Hi. The new Sangean DT200VX is the replacement for the famous, DT200V.
C Crane claims "better AM reception." Although I have the old model,
I have ordered a new one because of the even better Am reception.
Also, the new one has a backlight, and is supposed to have better
sound. Any opinions? What do you think?

I just received the Sony ICF-S10MK2 pocket-radio and it is on-par with
my more expensive digital PLL radios - if you are interested, here is a
review of it on RadioIntel.com:

It was only $10, including shipping, from J$R Music (also, on
SonyStyle.com). Here is the review, I wrote on Amazon, under
"analogAMforever":

Awesome radio for $10 !

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Sangean claims the new model,
DT200VX, has better AM reception. If true, what might have been done
to the model to improve the AM reception?

I am definately not a "radio geek", just a radio lover, but if it is
any larger then maybe a larger ferrite-rod, a tuned input loop
(whatever that is), or an improved receiver chip (whatever that does).
You should definately try out the Sony ICF-S10MK2 - it's analog-tuned
so there is no PLL synthesizer noise...
