[ARC5] BC-453 (or R-23) in AM reception.

[Leslie Smith]

  Hi list-readers,
  Suppose a converter is used ahead of a navigation set such as an
  BC-453 so that the set is used to listed to an AM broadcast station.
  Given that the station of interest has mostly spoken content and
  little music, will the narrow band-width allow some sort of reasonable
  reception?
  Would the narrow frequency response make reception simply too
  "military communication quality" to endure?

  I'm aware that the core of the IF transformers can be pushed "in" to
  give a broader IF response.

  Has any-one here used a BC-453 or R-23 to listen to the BC band in
  this way?
  I'm particularly interested in that point.
