Am looking for the best choice of a portable AM radio, to be used

listen to talk radio, both local and national stations.

Audio sound quality and decent tuner are a must. Inclusion of a

band would be nice, but not a requirement. I do want digital tuning,
and
station presets.

Have had a CC Crane radio for five years, and getting a bit tired of
it.
Good sound, but quality control is awful, and digital readout is flaky.

This should be fun to watch:-)

I like radios with continuously variable tuning, or at least ones with 1
kHz or better resolution, so I can off-tune slightly for better
intelligibility or interference mitigation.- Hide quoted text -

IMHO - a real good radio for the BCB or listening to talk radio should
be a radio that is strictly AM. I know - I know there are some
extremely good receivers that have the SW and FM with the AM but in
most cases there are taking 'something' away to have all three modes.
The only radio I would buy that had the AM and FM for talk radio would
be one of the SR or if you can find a GE P-780 on Ebay, grab it. I
can't count how many hundreds of hours where I have the GE on and
listening to the Reds games or talk radio, it's fabulous for that.
Just my take.ducking beer bottles

those stupid baseball games!

Yea, I have a couple of GE SRs too.

Ha! I don't know if you really feel that way or was just trying to get
a reaction. I'll play. ;-)
Actually here in the Nati' - talk radio preempts baseball. I feel
lucky to reside in Cincinnati for many reasons but the one I feel most
gracious for and actually take for granted is the talk radio. I'm sure
every city has talk radio but from the afternoon with Bill Cunningham
all the way through to the midnight show with Steve Somers and The
American Trucking Network - it's just real good listening and everyone
is local.

That's why I like to tune to other cities and listen to their
homegrown talent, you learn alot about those areas by their talk radio
IMO.
