What's a Tecsun PL-200? HOw is it different from a BCL-2000?

The PL-200 is similar to the PL-230 and Grundig
YB-550, but not a "vertical" type radio... standard
shape. Neither has SSB.

From what I've read it has tinny speaker sound but
is otherwise a fine radio. Being small, that is probably
unavoidable. It's Chinese and runs on 220v a/c or
with AA batteries. It comes with rechargeable
1100s.

There are some for sale on eBay, mainly from a very
reliable dealer named Liypn. Here's his eBay store address

He includes a manual in English and 110/220v converter free.
The red one looks pretty cool. The PL-220 ad from there
mentions 2 AA batteries, and 3 AA batteries.
One is a typo, but I don't know which. Which ever is right
is what one would get with the radio.

I almost got one, then decided on the Degen DE1102 from
Liypn.
