## Description

The Tecsun PL606 is a portable digital AM/FM/LW shortwave radio. This PLL synthesized receiver picks up a wide range of broadcasting including AM, FM , longwave & shortwave. To tune into a station, you can use one of the following 4 methods: Tuning knob, memory, ATS tuning & Tecsun's own & unique ETM (Easy Tuning Mode). Different from ATS, the ETM does a more comprehensive scanning of all receivable frequencies without taking up the memory spaces, it offers you an easy access to all local stations, ideal for traveling. There are also a total of 550 memories available for tuning into your favorite stations. With DSP (Digital Sound Processing) technology, the PL-606 offers you excellent listing experience with outstanding clarity & high tone quality. The PL-606 can be powered by two AA batteries (not included), it also has 5V mini-USB DC input jack. When using the USB jack, the radio can be used to charge the batteries (rechargeable AA batteries only) when necessary. Frequency coverage: FM: 87-108MHz； AM: 520-1710; LW: 153-513 KHz; SW: 1711-29999 KHz Accessories include: Earphones; FM/SW telescopic antenna extender; Soft antenna; Carrying pouch; User manual in English

Review: Tecsun PL-606 Portable Radio - This radio has excellent sound quality (at least for talk radio) and is obviously quite portable to take from one room to another. Earphones have good quality sound (not tinny). It does not eat batteries, and gives you a low battery warning on its screen. In addition, when the batteries are near failure, the sound slowly decreases to 0 decibles as a gradual audio reminder, but even during this period, reception doe not suffer at all. I gave it only 4 stars, because its instructions are a little quirky. I even have to keep its manual handy for when it goes off memory, etc. But this does not happen very often; that's why I forget how to correct the same problem from time to time.
Review: Gave sound quality a 1 star but value a 5 - Wanted the 3rd radio in my collection of this small DSP type radio from Tecsun so I ordered the PL-606. Unfortunately this particular specimen PL-606 suffers from a constant background noise in the FM and AM bands. Haven't tried SW yet. I listen to radio via ear buds so this noise is not reasonable to hear in the background unless it was the only radio I had on hand. Get the PL-380 or the PL-310et. Those are both 5 star radios all around! The quality of the PL-606 display and the construction of the chassis is good. It has the same display as the excellent PL-310et and PL-380 have. The two separate numerical indicators for overall signal and signal to noise ratio are very useful and unlike any other of the many radios I have. The PL-606 came with a neat little antenna rod extender and a plug in external wire antenna. Both of these can be used on other radios with rod antennas and ext. antenna input. So I'll not be sending this back. TECSUN is still my favorite brand for small DSP radios. I'll likely be buying more in the future.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I purchased kaito ka11 last year. It worked for some time, and became dead,no display no switch on,can you help to fix it is it possible for you.**
A: Dear customer never think to buy that radio I had one  at first I was happy but later this radio work terrible. it turn on and turn off sudenly with terrible noise turn on before the timer selection work interference grew up, I an looking for another radio.
I have one pocket radio instead that radio and also I has several Apps in my phone with beutifull sound.MyTecsun PL-606 Digital will be destroy by my hammer soon, frend look please a diferent option. Good luck

**Q: is this product good in nrecieving shortwave frequency?**
A: I did not concentrate on its shortwave reception; its programming was a little iffy, and it would lose settings for stations often.  I found it extremely difficult to program for a simple radio - could have done with a lot less bells and whistles, which would have made basic prgramming less tentative.

**Q: I purchased kaito ka11 last year. It worked for some time, and became dead,no display no switch on,can you help to fix it is it possible for you.**
A: It's been some time since I discarded mine for failure to function, also.  However, it did work well for several years.  I sometimes found it helpful to remove all batteries and wait a few minutes before reinserting them.  Other than that, I believe when it finally failed, that step no longer worked.  Good luck with it.

**Q: Does this radio have a beep alarm?**
A: The alarms appears to be only radio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous portable
*by A***R on January 27, 2012*

This is a fabulous radio. I highly recommend it. I live in Manhattan surrounded by many high powered clear channel AM station transmitters (WABC, WCBS, WINS, etc.) On many if not most of the portable and semi-portable radios I have ever owned, I suffered significant harmonic interference from these stations while listening on AM, LW and Shortwave. With this Tecsun PL-606, for the first time the bands are virtually free of these harmonics, making long-distance DX listening possible. I have achieved great success with AM DX'ing and have picked up many new stations I could never hear before, including quite a few trans-atlantic stations, using only the built-in ferrite loop! LW and Shortwave are equally outstanding in reception quality. FM has been gratifying as well. I originally bought this radio intending for it to be a travel-portable (and it really is SMALL, it travels very well), but its performance has far exceeded all expectations and it has taken first place above all my other radios. My previous favorite portable, the highly acclaimed Degen/Kaito 1103 has been upstaged by this radio by a wide margin for its portability, listening quality and ergonomics. On the technical side, the radio consumes very little power and my Eneloop NiMH batteries have gone through maybe eight to ten hours of listening and haven't yet shown even a hint of needing a recharge. The radio's DSP filtering (narrowing of the signal) is an excellent tool. Sound quality is best with earphones as the speaker is tiny and tinny but sufficient. The automatic "ETM" search tool is an outstanding utility when searching for signals. The radio just misses a direct entry keypad but tuning is relatively easy with the multi-speed dial. The external antenna jack is only for SW and FM so if you get bitten by the AM DXing bug like I did, then there is not much you can do to attach an external antenna for that band unless you couple the ferrite rod. So until that truly ideal radio arrives, then for the price paid, you just can't go wrong with this miracle worker.
