Well you're going to have to make a few decisions as to which radio you buy, all Tecsun radio sets have pros and cons. The Synchronus detection is better on the PL-660 however sideband is far better on the PL880. On the PL-880 Sideband can be tuned in steps of 10KHZ which makes for very accurate recognition of signals whereas with the PL-660 you have to use a BFO control which drifts and requires fine adjustment, in other words its the sort of thing one wouldn't expect on a modern radio of today, something you found on radios 40 years ago. Even though the PL-660 has the better sync I'd still go and buy the Tecsun PL-880 or even consider the new Tecsun S-8800. Both the PL-880 and S-880 have far better sound than the Tecsun PL-660. The S-8800 has - overall - better sensitivity on all bands than any other Tecsun radio I've tried. Sideband on the S-8800 has the same sort of tuning as found on the PL-880. Tuning on the S-8800 is silky smooth with that perfect "analogue tuning" feel, the S-8800 comes with a handy remote control which controls most functions. The manual for the S-8800 is very well written.
