[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[Mark K3MSB]

Terry --

I've also be using a Drake 2-B and 2-BQ for 10M AM since April of this
year.   I concur with Stu W7FE's coments except that the wide filter
position is a little too narrow (3.6 Khz).  For 10M work I've found it to
be a minor problem,  but you may find it to be more of an issue on 40M.
If you're leaning towards hi fidelity audio,  I don't think you'll be
pleased with the 2-B (although it's a very sensitive receiver).

My "mainstay" receiver for AM is an SX-101A.  I've been running that for
over 10 years and find it pleasant to use for CW and AM work; good
selectivity and sensitivity.

John W3JN did a nice writeup about receivers best, and worst, suited for AM
work:

BTW,  why do you require 1 Khz dial read out?
