Digital tuners killed AM radio.


Why is that?

Because you can't tune out heterodynes or get it sounding less muddy by
moving out of the center of the channel slightly.

You can't? Wow, that's sure news to my R8, Satellit 800, YB 400, Degen
1102, etc.

Unless you have a very cheap digital that only tunes SW in 5 kHz steps,
what you said above is simply not true. The R8 has 10 Hz tuning
resolution!

Seriously, have you used a digitally tuned radio?

AM radio is listened to by people in cars, not SWLs. I have digital
radios that resolve to less than 10 Hz, but these are not the norm.
