Just want a good AM portable radio

I don't listen to FM, just AM. I bought a high dollar small AM/FM/sideband/emergency blah blah blah radio; I think German made starts w/ Gund---???? Any way besides the sleep, scan, clock and rest of BS- AM was marginal except for the Mexican stations.
Any one have a suggestion? Want small, 8-10"x2"x5-6"??? Years ago had an ol ivory colored dial AM only radio that took 8 C batteries; worked great. Didn't use for several years and batteries ate it up :-(

Appreciate it, Shep

    Go to eBay and search for Superadio. GE, RCA and Radio Shack all sold the same units. They are no longer made but you should be able to find a nice one on eBay.

    Grundig perhaps? They are usually fairly sensitive. If you can attach an antenna on it, it might do well.
    If you're beyond the multifunction radio and just want an AM only, it will be an effort to find one. AM/FM will be easier to find. There are some good ones out there for portables. I have an old GE portable and it never fails to pick up a few stations.

    This RCA gets good reviews as does this Sony.
