Tecsun's answer to Grundig G3, is on sale now 
More goodies on less price, and sure it will be more sturdy than G3

Will it replace PL600 ? sure more features and sure if its a development on PL600 then it will be much better than G3

search "pl660" on Ebay.

Currently the black version is on offer ($75+$28) from anon-co ; I think its a great buy.
