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

in 64GB it is slow ... if you want it only to put files inside as a backup or to have them when needed, for example after a PC format, etc ... it is OK, a cheap solution for occasional use

Κανει για mac & windows αλλα πρεπει να καταβασετε τα αναλογα drivers απο την ferguson και να μπουν αυτα πρωτα πριν βαλετε το στικακι στη usb θυρα
Σε ferguson δεκτες ειναι ειναι αλλιως, ειναι plag & play
Eγω το πηρα για τον δεκτη ferguson ariva t760i που ειναι συμβατος
Aμεσως το διαβασε χωρις να θελει τιποτα αλλο, μονο 30 δευτερα να βαλω τα κλειδια και ειναι ετοιμος
Kαλη ληψη σηματος (παιζει ρολο που εχει κεραια εξωτερικη) και ολα στο internet service του δεκτη παιζουν ανετα και γργορα
Εχει και μικρο ledακι και η κεραια γυριζει αριστερα,δεξια,πανω,καθετα ... ΑΞΙΟ σε εμενα

Κατα εμενα πολυ καλες ολες οι σειρες engel των max44-50 μοντελων
Στο συγκεκριμενο μοντελο μεγαλος παραβολικος αντανακλαστηρας (οι αντανακλαστηρες δεν ειναι επιπεδοι, εχουν μικρο κυλωμα) αν νομιζετε παιζει τον ρολο του (σιγουρα κατι βοηθαει)
Σε σημειο που δεν περναει παντα σημα (κατω απο το βουνο τρουμπετας, η digea δεν εχει την περιοχη στο χωριο με χρωμα για ληψη) πιανει αρκετα καλα σε σχεση με αλλη που ειχα, ακομα (περιπου) κατα 30 μοιρες δεξια και αριστερα της ... πχ η κεραια κοιταζει παντοκρατορα (κερκυρα) και πιανω απο δεξια το klan tv (εξαμιλια) και αριστερα το rtsh αλβανιας (αγ. σαραντα) απο την μερια αγ. σαραντα το βουνο ειναι ακομα λιγο πιο ψηλο
Επισης απο αντανακλαση πιανει και Ακαρνανικα (ακομα πιο δεξια απο το klan tv) καποιες φορες που περναει σημα εδω χαμηλα
Ειμαι σχεδον σιγουρος οτι δουλευει καλα και απο αντανακλασεις και πιστευω στις πιο μεγαλες συχνοτητες παει λιγο καλυτερα, επισης νομιζω παιζει μεγαλο ρολο σε αυτην και το πανω κατω (δοκιμαστε και αυτο)
Με ενα καλο ενισχυτη θα κανει δουλεια, αλλα πιστευω στον ενισχυτη εκει θελει αλλο ψαξιμο, πχ καποιος με <4 db θορυβο σε δυσκολες περιοχες

Worth it from me... software 1.3.09

I am in an area with poor signal, which means that sometimes all channels except ERT (the best signal in my area) are lost.

It captures much better than the prime hd when the signal is low. The Albanian channel, Klan TV, comes in very clear without any squares or sound cuts compared to the previous one (the prime hd had large squares where you couldn't see what was happening and the sound had interruptions in a weak signal).

Also, (the antenna is towards Pantokratoras Kerkyra, but sometimes it also captures from Akarnanika without turning) while the prime hd, after scanning, did not save one of the two frequencies from the two transmitters (Pantokratoras/Akarnanika), the Proton does not have such an issue, and both are there, bingo.

It automatically detects any changes in the channels without any problems. For example, when ERT HD changed to ERT Sports, it automatically detected the new change in a split second.

Many settings for the receiver part... good picture and brightness adjustment, fast channel switching. Sometimes the control takes a while to change channels, as if they were stuck, but it's a minor issue.

There is a go-to function in the media player using the page up/down button, which takes the movie to any desired point.

It has never frozen as a processor, even with frequent channel changes, playing with USB, scanning (I did a lot at the beginning), and switching between all of them, they always change quickly/exit, etc. It's on almost all day and night during the first few days I got it.

It slightly raises the temperature (in summer), and since I don't always turn on the air conditioning, the room sometimes reaches 33 degrees (with heatwaves). I have removed some of the stickers inside the box and stuck four caps from green cola (black) together underneath it. I have raised it quite high for better ventilation (the only holes for air intake are at the bottom). This is a precautionary measure, but I do it with routers, etc. as well.

