The Tecsun S-8800 has been a long time coming to the Australian market so we’re very excited that Silicon Chip Magazine has featured this great new addition to our range of radios in their most recent July 2017 magazine!
The Tecsun S-8800 review is on Page 57 of the July 2017 issue of Silicon Chip Magazine!
Here are some of the great things they had to say about the P-8800.
“If you live in, or go “bush” and want a radio that will let you keep listening where other radios have given up, or if you’re a city resident who wants to give DX listening a go, try the Tecsun S-8800.”
– Silicon Chip Magazine
“The S-8800 is right up there, even exceeding many higher-priced sets in its ability to not only resolve distant stations but to maintain them at an enjoyable level.”
– Silicon Chip Magazine
“The shortwave section covers just above the broadcast band (1.711MHz) through to almost 30MHz (actually 29.999MHz and with its single sideband plus AM reception, along with fine tuning, you’ll be pulling in stations that you didn’t know existed!”
– Silicon Chip Magazine
And the Silicon Chip team aren’t the only ones excited about this great new addition to the Tecsun family of radios. Here you can read Garry Cratt’s full review here, and watch the video demonstration!
“Although the frequency range is stated as 520-1620kHz (when the receiver is set to 9kHz spacing), it can be extended by setting the receiver to 10kHz spacing and then it will be possible to tune 520-1710kHz. By using slow tuning steps (1kHz), and station can be tuned.”
– Radio expert Garry Cratt (VK2YBX)
The S-8800 was featured and reviewed in Silicon Chip Magazine alongside the new Tecsun D-008 DAB+ Digital Radio!
The Tecsun S-8800 High Performance AM/FM Radio has been designed to provide maximum performance on the AM (MW) bands, allowing listeners to receive fringe AM radio stations with unmatched audio clarity.
The Tecsun S-8800 is the only radio in the Tecsun range to provide an infrared remote control in the kit. An absolute luxury for the user as all functions are able to be controlled by the remote. The remote uses standard AAA batteries to make using the remote hassle-free and cheap when it needs recharging.

Radio enthusiast Jay, founder of review site RadioJayAllen, recently reviewed the Tecsun S-2000 on his blog.
Jay reviewed an early sample of this multi-band portable model many years ago, but was interested to re-test the newer version of the S-2000 to see the difference. Here are some of his comments:
“…the S-2000 competes very well with contemporary portables and its fun factor is high.”
“I love the looks and feel of the radio.”
“…it is unusually well suited for use with external antennas.”
“After extensive comparisons it was apparent that it was at least as sensitive on SW as any of the smaller portables, sometimes even a bit better.”
“…a pleasant sounding radio.”
Thanks to Jay for his in-depth analysis. To take a look at the full review and Jay’s blog, click here.
