It seems to be a very good AM tuner though. It would need more
knobs to be what you would really want, but it's pretty selective
and sensitive, for instance, at least with the external antenna ;
and it doesn't overload.


I'm curious about your radio's AM selectivity. Is it always IBOC wide or
does it receive normal AM stations with a normal narrower selectivity?

Audiowise, it's very selective as to hearing adjacent channel stations. You don't
hear splatter at all.

The AGC takes hits from the adjacent station audio, however. Which is why
you'd want a knob for AGC fast/slow, for instance.
