Hi

I have a Degen DE1103 already, and the AM reception is pretty good.
I'm saving up for the new Grundig/Eton S350DL radio and was wondering
if it has better AM reception than the DE1103.

I like listening to Coast to Coast on KFAB Nebraska from Manitoba
Canada, but it's hit and miss with a radio. My local station airs the
show but cuts out the bumper music.


The S350 (not DL) has better sensitivity than the DE-1103. However, it is
less selective.

You may find that a Sony ICF-SW7600GR works well--it has synchronous
detection.


That may be a problem for somebody in Canada. The 7600 is no longer sold
in Canada, and Canadian customs is cracking down on stuff bought over
the net from the US and then shipped into Canada. He could always look
on Ebay for a used one, but he'll pay a premium. Another possibility is
looking on the ham swap sites for a cheap tabletop-most of them cover
the MW band, and their selectivity and sensitivity is usually far better
than a portable. I find that I have less fading issues with my Yaesu
than with any portable on MW.
