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?
I have (3) Hallicrafter R-274's here, Kim and an (on loan) RCA AR-88.
I've thumbed a 75A-4, HQ-145, HQ-180, SX-28 a couple of Nationals and
several various solid-state devices.
I like the SX-28, the AR-88 and R-274's as 1, 2 and 3.
It's hard to beat push-pull audio in a receiver, though.
A good working SX-28 has more sensitivity. The AR-88 is -hot- as well..
I guess those two are a tie. The R-274's are plenty sensitive and, like
the AR-88, receive in a very b-r-o-a-d mode, but they just don't have
the 'depth' of sound that the -28 and the -88 have.
