There are three stations that I can pick up that carries it, but all three fade in and out. I spend more time trying to find a station that's still audible when one fades, but usually when one fades out, they all do.

A well used Eaton E5... decent SW performance, very good AM and the best FM performance that I have ever observed in a hand-held portable (and I have tried a bunch), decent sound for a 3" speaker and great stereo when used with decent headphones.

I have a number in rotation, of course , but two that have been getting heavy use lately are a Radio Shack 20-125 (not worth a darn on SW, but decent reception and audio on AM/FM, and the option of a very LOUD wake-up buzzer, good for those mornings when I need some extra help getting out of bed), and an old Realistic Patrolman 6.

G'day all, I have an 'old' GE Superadio MK.2 on my bedside table and it is a top AM/FM portable radio with great RF performance and very nice audio quality too. Regards, Felix (vk4fuq) aka catman.

Are your AM stations 9 KHZ apart, or 10 KHZ. You need a manual tuned for that. |

G'day mate, I believe that model were sold all over the world. Mine uses either 6 'D' Cell batteries or straight into a 240 volt mains socket.
We use nine kilohertz channel spacing in Australia but as the tuning is manual so channel spacing is not an issue if I understand your question. Regards, Felix (vk4fuq) aka catman. |

G'day mate, regarding external antenna jacks, well a simple ferrite rod 'coupler' works very well and actually provides some additional selectivity. Regards, Felix (vk4fuq) aka catman.

This little Panasonic isn't the best radio I have but it's convenient to grab so it's what I've been using lately:
I have a Nordemende Transita that I really like but I busted the antenna completely off of it, really messed it up. I need to just rig something up and stop worrying about how it looks.
