I live in Baltimore and there have been both AM and FM stations in
WAshington which came in fine in my car, on two different radios of
the same style, and on my friend's car radio.

But badly if at all in the house. Over the years I've tried 10 or
more table radios and 2 stereo tuners, some pretty expensive. One AM
radio station WRC never came in at all in the house, and WAMU and WCSP
will come in somehwat on some radios and won't at all on others (and
price doesn't seem to matter. Some of the cheapest work the best)

You need a better antenna, not a different radio. Can you mount a whip on
the house? Radio Shack used to sell a suitable model.
