[AMRadio] Good Receivers for AM

[Mike Duke, K5XU]

In 1981, I traded a piece of equipment to a friend for a Radio Shack 
Realistic DX160.

It was your basic slide rule dile general coverage receiver that reminded me 
of the old S120 that I began listening with in the mid 60s.

I got it primarily as a DX receiver for the AM broadcast band, but it soon 
found the 1885 and 1985 gatherings on 160, along with W5PYT, K5SWK, K4KYV, 
et al on 75 meters.

That receiver stayed with me for several years until someone made me an 
offer I couldn't refuse at the time.

They aren't fancy, and they don't have selectivity enhancements, but they do 
okay for a single conversion unit.
