I decided to give an order to HKequipment for my PL-310. I was attracted to
the slightly lower total price with shipping, than some Ebay Stores, and more
impressed by it coming with SANYO Enloop slow self discharging batteries,
which I really like for my multitude of small radios and LED lights, because
they do not run dead with occasional use, and with hundreds of radio and
dozens of small LED lamps and flashlights, it is my biggest annoyance of using
rechargeable cells.
The SANYO AA cells are clearly marked as being made in
Japan, as they should be. The label is printed slightly different that other
Enloop cells I have purchased recently though. They arrived fully charged
which is normal, and work fine in the radio. They show a full charge on the
meter in the PL-310's display too.
I placed my order on March 24th, and
the radio arrived today, April 6th on the East coast of the USA. It was
shipped in a padded mailer, with 5 or 6 layers of thin bubble wrap, each taped
securely, around the box, and more inside too.
So I have no complaints at
all. - FARMERIK
