Recently had my Tecsun BCL-2000 screwed up recently (Had it in my
checked luggage on a flight, and after I got it home the AM dial was
filled with images and AM reception was generally crippled. Anyone
have any ideas on what might have happened)

My guess is the new high power X-Ray scanners in use at airports
to scan baggage for bambs and such instead bombarded your
radio with so much x-ray that it fried the semiconductors in the radio.

My advice: File a claim for damaged goods to the TSA at
