Subject: Re: swl radio with keypad entry
I'm curious to know if anyone's played with the Tecsun PL-660. While it =
has a keypad, I have no idea of how blind user friendly it is. However, =
for $120 at the high end, $110 or so on eBay after shipping, with air =
band and a sync detector, it doesn't sound half bad.
