There are quite a few.
We will cover just four of the most important.
Adding seconds to the display panel clock.
Radio POWER OFF

How to display all readouts in the display panel and radio’s firmware version.
Radio POWER OFF

The full display panel will turn on.
Press and hold AM BW button again.

Synchronous Detection (SD)
Allows the radio to lock onto the USB or LSB of a radio signal, often improves reception.
Reviews indicate the Tecsun PL880 SD has a problem providing a stable lock on a signal which produces unstable
shifting audio (poor audio output). In those cases, it is better to turn off SD. Know that CORAC’s communications
occur on USB.

Press and hold USB/NORM or LSB/NORM button until SYNC appears on display panel.
Press the same button again to toggle SYNC off.
