Hi Paul,
Thanks for the information on the PL-300WT's AM-FM DSP chip, and of course
the radio's uneven performance on LW and SW certainly makes me agree with
your statements.
It's obvious now that Tecsun designed the breakthrough DSP performance to
apply only on AM and FM, and the LW and
These new series of DSP radios are interesting from another point of view, at
least from those of us lamenting the move away from US production of high-end
receivers (e.g. Drake): the Silicon Labs chips - the heart of these radios -
are designed and prototyped in Austin, TX. The production
Hey guys:
I also look forward to the PL-310 and PL-380, also advertised as having
DSP. If they used the chip with SW capability, then these would be much
better sets for SW listeners. On the one hand, if they are otherwise the
same performers for AM and FM one might just stick with the P-300WT,

No indiation that any Silicon Labs chips support SSB ... right now it looks
like they're going after the mass consumer market.

Thanks, Paul. As I think about it, judging by what the PL200/e100 had
(keypad yes, no antenna jack, no RF gain, etc.), there may or may not be
much of interest to the AM and FM DXer in the PL-310/380. Without SW, the
PL-300WT's 9/10 khz tuning jumps, plus the ability to program 500 stations

Kevin,
I remember seeing this on the web somewhere (do it yourself project with a
Silicon Labs development kit and a PC or laptop) but can't find it now. Anybody
else have it bookmarked?

Hello All,
Although evidence indicates that a huge ordering boom has started for the
DSP-enhanced Tecsun PL-300WT Ultralight radio, for those of you still on the
fence about this innovative pocket radio, some further information may be
of interest.
Tecsun's primary focus in developing
Gary,
According to the ebay description of the Tecsun PL-300WT (by the seller
liypn), this radio uses the Silicon Labs Si4737 DSP chip which can only
demodulate MW, FM, and the Weather Band. See slide 12 of
