Recently purchased a 680 despite some comments that the Airband was not great and did not work with the external antenna. I have an external dipole connected, tuned for the Airband frequencies, and it works fantastically. Our local airport is 25KM away and signals are strong and clear.
Thank you, Gilles, for the tutorial video in reference to the Tecsun PL-680 SSB! An outdoor antenna is imperative for SW DXing in many cases so I am delighted to see the sizable improvements in the Tecsun PL-680 over the PL-600!
Great vid. I ordered a PL-680 based on your reviews. I have a PL 310ET that does really well on a wire antenna. It picked up the frequency you are demonstrating here at 1:45pm on the east coast.
Good evening, it is strange what you say about the calibration of the PL-680, because my copy I can easily calibrate it. It has the latest firmware 6622. But it is true that older models of the PL-680 cannot be calibrated.
I was just gonna alligator clip the 680 and connect to 100 yards old army field wire in the trees. Do they have something better that connects to the external antennae. I live in a valley, rural country, and primarily want to use for SW
With any radio, nothing is usually perfect. You hit the nail on the head. You will have to live with it.
I got a 680 a couple months ago and I’m really enjoying it. I guess I’m lucky because mine isn’t off frequency. Thanks for the review.

I love my PL-680. Works great with the MLA-30 Loop.

Well I just ordered a pl-680. Hope it works well. Thank you for your great videos.
I just bought the PL-680 after sending two other models back. I kept the 680.
