Best AM Radio for Talk Radio ?

I remember when I was going to pu the RS that touted that piece as a "long distance" radio. The knobs and switches were loose and there was just no heft to the piece for its size. There's no way that particular radio would have held up to all the hours I would have used it IMO. I think that they are now re-branded RCA,but still the same radio. It is still pretty solid, not a lightweight. The varactor tuning knob is very touchy however. The Select-Tenna really helps null out the noise and the interference, in addition to the ferrite rod in the radio. BTW, I picked up an old Knight Star Roamer with a wound loop in the back of the radio. With some tweaking of the controls, it is a good BCBDXer! Four tubes and a selenium resistor. It was restored by a friend of mine who specializes in old radios. I am getting overrun with old radios around here! My really great AM DXer is my Panasonic RF-2200 with the swiveling ferrite rod, can't beat that baby! Got it at Keesler AFB when I was stationed there in the '80s. Those radios are all built in Asia by Thomson Multimedia. |
