The primary virtue of the Tecsun radios is that they use modern DSP 
techniques, many of the same used by ham mfrs.  The PL380 is a very good 
$50 radio, the PL660 and PL880 are very good $150 radios. I own both 
PL380 and PL660. I'd guess (by careful listening) that the 660 has 3-6 
dB better sensitivity than the 380.  I know nothing about the Grundig 
model, or even about Grundig in general. The NAME has been around for 
many years, but names are bought and sold. Contemporary RCA products are 
pretty low quality -- that name was sold when the real RCA was folded. 
Ditto for AT&T and Altec. The only connection between new and old is 
MONEY. :)
