There's currently a problem with my #TecsunPL880. The issue is that it will not charge when it is connected to the USB port. Although, I've had this radio scince 2014, the same year I got the Tecsun PL660, which was really my first radio that could receive shortwave. Later on that year I got the PL880. It could be that the battery on the PL880 sucks ass now, which is possible. Not to mention I haven't been abel to find the lid that keeps the battery in place so it doesn't move around, But I've lost it. Recently it has been coming off of the radio, because I think the prong is broke, so when the lid comes off, I have to fix it. Sometimes the battery may come out, but not all the time. Idk if the battery isn't alined right or it just sucks now. Yes, the radio still works, but you have to keep it connected to the USB kable all the time. Sometimes it charges, and other times not so much. I don't want to keep the damn thing connected to the computer all the time.
