Tecsun S-8800

The Tecsun S-8800 is a High Performance AM/FM radio is the latest radio (2017) designed by Tecsun and this radio is definitely worth the wait. The Tecsun S-8800 High Performance AM/FM radio is designed to deliver maximum performance on the AM (MW) bands, allowing listeners to receive AM radio stations with unlimited sound clarity.

Tecsun world receiver with remote control

The most obvious new designation of the Tecsun S-8800 is the infrared remote control. Because Tecsun has included the infrared control in this model you can place the Tecsun S-8800 in a good position so that the reception is optimal and you can easily operate the S-8800 world receiver with the remote control (Including frequency, display (change between frequency of time), memory (store or recall frequencies), tuning, VF / VM modes, scan, mode (AM, FM (mono or stereo) USB or LSB, bands (AM, FM or shortwave, 9 / 10kHz setting for MW, AM bandwidth , and a keypad to allow direct access of frequencies.

Listening time by Lithium-ion batteries

Tecsun has taken advantage of recent developments in lithium-ion batteries in the S-8800, using Tecsun S-8800-18650 cells to greatly increase listening time.

Performance and tires on the Tecsun S-8800

The Tecsun S-8800 is not limited to AM reception but also offers excellent performance on FM and Shortwave (SW) bands including Single Side Band (SSB). The Tecsun S-8800 can be connected to an external antenna to improve the performance on AM, FM and shortwave bands.

New features on the Tecsun S-8800

There are many new features added to the Tecsun S-8800 including those found on most Tecsun world receivers such as clock, timer, snooze and alarms. A total of 650 stations can be stored in memory across all bands (there are limits for each band) and recalled in real time or at a future time. There are also the usual store, recall and delete memory functions with simultaneous automatic deletion handy for deleting duplicate frequencies.

The Tecsun S-8800 offers frequency "surfing", similar to the ETM function found on small portable world receivers such as the Tecsun PL-310ET and Tecsun PL-365, plus semi-automatic storage (the receiver stops when a signal is found and you have 4 seconds to store it). The Tecsun S-8800 also has ATS (Auto Tuning Storage) which allows the receiver to store each signal. By using the supplied remote control you can perform these actions simply and easily.

DX / Local switch

To avoid signal overload, the receiver has the “DX/Local” switch.

Like all things computer controlled world receivers sometimes get confused. To secure this there is a reset switch hidden under the main knob. If you pull the knob out you can see it. You need a small pointed tool (e.g. paperclip)
