Quote:> I love the styling of the prewar radios, but I sure do miss FM on them. There are only three AM stations in town, two are nutball talk and the other is sports talk. I really prefer the programming and fidelity of FM.

I'm with you! I'm also about 4 months into the hobby... The solution to the lack of AM stations is an AM transmitter. I bought an SSTRAN and it works great.
