It appears from past posts that AM/FM questions are fair game here; I
apologize in advance to any hard-core SWers.

I'm looking for the best, relatively inexpensive ($150) home radio
for listening to talk radio with the following
considertaions/constraints...

1.) I like to listen to a somewhat difficult to receive FM station
day & night which my home cheapie radios don't pick up well (though
the cars do very well).

So, get a car radio and a 12 volt (13.4 Volt) supply used to run
automotive stuff in the house. (Radio Shack, or for more powerful
one of the Amateur Radio equipment dealers). When I visited a
hospital a few years back, this is what they used for the room
entertainment systems, built into the room's chest of drawers.
