I'm currently using a Collins R-388 and it does an nice job. I also have
recently used my Collins 75A2 and it's good as well. I prefer the older
Collins line without the mechanical filters. These radios were designed for
AM service. The Collins 75A4 and R-390 are acceptable for AM if they have
the 6 kc filters. I have a Collins R-390A with 2, 4, and 8 kc filters. The 4
kc filter is to narrow and the 8 kc is normally to wide under most
conditions. It still lacks a natural AM sound in my opinion so it's on the
shelf. A real sleeper is the National NC-300. A very solid and fantastic
sounding AM receiver. I have one and will use it when I fix a problem.
Enjoy AM! Joe, KF9EU

Subject: [AMRadio] Receivers
Much of the traffic here concerns transmitters. References to receivers
seem relatively sparse in comparison. With that subjective impression as
an opening, what sort of receivers are in use in the AM community?