USB played my AC3 files that I had on a USB stick, and all the small files in .mts, .ts format that I had from the previous one. However, it seemed to put them in a different order (there were many, and I don't remember exactly, but I think it had them in a different order. It doesn't bother me that much, I just mention it).

A negative aspect for me is that in a new scan, it loses the channel order (where I had put the Akarnanika channels towards the end). But if I do a USB backup and use the saved channel list, it's okay again.

I imagine the same applies to the Proton T265 LED, since the only difference between them is the LED/numbers in front.

EDIT 25/3/19

I tried the media player... In the end, it plays many files. It played all the MP4 files (I had previously mentioned that it didn't play all of them), but IF there are subtitles, it requires UTF-8 encoding... otherwise, it cuts off the entire movie during loading and says "Unsupported file," and sometimes it played some subtitles and sometimes not... it was the subtitles.

It also played an FLV file, which is not mentioned in the prospectus. Well done for that because I have a few of those movies that I had downloaded from the internet a long time ago.

The ebook is not really an ebook, more like a simple notepad... Advertising an ebook, I thought it would have some file (e.g. epub, which is well-known) that reads and displays photos, but no, it only plays txt files like Notepad.

In terms of reception, it is very good, about 10-20% better in sensitivity than the other 3 I have.

The EPG is very good and reliable, with many options inside on how the EPG will appear, and there is no need to switch to another channel to see the program of someone else. With the channel we are already watching, we can check what is available on the others in detail

Πολυ καλο σε ληψη και στα fm & dab, καλη μεγαλη κεραια, το δοκιμασα βορεια Κερκυρα στο Dab Italia (περιπου 220χιλ αποσταση) και στη περιοχη που πηγα επιανε παντου ψηλα χαμηλα, σε σχεση με ενα αλλο (αλλα πιο μικρο) που επιανε μονο απο το κεφαλι και επανω και σε σημεια
Ο ηχος καθαρος, ομως στο 3 και κατω κανει ενα πολυ μικρο φυσημα που δεν ειναι ενοχλητικο, απλα το αναφερω
Το ηχειο του για τοσο μεγαλο το περιμενα πιο δυνατο, αλλα και παλι ειναι ικανοποιητικο και προ παντως καθαρο
Το equalizer δεν κανει μεγαλη διαφορα ομως κατι ειναι παρα τιποτα, σε ομιλια κατι γινεται και δινει ενα ελαχιστο μπασο
Το ξυπνητηρι δεν παιζει με μπαταρια, μονο οταν ειναι στη πριζα
Χωριστο κουμπι για τη καθε μια μνημη (απο τις 10 για την καθε μπαντα) με μονο ενα κουμπι αλλαζει τον αγαπημενο σταθμο αμεσα και γρηγορα
Σε καινουριο / ξανα scan κραταει τους προηγουμενους σταθμους που βρεθηκαν (αλλα οχι)
Πολυ καλος χρονος μπαταριας (αλλα παιρνει 4 τυπου C μεσαιες)
edit 13/3 .. media range φτηνες αλκανικες πηγαν στα fm 24 ωρες με ηχο μεχρι τις πρωτες 4 μπαρες, με μερικες εναλλαγες σταθμων απο την μνημη και το φως ρυθμισμενο να κλεινει στα 10 δευτερολεπτα, οποτε πιο ονομαστες αλκανικες παραπανω χρονο
Ευκολο και απλο στη χρηση
Ο φωτισμος μπορει να ρυθμιστει μονιμα αναμενος ή για 10 δευτερα (ισως για εξοικονομηση μπαταριας)
Δεν υπαρχει dx ρυθμιση στα FM οποτε αν οι σταθμοι ειναι διπλα διπλα μπορει να επιρεαζει ο ενας τον αλλο
Το φις μονο προσοχη μην πιεζετε οταν το βαζετε / βγαζετε απο την πριζα, με το μαλακο ... μπορει να εχει θεμα να φυγει το φος απο την θεση του (φτιαχνει με ανα απλο ανοιγμα
Πιστευω ειναι απο τα καλυτερα σε ληψη, dab & fm και αυτος ειναι ο λογος που το προτιμησα και νομιζω δεν επεσα εξω
10 απο εμενα, ειμαι ευχαριστημενος για την χρηση που το θελω, άλλα dab σε τετοια τιμη μπορει να εχουν πιο πολλα ελλατωματα
