I recently discovered Tecsun radios, adding a PL-990 and then an H-501 to my collection. Do note that this is the H-501 and not the H-501X. There is not much difference but you may need to adjust some settings. Speaking of settings, be sure to research the hidden settings if you purchase this. The radio DOES have bluetooth, in fact so does the PL-990, but it is a hidden feature.
I found this radio works best with an external antenna if using indoors. I would prefer it have a switch to select the internal vs external antenna like the PL-990. There are several useful features on this radio, however I find the memory storage somewhat complicated and don't use it. The only other issue is one of the batteries failed in just a few days. I've reached out to Tecsun so perhaps they will correct the problem.
Sadly, there are not many entertaining SW stations in the US anymore but there are several overseas. I listen to a digital station in New Zeland almost every evening and morning for about an hour, and I have picked up stations all over the globe with the right conditions. Overall I strongly suggest this radio, especially if you only intend to own one (good luck with that). In fact, I would suggest almost any Tecsun radio.

The tecsun h501 radio
An impressive addition to the ham shack. I love the dual speakers and dual batteries. I listen to Ham operators all the time.
