It's easy to overload the front end so don't spend too much money.

The sensitivity of small receivers is great but their dynamic range
isn't much good.

The particular result is that you hear noise from many other
frequencies on the frequency you want to hear, as every loud station
serves as a mixer in overload.

- But if the signal you want comes in with more antenna, then who cares !

- The Sony 7600 G has a Speech / Misic switch which gives you good dynamic
range w / Music

- Not everywhere, and, if it bothers you, there are Several Work - Arounds for
this.

Better too much Antenna when you need it than not enough..

This Sony receiver has an attenuator (ATT Min to Max) to
lower signal gain - so that front end would not be overloaded.
