I would prefer a table radio like a Tivoli or old KLH21


Ceratinly some DRM capability, or a place to add a plug-in card which could be
either DRM, C-QUAM stereo, or the digital AM (IBOC or Kahn?).

Depending on how the digital standard goes, at least the RF could be constant.

10/9 khz tuning (US vs Euro)

Noise blanker

An input for a loop antenna

An input with DC phantom power for an outdoor active antenna

Maybe an antenna switch to switch between lop and other antenna, or two loops.

Good tone controls

Perhaps something like the old Scott DYNAURAL circuit which shaped the flatness
of the audio depending on signal strength, or something like Worcester's AM
circuit which made the IF passband narrower as the signal strength decreased.

Good speaker!
