Hi. This radio is claimed to come with a built-in 200mm AM ferrite antenna for "unmatched am reception." A long ferrite rod antenna is only one part of the equation. Who has verified that it has unmatched am reception. Unmatched AM reception is a level of performance I would not expect in a dressed up clock radio. Assuming for a moment that it does have excellent reception, using that AM antenna to null signals will require that a radio loaded with 6 C batteries be lifted on one end and/or rotated. I'm going to guess something like a Sony 7600 or Degen will have better AM performance and be a whole lot easier to handle. I'm hoping this is going to be one of the best am radios out there. Any opinions? $100.00 for an AM FM radio seems pricey. But it is a big impressive white box with 2 speakers and a yellow backlit display, so those features have to be worth something I suppose. And it has 5 yes count 'em folks 5 memories each for AM and FM. |
