[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[Brett Gazdzinski]

I never had one, there are a few receivers I never had or tried.
They look good, and are simple enough to work well maybe.

I think they had a 455 KHz IF which opens up the ability to fit a good 
filter in the radio.

Most of the vintage receivers had three major problems in my book, poor 
selectivity, poor frequency resolution, and distortion and/or high 
background noise.

Some vintage receivers sounded very good, but who know what frequency they 
were on and forget about using them under battle conditions.
Others were very accurate (Collins) and loaded with distortion and very poor 
fidelity, others were just way too narrow (Drake).

RME receivers seem sort of rare....
