[RFI] Portables for sniffing RFI

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

My 660 died between the time I received it and the next time I tried to turn it on several months later.  Nobody seems to know where to get it fixed.  I doubt that I would buy anything more made by Tecsun.

I have the 880 and had the 660. On the shortwave bands, I found the 660 to be more sensitive. But the audio quality of the 880 is far superior. So if you want to be able to listen to the radio without it making you want to scream due to aural pain,  ;-) buy the 880.
