I myself can't comment personally as I don't have one however those I know who do who have both radios say that they're delighted to use both of them, the Sangean is better at receiving long distance stations even though the quality of the audio isn't quite as good.
FM for both is about the same. SW for both is not, the PLL880 is hotter though it has some software issues that need to be worked on, the synchronus Detection of the PLL880 doesn't work properly etc. On 25 Mar 2014, at 10:56 am, cov...@ccs.covici.com wrote: > I wonder what you think of this radio in comparison with the Sangeen > ats909-x? > > Dane Trethowan <grtd...@internode.on.net> wrote: > >> Hi! >> >> I sent a review of this radio to the list earlier on today.
