A while back I was told that the Realistic 12-255 or 12-256 were the
best radios they made for AM BCB listening. But I must have gotten the
model number mixed up or copied wrong. The one I saw was about the
size
of text book. Anyone have any hints or tips on what it might be? I
think if I saw a pic I might recognize it

I reallly liked the Realistric TRF 10 that I got in 1965. This ad
shows a claim of 100-mile reception in daylight

I remember getting 400-mile daylight reception. OK, I was on a ship
and it was over salt water, but it was 400+ miles at midday.
