Cleared up distortion in am band

"I use it for AM talk radio. The reception is excellent but it does not have the far range that it advertises.My other radio easily received a Kentucky station that I listened to at nite, this radio pretty much just gets about a 300 mile range.The clear sound makes up for the loss in range. I would recommend it. Good portable radio when just using batteries...." Read Full Review »

"Excellent reception & sound quality as-is with its built-in antennae! Use a simple long-wire and a ground wire and re-discover those wonderful "Clear Channel AM Stations". The External Antenna posts are ready to use.

"This is actually the 3rd Super Radio I've owned. The first two were GE's that I gave to family a few years ago; now I have the RCA (as well as other family members without one). I haven't found a great deal of difference between the GE and RCA versions.
