4) How can my little Degen 1102 (tiny ferrite antenna) do so well on MW
while my ATS505 does so poorly?


How much difference does the "DX/Local" switch make?

In other words, what effect does the switch have on a strong
local station and what effect does it have on a weak, distant
station.

The "Local" position will make it just about insensitive so that
the "Local" stations won't overload it.

In the "DX" position, "Local" stations will overload the radio.
It's a good feature but ya have to remember to switch.
