Always thought the reason car radios did so well is that they were able
to use the car itself as some sort of antanna. Likely won't be rolling
a jalopy into the office to listen... ;^)

That said, I have seen your recommendation around a bit, you just
(apparently) have to add an antenna.

This sorta brings me back to one of my initial questions -- Would an AM
antanna make most any radio, from car radio to $5 cheapie to Model One
to whatever make a good set-up?

And I haven't heard much about FM... Is the Model One as good as I
read about getting rid of FM interference?

Thanks for all the answers. Looks like a more complicated field than
I'd hoped.
