TEF 6686 vs Tecsun PL-390: comparison for interference & selectivity

Ғылым және технология

A comparison between the TEF 6686, & what was my best portable FM DXing radio the Tecsun PL-390. The TEF 6686 won here thanks to its narrower & dynamic bandwidth filters. The Tecsun PL-390 only has one bandwidth filter for the FM band & could not reduce interference when needed.
I had to edit out some parts where I am tuning back & forth with both radios because of music played on the stations & copyright notices.

    Interesting! I would like to see a comparison even knowing that I would lose, especially in selectivity. There are no doubts about the Tef 6686, I wanted to buy it, I'm just afraid that it will break down in a few months. How far is France Musique?

    Selectivity is what I tested here, & the TEF 6686 won. The TEF 6686 seems a solid radio, I doubt it will break down in a few months. I have Made In China radios that are still doing good after so many years. The France Musique relay from Caen on 95.6 MHz was about 220 km / 135 miles from my location.

    Yes, I only heard a few complaints mainly about the buttons and antenna, but others are fine with the receiver even after months, although we have to consider that we tinkered a lot. Although, problems you can find with any radio, even the most reputable ones. The older single-speaker version, at least in terms of the cabinet, appears to be quite sturdy.

I have new with comparasion LNA ON and OFF :) LNA not intefered radios !
