AM radio reception -
Hi - I realize this may be a low-tech question, but I too am looking for the best portable AM radio reception - I have no problem bringing a separate device, along with my pocket PC and Satellite radio. I just want to pick up the local sports station, too, and keeping buying little radios on a trial and error basis. Can anyone out there share their experience with portable radios with the best AM reception? Also, I bought the Cambridge Soundworks cd player - table radio, plugged in the AM antenna, and still have terrible AM reception - though it comes in fine in my car (I guess I should just hang out in there!). I think it would also help if I understood how AM reception works. So, please, you AM radio + audio tech types, post some anwers for me!
Thanks!
