Does this radio have the updated firmware? Is there a way to tell by the serial number? The update is not listed in the description.

The seller will have to tell you the version number and yes there is an easy way to read it. 1.) With the radio turned off, simply press and hold the "AM BW" button and the full display panel will turn on.2.) Then press and hold the "AM BW" again and your 880′s firmware version will display (a four digit number).You need version 8820 or higher which fixes a few of the problems but not all.

Can a generic, lithium-ion 3.6/4.2 volt 18650 with a 2600 - 3400 mAh rating be used in this radio? Would it fit and not overload the circuitry?

The only companies that make 18650 batteries are LG, Panasonic, Sony, and Samsung. The ones with other names are just rewrapped with another brand name on them. It's best to buy batteries labeled directly from one of those 4 manufacturers so you know what you are getting because the it's common to see other brands exaggerate the mah rating.

Has anyone purchased from Elextronnix and can confirm the firmware is the most recent 8820? thank you

Firmware 8820 does not guarantee that it is free from the fine-tuning bug. Some 8820 firmware will still tune backwards within a kilohertz during SSB fine tuning. A small but annoying bug. Check with Electronnix before buying.

I live in an apartment and have little access to attach an external antenna to anything outside. Can an external antenna work inside an apartment?

Re sun also sell the AM booster loop, the AN-200 tunable medium wave loop antenna. I have found this no-battery solution to give a great signal boost for all bands except FM. I rest the Tecsun radio inside the loop and it works!
