Tecsun PL-368 Orange

The PL-368 from Tecsun is the latest PLL DSP multiband world receiver with SSB and synchronous detection. This world receiver has the new ETM+ function from Tecsun, which offers the option of setting time-specific memories for long wave (LW), medium wave (AM) and short wave (SW).

The vertical design is reminiscent of the PL-360 and PL-365, but now also offers a keyboard for practical direct frequency selection. However, unlike its predecessors that use 3 x AA batteries, the PL-368 is discovered by 1 x BL-5C lithium battery. The battery can be charged by connecting the radio to a 5V USB charger (not included), one similar to that used for most smartphones and tablets.

Features Tecsun PL-368

• Friendly interface with simple controls
• Can receive FM stereo, medium wave, short wave, single sideband (SSB).
• Adopt modern DSP digital demodulation technology to improve listening sensitivity, selectivity, signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference ability
• FM reception 64 - 108MHz, suitable for global FM broadcast reception
• Shortwave single sideband (SSB) minimum step 10Hz, in addition sideband (USB) and lower sideband (LSB) are received independently
• Apply synchronous detection technology to suppress channel interference
• 7 ways to select channels: convenient tuning (ETM+), automatic search and browse radio frequency, automatic search and browse saved radio stations, manual search radio frequency (VF), manual search saved radio stations (VM), direct input of frequency numbers, direct input of stored radio station address number
• Improved convenient tuning (ETM+), ETM is carried out in the unit of hour for short wave and 6 periods for medium wave, which is more convenient for determination
• It can store up to 850 radio frequencies manually, semi-automatically and fully automatically (ATS), of which 100 frequency points for FM/long wave/single sideband/synchronous detection are stored, 150 for medium wave, and 300 for short wave
• Multi-function display: It can display the working status of radio frequency, electric field strength, signal to noise ratio, temperature, battery capacity, etc.
• Adopt high quality and high sensitivity speakers, nice sound, you can use headphones to hear FM stereo
• With broadcast timing automatic power-on function
• Very user-friendly switch function: you can set automatic shutdown after 1-120 minutes after final or cancel automatic shutdown function
