Comments about Deluxe AM/FM Shortwave Field Radio:
The radio has great selectivity and very good directivity on both AM and FM. You can home in on a signal and block unwanted signals with ease. Although I like a bit 'hotter' sensitivity, I cannot argue with the great response that this radio has on AM and FM. That was a nice surprise. For the money I think this is one of the best radios available.
