Okay. I've heard reputation of the PL-380 in its excellent performance, but I don't want a PLL-tuned radio, sinch such kind of radio consumes much more than analogue one. I think a decent analogue set other than a PLL set will be more helpful in an emergency situation in terms of battery consumption. That's why PLL radios like Sony ICF-SW7600GR, Tecsun PL-660, PL-380, PL-210 etc are not included in my list of purchase consideration.
