Hi all I was reading through the archives concerning AM/FM PC radios.
The ones that keep coming up are WinRadio, TenTek and Icom, but they
look to be overkill for what I need. I am looking for a way to record
an AM station at a set time from my PC so that I could listen to it
when I get home or the next day. Is there a radio that will allow me
to do this?
Thanks for the advice.

Patch the earphone jack of your existing radio to the LINE IN jack on
your PC, and tell Total Recorder to record it at the desired time. I do
that for DXing purposes and it works fine.
(caveat: if you're recording a long program instead of just a few
seconds of station ID, this will eat a LOT of hard-disk space! - but
with Total Recorder you can apparently install a MP3 or Ogg compression
program that will considerably reduce the amount of space required.)
