Default (OT) What's a DECENT fm (clock?) radio?

Ones I've bought at costco -- when a cab drives
by the house, you hear him transmitting on
his radio.

And LOUSY sensitivity!

(Where do they make these things, in China?)

I look in Amazon for table-top radios, and
not one gets consistently decent reviews.

And apparently all of them are slapped together
with ZERO effort at defect-free construction.

So, you guys have any suggestions?


Thanks!

PS: In an earlier life, back in the 50's and 60's,
I was K5TEQ. Built (of course) DX-40, and even
that HUGE heathkit ham receiver. Later got an
NCX-something SSB transceiver (could NCX
have been the name? -- it was SO long ago.)

But tired of the ham stuff -- the only thing people
wanted to talk about was their equipment!

Goodwill. At $3 to $5 a pop you can use several. That'll wake you for sure.
