Radios
I am looking to buy a radio that will give me reception in semi remote areas. Is there such a product? I am staying at a campsite with limited cell coverage and no radio reception. Thanks

What do you want from the radio?
Entertainment programming, go satellite.
Reception of local stations for news, weather, learning about the regional culture, a good antenna on a set with good AM tuner, because FM just doesn't go very far, line of sight limited like microwave and TV.
I haven't found a good AM tuner in a car radio (or a home entertainment receiver, for that matter) for about 35-40 years. It is not a priority, we don't listen to AM if we can get something with more bandwidth per station.
Desktop sets, I used to like Hallicrafters receivers. Becker-Mexico or Philips multi-bands in cars. All that is collector stuff today, huge prices if it works.
