Tecsun PL-365 radio

Tecsun PL-365 is a PLL DSP radio receiver for listening to FM, Longwave (LW), AM / Medium Wave (MW) and Shortwave (SW) frequency bands and is Single Sideband (SSB) capable.

This device uses DSP si4735 micro-chips (from Silicon Labs in USA) to digitize the analog radio signal. In combination with the PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry, this greatly improves the radio's sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio and anti-interference capability.

PL-365 is also equipped with Easy Tuning Mode (ETM), Tecsuns own designed tuning method. ETM provides the user the possibility to auto-scan for new radio stations, without replacing stations that are already stored into the radios memory. ETM is an ideal feature for users who listen to radio broadcastings at different locations.
