Description
World band radio with PLL AM/FM/LW/SW Tecsun PL-360. The PL-360 is equipped with the new integrated DSP si4734 for digital demodulation of analog AM/FM broadcast signals, which significantly enhances the radio's sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio, and anti-interference capabilities.
The PL-360 is also equipped with Easy Tuning Mode (ETM), Tecsun's ideal tuning method. ETM provides the user with the ability to automatically scan for new radio stations without replacing stations already stored in the radio's memory. ETM is an ideal feature for users who listen to radio broadcasts in different locations.
Also worth mentioning is the excellent reception capability in AM thanks to the included ferrite antenna.
- FM frequency range: 76 - 108 MHz
- MW (AM) selection range: 522 - 1620 kHz (9 kHz steps)
- 520 - 1710 kHz (1 kHz steps)

Reviews
Personally, I wanted something portable for medium wave and I wasn't disappointed.
In FM, it's one click below, it doesn't catch the Italians well with weak signals. For the best FM performance, look at the pl-310et / pl-380 models, they cost a little more.
Attention... It doesn't have a problem with local stations (without the additional antenna) and I'm in a difficult area. But if you want to catch the slightest DX signal, look at the above models that are better in FM.
It also has an extra antenna cable with a clip that greatly improves the performance of FM/SW, so don't hesitate to buy it even if you want a radio for FM and to have it all.In LW, even with the external ferrite, it only catches half as much as a €10 radio like the Eltra Olga, but this one only has LW and maybe it's designed exclusively for LW.
Here, because it takes an external antenna for MW/LW, I believe that with a long cable (10-50m) it will do the job. If you want to receive long-distance stations, but be aware that in LW there are few stations and they constantly shut down, so I don't think it's worth bothering with.In SW, it's quite good (without using the additional antenna), I would say it's comparable to the expensive models from the same company (pl-660/880).
In MW, without the external antenna, it catches quite a few stations. From Corfu 1008 (local) to 729 from Athens, Greek amateurs (here the nighttime propagation plays a role, like with all portable radios).
If we add the external ferrite, it becomes almost like the expensive pl-660/680 models, in general, the medium wave performance improves significantly.The thermometer is accurate, simply if you constantly hold it in your hand (scanning, changing settings, etc.), it's natural for it to show 1-3 degrees higher (depending on the season) because the plastic case heats up and it detects it.
The batteries last a long time, with Sony 1900mAh rechargeables (I charge them elsewhere, not from the radio), from 3 pm when I got it until 4 am (on/off, scanning, volume up/down, constantly changing settings, etc.), and the battery indicator didn't go down at all. If I do the same with another small portable digital radio, the same batteries won't last more than 3-5 hours.
I would recommend if you use rechargeable batteries and charge them through the pl-360, don't get more than 1000-1300mAh (each) because the small built-in charger it has will struggle.The speaker is a little bigger than a water bottle cap, it's not suitable for bass/treble, but for speech it's clear and loud for its size. With headphones, it's better and stereo.
I believe it's a good value for the money because it has almost a complete full world band, fine tuning on all bands (e.g. 1 kHz on MW & FM), light, many settings, many station memories, and it comes from a Greek store with a protective case, USB charging cable, additional cable with clip for better FM/SW reception, external MW antenna, headphones, and belt clip.
The drawback I find is that it doesn't have numbers to go directly to a specific frequency, you have to first store some stations in the memory (either from the ETM that automatically finds stations or manually), and from there it's better to go from the lower frequencies to the higher ones

Did you find this review helpful?The four stars are for the price alone because it seems excessively expensive to me, 60 euros for a Chinese radio.
Otherwise, it has very good reception for the available shortwave and medium wave stations. I recommend listening with headphones because with such a small speaker, you won't understand much. The performance of the FM stereo is amazing, which is why I connect it to my stereo system as a tuner deck.
It plays continuously for days with regular batteries. A big advantage is that it is also a battery charger.
It has a light for nighttime listening and a reliable thermometer. Its size is smaller than a remote control.
With a pair of quality headphones, you will enjoy it. Internet radio is good, but terrestrial radio has a different magic, especially when you listen to the whole world.
Note: Shortwave and medium wave only at night.Translated from Greek ·- Signal quality
