Tecsun PL-990X/PL-330 New Hidden Feature

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Admittedly I do not do much with MW BCB, but yeah, I have used the feature for using an external antenna for MW with my PL-330.

The PL-880 also has a similar feature.  The magic key presses extend the shortwave band down to the 540 KHz.  Just be careful, the Tecsun radios tend to overload.
