Tecsun S-8800

The Tecsun S-8800 has been a long time coming to the Australian market so we’re very excited that Silicon Chip Magazine has featured this great new addition to our range of radios in their most recent July 2017 magazine!

S-8800 review

The Tecsun S-8800 review is on Page 57 of the July 2017 issue of Silicon Chip Magazine!

Here are some of the great things they had to say about the P-8800.

“If you live in, or go “bush” and want a radio that will let you keep listening where other radios have given up, or if you’re a city resident who wants to give DX listening a go, try the Tecsun S-8800.”

– Silicon Chip Magazine

“The S-8800 is right up there, even exceeding many higher-priced sets in its ability to not only resolve distant stations but to maintain them at an enjoyable level.”

– Silicon Chip Magazine

“The shortwave section covers just above the broadcast band (1.711MHz) through to almost 30MHz (actually 29.999MHz and with its single sideband plus AM reception, along with fine tuning, you’ll be pulling in stations that you didn’t know existed!”

– Silicon Chip Magazine

And the Silicon Chip team aren’t the only ones excited about this great new addition to the Tecsun family of radios. Here you can read Garry Cratt’s full review here, and watch the video demonstration!

 “Although the frequency range is stated as 520-1620kHz (when the receiver is set to 9kHz spacing), it can be extended by setting the receiver to 10kHz spacing and then it will be possible to tune 520-1710kHz. By using slow tuning steps (1kHz), and station can be tuned.”

– Radio expert Garry Cratt (VK2YBX)

The S-8800 was featured and reviewed in Silicon Chip Magazine alongside the new Tecsun D-008 DAB+ Digital Radio!

The Tecsun S-8800 High Performance AM/FM Radio has been designed to provide maximum performance on the AM (MW) bands, allowing listeners to receive fringe AM radio stations with unmatched audio clarity.

The Tecsun S-8800 is the only radio in the Tecsun range to provide an infrared remote control in the kit. An absolute luxury for the user as all functions are able to be controlled by the remote. The remote uses standard AAA batteries to make using the remote hassle-free and cheap when it needs recharging.

The Tecsun S-8800 is available and in stock now, right in time for Father’s Day! Find out what else is new for Father’s Day!

“For keen shortwave listeners, you’ll notice the difference in the PL680.”

– Silicon Chip Magazine

And the Silicon Chip team aren’t the only ones excited about the upgrades. Here are just a few other reviews the PL680 has received:

“Worth the upgrade.”

“Tecsun certainly gives you a lot of bang for your buck.”

Chris Freitas, On Radio Blog

The PL680 was featured and reviewed in Silicon Chip Magazine alongside the new Tecsun PL365 giving two of our most popular portable receivers a major makeover, making them even better value for money.

The PL680 radio with VHF Air Band is a great radio for communications enthusiasts with the radio providing excellent reception to all of the major frequency bands including AM/MW, FM, Shortwave with SSB, Longwave, and VHF Air Band.

The Tecsun PL365 is the only radio in the Tecsun range (apart from the Tecsun S2000 Desktop Radio) to provide an external antenna connection for the AM/MW band. The Tecsun PL365 Radio is an ideal radio to use for AM/MW EMI surveys because of its external AM antenna, ability to accept customised antennas and display showing signal strength in dBuV.

Both radios are available and in stock now, right in time for Christmas.

Our Tecsun PL880 Radio was reviewed in December 2014’s Silicon Chip Magazine.

 Here are just a few of the things they had to say about it:

“Top marks to Tecsun!”

“Features and performance which far exceed those of the smaller cousins.”

“It’s a good looking radio, it’s a great sounding radio and it has every feature you could possibly want (and then some). In fact, in the time we had to play with it, we reckon we just scratched the surface of what it can do. And even then, it was impressive, to say the least.”

“If you want a radio that offers exceptional performance and a great range of ‘creature comforts’, you can’t go past the Tecsun PL880 radio.”

We had a bit of a play around with the PL880 radio today too!
