Russ, I would say that the AM sensitivity is above average. Probably 
not like that of an old GE Superadio, but better than usual these 
days.

After listening to the podcast, I have a question and comment.

What is the selectivity and sensitivity like on am?
I like the fact it comes with a am loop antenna.  This means I can use 
my
inductive coupled am loop for improved am reception.  This also means 
one
can use the Twin Coil Ferrite am antenna with this radio.
I like the fact it has a aux in for connecting my Victor Reader Stream 
to
it.

Best Buy is now offering an HD Radio with talking features through its
Insignia product line.

If you want to hear more about this radio, known as the Narrator, you
can download the Tek Talk podcast from this week, or listen to it from
the home page of www.accessibleworld.org.

The run time is 1 hour and 8 minutes.
The Narrator can only be purchased online or over the telephone at
this time.

Through this Saturday, June 9, it is $89.95. After then, it is $99.95.

For those who want to order it online, go to www.bestbuy.com. Type
"narrator + radio" including the quotes into the search box on the
site. If you only type the word "Narrator," you get a list of a bunch
of music from a band called "The Narrators."

You can also order the Narrator by calling Best buy at
1 888 237 8289.

Someone here in Mississippi told me that they found the telephone
staff to be very helpful.
