Dane, What are the approximate dimensions of the PL-880?

Yep, had the radio for 15 months or thereabouts.

There's no doubt about it, the PL-880 is the best sounding portable 
for its size.


I found the PL-660 and the PL-880 very good on FM and SW.

The PL-880 is better on AM but the PL-660 would be good if it didn't 
have so much noise on the AM band.


All-in-all, the PL-880 is a damn good buy and should provide for most 
radio listener requirements.

Dane, do you own this radio, and if so, how would you compare it to the 660?
