Default Best AM Radio for Talk Radio ?

IMHO - a real good radio for the BCB or listening to talk radio should
be a radio that is strictly AM. I know - I know there are some
extremely good receivers that have the SW and FM with the AM but in
most cases there are taking 'something' away to have all three modes.
The only radio I would buy that had the AM and FM for talk radio would
be one of the SR or if you can find a GE P-780 on Ebay, grab it. I
can't count how many hundreds of hours where I have the GE on and
listening to the Reds games or talk radio, it's fabulous for that.
Just my take.ducking beer bottles

My GE SRIII, bought from Ace Hardware is very good, but the tuning is so
damn touchy! I listen at night to WPHT, great evening talk shows. I am in
S. Florida, so use a Select-Tenna to weed out the Cubans who seem to infest
every channel.
Also use a CCrane with the "twin ferrite" antenna, and several restored
boatanchors, which are really the best for BCBDX!
