    Default Portable AM radio

    Any suggestions on a good Portable AM radio???

    I'm off to the IOM TT at the end of the month and I'll need one to keep up with all that's going on. I think half the island is ok with FM but there will be days I need AM. I'd rather not find out how bad my potential purchase is when I need it!!!!!

    Should also say I need to be able to carry it on my bike and it must run off batts.

    I have been using one of THESE when I go angling. I run it off four Lithium AA cells. Good reception on AM

    A couple of comments on ebay from owners of one

    Cheers guys.......I'd forgotten that I've got an old Hacker and a Roberts Doh!!! I'll try those before I make a purchase.

    Been after doing the TT for years............ If you don't know what it's about or even if you do.......

    I went 3 times in the early 80's. Watching Joey Dunlop winning and getting rat arsed on Manx ale was a great feeling.

    Mad Sunday was also great fun...!!!
