Tecsun PL-398BTTecsun PL-310ETYesterday, a four day weekend started for Augie, so he and I slept in the tent two days in a row. Let’s just say last night was just enough colder where dad definitely was uncomfortable and woke up quite a bit. Nothin’ layers can’t handle during future excursions.

I hope. 🙂

As for Augie…plent toasty it appears. (Of course, he is using my colder weather sleeping bag with a second one his cousin Evan gave him.)

Pictured at the top of this post are the two radios I used to check out shortwave and AM last night. The one on the left is a Tecsun PL-380BT and the right is a Tecsun PL310ET. I spent most of the time with the former…but, just as was true the previous night with the beefier Tecsun PL-880…shortwave reception wasn’t near as good as last week. I also didn’t live tweet every find this time…just the highlights.

So, without further ado…

By the way, I don’t know if it got any lower…but the coldest I saw it using the thermostat in the PL-398BT was 48 degrees. In a tweet I noted how I like the lighted keypad on that radio. I also like how both the PL-398BT and PL-310ET have built in thermostats. I know it probably seems like an odd addition, but it is neat. Oh, the picture I have of the PL-398BT above doesn’t show how it looks, or that it has two speakers:

Tecsun PL-398BT

I didn’t actually mean to take that image with a flash, so that’s why the left speaker is cut off. Yes, the PL-398BT has dual speakers…and it supports bluetooth (the “BT” in the model number)…plus a whole bunch of other great features.

Before I wrap up, however, here is how the previous night went with the Tecsun PL-880 (starting of with a video with Augie):

@AlanCult Nice. They pump out 50kW. I listen to them all over TX. Interesting what you can get on AM when the sun goes down.
