For AM broadcast band DXing, any old table radio was a good start, they
were sensitive enough. But they all had lousy dials, leaving that same
issue I previously explained, not being sure where you are, having
problems getting back to that previous frequency.


That's absurd. We were quite able to tune a 5 tube All-American from
540 to 1600 in the twist of the wrist. KTAR next to the first triangle,
KRIZ was next to the second triangle. KUPD was in the middle. Nobody
had any trouble knowing where on the dial "their" station appeared.
