Thanks Gary, that's good to know for the future (not that I am planning to do any travelling for a while, due to COVID). j

It seems I have made a great error. It was not my PL-600 but my venerable RS DX-440 which has the rubbery push buttons.that developed the gummy decomposition. I don't know if there is a membrane under

Hi John, A "supercharged" Skywave refers to a model with a 7.5 inch transplanted loopstick. This modification greatly increases MW band sensitivity compared to the stock CC Skywave, transforming the

Hi Gary, I have a CC Skywave portable radio, but I am not familiar with what a "supercharged" Skywave receiver has that I don't have. What do I need to add to my travel portable? Thanks John Fisher

I love the "Tecsun way" of tuning - I love the ETM feature on the smaller models, which basically works like "Page 0" on the bigger ones. Love that you can switch between dedicated VF/VM modes so you

I had a similar problem with the tuning knob of my Tecsun PL-660 once. It seems this happens if the set (or the knob) has not been used for a while. I turned the knob for about 15 minutes at high

I don't have a 606 but if the buttons have a rubberized coating, they deteriorate overtime and do get sticky. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol will remove the stickiness (and also the coating!). i used the

OK, sticky BUTTONS. AFAIK, I've never spilled anything on the '606 but the buttons are either hard to press or seem sticky. Have not taken it apart yet and not really afraid to, but thought I'd ask

By 310 I presume you mean the PL-310ET, which is the model currently available. I own three of the cheaper Tecsun DSP models – PL-310ET, PL-380 and PL-606. Out of the three, the PL-310ET is the
