[bars] Looking for suggestions for good AM Broadcast Table Top Radio Receiver

[Steven Schultz]

Hi All,

It seems the club has several Shortwave and AM Broadcast Radio Listeners.

After a fair amount of discussion with the Sat AM Zoom meeting and speaking
with my brother who is the one looking to improve his AM radio reception I
thought I would ask BARS for comments.

For AM radio reception my brother seems to want to limit his choice to a
tabletop radio with good AM radio reception, includes FM broadcast radio
reception, good audio, and if needed an external tabletop AM loop antenna
about a foot in diameter.

Radio receiver in $200 price range.
Loop antenna in $20-30 price range.

He is excluding radio over the internet and WiFi radio.
Also excluding SDR.

Not presently concerned with SW listening.

I suggested he look at radio manufacturers like:
C. Crane
Sangean
Grundig

What about Sony?

AM Loop Antennas from:
Kaito
Tecsun
Terk

Model: AN-200.

I also mentioned radio equipment suppliers like:
Crutchfield (He said he could not find tabletop radios here)
Ham Radio Outlet ( for SW listener receivers )
DX Engineering  ( for SW listener receivers )

Thanks

Steve
