Hi Gary, I guess I would have bought a PL-380
anyway because I've so many good things about it as an MW dxer but the manual
tuning is quite a issue for me. I don't seem to able to get it to move
any less that two or three stops at a time that is it jumps from 580 to 600 or
610 when I rotate the tuning wheel quickly, I guess I can always use the keypad
for tuning but that gets old very quickly. I have not done any MW listening yet,
trying to get to know the features, but it seems to be an outstanding FM
receiver even on the speaker the tone is surprisingly good and its very good on
the headphones and what an array of features in such a small package,
remarkable.
