Yep, there are some really good radios around but the trouble is its always difficult to find a good one, you not only want something which is good and sensitive but something which is selective. For example the CC Observer radio is extremely sensitive but not very selective so if you're trying

A very good pocket radio is the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver, which is sold by Amazon for only $10. I have used it for years and it is surprisingly sensitive with decent selectivity. It also seems to run forever on the two AA batteries. Rich De Steno On 5/29/2011 2:02 AM, Ste

Yep point taken but the Sangean I mentioned certainly does perform as most Sangean radio sets do, just take a look at the reviews for the Sangean wooden cabinet radio at the CCrane web site. Actually there are a few models of these and CCrane has the digital model. I have both the digital and

Well, it depends what you want. I've used portables as table radios before. If you want something to match the woodwork in your kitchen, then these won't work, you are right. I have not used the Sangean in a wood cabinet, and maybe that's going to do the job, but my experience has been that r

Dane, I just wouldn't expect this to be a problem with a double-tuned loop. It has been pretty common for medium wave radios to only have single conversion even when the short wave bands have double conversion. If the loop tunes too broadly, a strong medium wave station can theoretically over

Hi! Since the CC EP radio got a mention in a roundabout way I'd like to say a few words regard this set. Yep, its very sensitive no doubt about that but it does have some problems and this is understandable given the price, after all $70.00 is a very small price to pay for a radio. If you're

You should probably check out the C. Crane Company and their CC Radios. They are larger portables but would work as a table radio. The web site is http://www.ccrane.com/ and they stress AM sensitivity, and the FM is pretty good as well. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Fri, 27 May 2011 20:19

I am looking to find an A M F M table radio which doesn't cost much more than $100 U.S. The primary considerations are sensitivity, selectivity, image rejection, and of course sound quality. Although I don't really care whether it is PLL or analog, I doubt that much analog stuff is being manu
