Tony, I wonder if that is because:
1. Battery sets are not connected to the power line.
2. More modern sets have a "ferrite loopstick" that, I think, is somehow more immune to EMI. I have a lot less issues with transistor or even tube sets with a loopstick than with either the usual flat coil or external antenna.

Folks like Dale, John Mike, etc. with Commercial Broadcast or HAM experience, or EE degrees may know better. I am speaking from empirical evidence.
"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8
"Let us begin to do good"- St. Francis

Best Regards,
