I've seen people reference a news group for radios and am wondering
which
one (found many radio related newsgroups). My questions relate to
improving
AM/FM reception in a valley area. I can get the stations on the car

antennas
hooked up and want to do some research before I find myself at the mercy
of
the radio shack sales guy.

I second the motion. I like to listen to distant AM at night and got one of
the Twin Coil Ferrite Antennas. It worked wonders on my Nakamichi bedside
clock radio which was already way ahead of the typical $20 Wal-mart special.

It is a well made, high-quality device that does for me everything the
testimonials say about it. YMMV.
