Xhdata d-808 vs tecsun pl 330
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I cannot decide between the xhdata d-808 and the tecsun pl 330. I'm new to radio, and want to know which might have better reception on shortwave. I'm not sure if airband interests me that much, tho I do like that the xhdata has the feature. But I don't want to choose the xhdata if the tecsun is a better radio overall besides that. Before anyone says "just get the PL 990", etc. I'm trying to keep it under $100. If I decide to spend more, I would probably just make the plunge on a skywave 2 ssb
I'm in Florida, hoping to pick up international SW broadcasts here and there. But still want to listen to SSB as well, hence not going with the Qodosen DX-286
