Sensitivity wise both equal but PL 680 more pleasant to listen to less background noise and holds the signal better. Also has sync that works well

Both receivers are fantastic in Shortwave, congratulations video, great comparison.

Top of the St-Jean to you Gilles. Seeing a pop-up on my screen for this video that I don't have time to review reminds of something that is seldom done (if ever). With the rise of a new solar cycle and the interesting catches that come with it, It would be VERY INTERESTING to have a performance comparison of the various receivers ON THE HIGHER bands, and I'm talking 10-12 meters here. What do you think ???

J'adore ces deux radios, je possède depuis peu les PL-330 et PL-680. Après les avoir tous deux calibrés, je les trouve précis sur toutes les bandes de fréquences. Mon PL-330 à le firmware 3305 et mon PL-680 le firmware 6622. C'est sûr, si on les écoute sur haut-parleur le 680 sonne mieux, mais avec un casque, il n'y a plus vraiment de différences. Merci pour cette revue !!

Como calibrar o 680 ?
@whollyunaware51853 жыл бұрын
Both are receiving the signal very well. My personal preference is the audio quality of PL-680 - just seems fuller/richer. Thanks for the video!

The 680 does seem to have a slight edge. Its speaker looks just the tiniest bit bigger.

Cool video! Appreciate your effort & time to give us this perspective & comparison. I just purchased a PL-330 largely based on your positive review of this model. I have a question re the tether attached to the radio for carrying. I do not need it since I will rarely use it. Is there a way to remove it from the radio other than simply cutting it off? THX in advance! D. King, Thunder Bay

hey idk if you will see this but if you can i have questions for the realistic TRC 218 2 watt 3 channel walkie talkie, do i just pop the top off to get in and change the crystals, also my second crystal do you know where i can get crystals? thank you sm

Only one time, I was triggered (and I can´t get it again) a bug that fix 1 Khz bandwidt in AM, LW and SW in no SSB or sync mode too, minimun is 2´5 Khz bandwidt in no SSB and or SYNC mode=. At this point, the radio was not allow me change or choose other bandwidt. BUT: the chuffing sound, the "pops", some background noise and the "peaks" in the audio was all gone. It was like listening with a very-very good PLL synthetised radio from years ago. :-) Sadly I can´t found how to get this bug again.

The PL-330 had a pumping effect of the signal like no AGC. The 680 handled it much better. Of all your PL-330 vs whatever, this is the 1st video that disappoints me with the PL-330. Is there a gain control for the PL-330?

No gain control or switch LOCAL-DX for the PL-330.

I note the PL680 is tuned to 13562 and PL 330 on 13650, the correct freq.???. Not a fair comparison. My PL330 audio is excellent as I feed the audio to a Panasonic active speaker.

Question. Why did you not use the sync. On the 680 it would have been a lot better copy of the signal.

I notice they are not on the same frequency. Unless the display is off? The dsp doesn't seem to hold the signal fade as well, but trade-off is size and weight, I assume. Nice comparison, thanks for the video!

any reason the PL-680 was tuned to 13652 not 13650? and I believe if you tune the PL-330 to 13652 you will stop the muting during deep fades so could you possibly do this comparison again?
