Tom Welch has apprised us of this very intriguing, new offering from Tecsun, the PL-360, which features DSP (improves FM sensitivity), a dock for external AM antenna (the AN200 external antenna is $20 extra), and something I've never heard of before--ETM, Easy Tuning Mode.
The PL-360 powers on 3 AA batteries or an external adapter (not included). Without the AN200 (but I would only buy the PL-360 WITH the external AM antenna; seems like half the fun), the PL-360 is $46 plus $24 shipping. The seller, Anon-co, hails from Hong Kong.
With the external AM antenna, the PL-360 reminds me of a two-pronged wine opener. Sorry I couldn't drag a larger photo. Click on the eBay site for a better look.
If you're looking for outstanding FM induced from the new DSP technology, you might look into the Milwaukee 2590 worksite radio, which I reviewed a month back.
Thanks, ix, very promising indeed, one of the buttons below the display says: "SSB"!

Jeffrey, I'm sorry, but my chinese is even worse than my english ;)
But what I found out: When I open the Anjan Website
http://www.anjan.cn/
I see a pop-up with an ad for the DTS-10. That might be a hint, that it is NO vaporware...
And google translator is our friend:

They call it "high definition, deep bass, full-band, professional desktop, Radio"! :)
And here on this picture

Andreas, thank you for that fantastic info. I want to buy one of these. My bet is eBay will be my first opportunity.
