Tecsun PL-990x – Advanced Portable Shortwave Receiver with SSB

Tecsun PL-990x is an advanced portable shortwave receiver designed for listeners who value high sensitivity, stable frequency accuracy, and modern DSP performance in a compact format. The radio covers longwave, medium wave, shortwave, and FM, making it suitable for both DX listening and general radio reception.

The PL-990x is based on Tecsun’s well-proven DSP platform and offers very good selectivity, low internal noise, and flexible filter settings. With support for both manual tuning and direct frequency entry, it works equally well as a desktop receiver and as a portable field radio.

The radio includes full SSB reception (USB/LSB), making it well suited for monitoring amateur radio traffic, maritime services, aviation-related communications, utility stations, and other services where single sideband is used. Precise frequency tuning and adjustable bandwidth help separate weak signals in crowded bands.
