Hi,
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I have an Eton Elite at $about $120 from HRO Salem. Also there is a more expensive Eton radio priced at about $400.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The Eton Elite requires an external wire antenna.

It seems the club has several Shortwave and AM Broadcast Radio Listeners.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
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.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
For AM radio reception my brother seems to want to limit his choice to a
</div>
<div>
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.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Radio receiver in $200 price range.
</div>
<div>
Loop antenna in $20-30 price range.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
He is excluding radio over the internet and WiFi radio.
</div>
<div>
Also excluding SDR.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Not presently concerned with SW listening.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I suggested he look at radio manufacturers like:
</div>
<div>
C. Crane
</div>
<div>
Sangean
</div>
<div>
Grundig
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
What about Sony?
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
AM Loop Antennas from:
<br>Kaito
</div>
<div>
Tecsun
</div>
<div>
Terk
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Model: AN-200.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I also mentioned radio equipment suppliers like:
</div>
<div>
Crutchfield (He said he could not find tabletop radios here)
</div>
<div>
Ham Radio Outlet ( for SW listener receivers )
</div>
<div>
DX Engineering ( for SW listener receivers )
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Thanks
</div>
