This is a decent radio with good performance for the price. It has
excellent audio and the selectivity is also acceptable for a portable.
The main thing I disliked was the tuning backlash caused buy the dial
string/pulley/varicap tuning scheme. Too bad a direct or (plastic)
gear drive wasn't used. A very good analog tuned radio for the price
in any case.

The BCL-2000 is a great radio for the price! It has nice features, but it is
a great performing dxer. I just got mine yeaterday, and I compared it side
by side with my dx-440. It blew the 440 away. It was receiving stations that
didn't even bump the meter on the 440!

I clearly heard Radio Vietnam last night, and a ton of other stations that I
had never knew existed before. I live in the upper midwest and am looking
forward to having a lot of fun with this radio. Even my wife, no sw fan at
all, loved it and showed some interest.

Great radio for under $60!

Hi,
I'm looking for opinions from people who have bought either the Tecsun
BCL-200 or the PL-200 radios. There are only a few (mostly very
positive) reviews of these on the web; but you can never tell how
"interested" these few reviews are ...

Thanks.
