Hi,


The following probably seems like a weird question for a ham list.
However, I want to buy either a general coverage receiver or an HF
ham transceiver which excels at medium wave reception.

I remember reading in Popcom that many general coverage receivers do
not do well at medium wave reception because the circuitry is
optimized for bands above 5 megs.

So I am writing to request recommendations for receivers which excel
at a.m. broadcast band reception but which also do wwell on the
higher bands as well.  While I am asking the question, how well do
the Kenwood 440, 450, and R-5000 do in this area.

If no reasonably priced general coverage receiver does well at this,
then I might as well just get a G E super 3 or perhaps the CC radio.

Thanks for any feedback.
