Tecsun PL-380 DSP

Tecsun PL-380 DSP Survey Receiver

The Tecsun PL-380 is a portable receiver equipped with DSP (Digital Signal Processing).
It uses si4734 DSP microchips (from Silicon Labs in the U.S.) to digitize the analog MW/FM/SW signal base
using modern software technologies and radio principles. It significantly improves sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio, and interference rejection.


The PL-380 features an Easy Tuning Mode (ETM), Tecsun’s proprietary tuning method. The ETM feature allows users to automatically scan for new radio stations without overwriting stations already stored in the radio’s memory.
ETM is an ideal feature for users who listen to radio broadcasts in various locations.
