TECSUN PL-368 is a portable PLL DSP multiband receiver with SSB and Synchronous Detection. It offers Tecsun’s new ETM+ feature which gives the possibility of setting up time-specific memories for longwave, medium wave (AM) and shortwave.
Its vertical design is reminiscent of the PL-360 and PL-365, but now also offers a keypad for more convenient direct frequency selection. However, unlike its predecessors that use 3 x AA-sized batteries, the PL-368 is powered by 1 x BL-5C lithium battery. The battery can be charged by connecting the radio to a 5V USB charger (not included), one similar to those used for most smartphones and tablets.
