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!

Radio Shack sells Eton and Grundig radios, and they are superior to the
crap they sell at most department stores. Check for closeouts. I got a
Grundig G3 for $30. Best deal yet for synchronous detector. Terrible
chuffing.
