What is the most sensitive AM/FM radio

wrote:
My GE Super Radio III is the very best for medium wave DX-ing I have
ever owned. It brings in an incredible selection of distant AM and FM
stations, particularly at night. I would like to find an am/fm radio
with the same sensitivity but with a timer and station preset buttons.
The Eton X does not do the job. Any suggestions. I do not need SW.
I prefer a small handheld radio not a tabletop.

The Sony 7600GR sounds like your best bet. 1 kHz tuning and 100
presets, has a clock with a sleep timer, so I'd assume an on/off timer
as well (though I never needed one so I didn't check). Small enough to
carry around and very sensitive on MW, with a good selectable sideband
synch detector for avoiding interference. Unfortunately you'll have to
put up with SW to get what you're looking for. The GE is analog so
you'll be giving up the feel of a tuning dial, if that matters to you.
That's the reason I sold my otherwise excellent 7600GR.
