Has Anyone tried a Tivoli with interferance from a strong adjacent
channel signal ?

Are all the Tivoli models equivilant as far as receiver specs go ?

My Tivoli radios do a very good job of rejecting adjacent and
alternate channels. As one example, there is a low-powered college
stations about thirty miles from me that broadcasts on 91.7MHz. On
most radios, it gets totally thrashed by a 100 KW (and really
terrible) commercial station that is just 4 miles distant,
broadcasting on 91.9. With the Tivoli radios, I manage to get it
cleanly. In a similar vein, there are two other non-commercial
stations, one on 88.7 from some 50 miles away, and one at 88.5 that is
82 miles away, that I listen to on a regular basis.

I have both the Model Two (stereo) and a Model One (mono) radios.
Tivoli doesn't publish the specs for either, so I have no idea how
much circuitry they share. All I can say is that their performance
seems uniformly good. The mono Model One does seem to have a slightly
lower noise floor occasionally, most likely due to its mono design
that would tend to cancel out-of-phase noise.
