Although I have become accustomed to poor quality control from Chinese products, I am looking forward to trying this on my 660 which suffers from this problem. Oh for the days of quality workmanship with Telefunken or even Sony. Incidentally, why did Sony stop making SW radios?

I have an issue that was wondering if you could comment? My PL-660 for some reason when I am on MW band, the frequency will only go up to 1620 and down to 522, I no longer have the range of 520 to 1710. Any thoughts?

My new pl680 is about 4 khz off, do I have to calibrate every radio station signal or just one and then rest of them will be all properly calibrated?

Does it retain the correction?

My 660 is 5 MHz too high on FM, sadly, it's too old to support calibration.

Thanks Mike. Is there any further news on when (or if) the reviews will be complete?

Hi Dave, very sorry but my time these days is extremely constrained. I still have these three radios, and recently added an XHDATA D-808 as well. However, I have not done much shortwave listening in the past few years at all and only bought the D-808 on its reputation and some closeout pricing. I was enthusiastically planning on reviewing those first three radios, but then also realized I am not at all an authority on shortwave. There are many others producing youtube reviews with tons more experience than I have. So my apologies, but I am honestly not sure if I'll ever review these. Best regards...

I accidentally turned on some strange mode at Tecsun680. The frequency count from 000khz appeared on the screen. I started turning the encoder - the frequency reached 100 kHz. Is this also a correction mode? I was unable to replicate my accidental clicks. I can only say for sure that my receiver does not need correction. It was perfectly tuned at the factory before shipping. No problem! Firmware 6620. Once 4 years ago, the valcoder jammed. The problem was solved in 10 minutes with the help of a micro drop of liquid "WD40" and synthetic oil. Works great.

SW & AM recalibration don’t work on my 660. I push & hold “air” as you instruct & the radio immediately goes to the air frequency. No blinking light. FM recalibration works just fine on my 660.

I have a Sangean 909X2 which is appears to be off calibration, but only on wide bandwidth. It's right on the money in narrow. No calibration method that I'm aware of. I'm wondering if this is normal operation, as it appears that the radio simply offsets the passband when going wider.
