feature, now called ETM+, which according to Tecsun "gives the possibility of setting up time-specific memories for longwave, medium wave (AM) and shortwave." I found the earlier ETM feature to be very helpful on the local MW and FM stations when traveling, but have yet to implement this ETM+ version so I can't add to that. FM is certainly on par for this receiver style, as good as the previous iterations, mono on board but stereo at the headphone out. Of course, in any mode or band, using good headphones will sound much fuller and richer than the little stock speaker. All previous versions utilized 3xAA batteries, but now it uses a thin BL-5C lithium rechargeable battery. It charges from a standard 5V/500mA USB charger. The charger is not included, by the way, but that's probably a good thing these days, as most of us have more than enough cube USB chargers laying about (generally unused most of the time) anyway. The USB to micro-USB charging cable IS included, however. How long does a charge get you in listening time? Well, I have not used the receiver enough to be very accurate on this point but I've had it powered up while learning its ins and outs as well as just listening for at least two to three hours each day the last three days, and the battery indicator on the display still reads full. I prefer replaceable rechargeable batteries but so far this little battery pack seems to be very efficient, and its use certainly makes the radio slimmer and lighter than ever. There are numerous hidden features (visit The SWLing Post and RadioJayAllen to research in detail); one of them is very handy for we who enjoy external antennas -- you can toggle between the whip antenna or the external antenna jack (used for the included little ferrite MW antenna that actually peaks and nulls as you turn it!). I almost always use that little antenna for MW listening but exploring this feature has shown me that in my area sometimes the telescopic whip antenna brings in a better signal on some MW stations at certain times than the little ferrite... so being able to switch to the whip is very helpful. I wouldn't want to plug a whole lot of antenna into this little, easily overloaded thing but being able to toggle that if I want to experiment is handy indeed. There is much more but I just want to make the point that if you already know and enjoy this style of receiver, you will definitely love this latest and greatest version (that keypad, what a gift!). If you have never tried this style receiver, well, now might be a really good time to finally take an $80 to $90 plunge and find out. At this price, in this slim little package, with all it does well (and not despite any limitations but by improved design), I think this will be a popular model when enough people discover it.
Review: Love the odd form factor and radio sensitivity. - My first night using this radio I was able to pull in stations from Cuba, Argentina, Spain and Germany from Northeastern California. It helps to use an app or website to track the best times for listening and to learn about what antenna options will work best for your target stations. The radio is very sensitive. Get the most of the radio by programming your desired stations in. Form factor is odd but great alternative to traditional form factors. Being handheld has it's advantages and it's compact size means I can drop it into my EDC bag in the morning. Battery lasts a very long time and is of course rechargeable. Eventually when the battery does need replacement, rest assured in knowing the battery is easily replaceable with cheap, readily available replacements found everywhere online. This radio has very nice features that make it a solid pick for something to carry every day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Radio to Play With
*by M***E on September 16, 2024*

Nice little radio to play around with. Reception on FM is good, the included Directional Antenna, makes AM reception better. I really haven't put it through it paces yet. Shortwave is about what you would expect from a radio this size. A random wire clipped to the built-in telescoping antenna can bring in more signals, but also bring in more noise (QRN). Listening to sideband signals can be a challenge, but the radio holds its own. I also like the fact that it charges through the USB Micro B connection. A charge lasts quite a long time in this thing. Overall, its nice little radio to have and offers good value for the price.
