I have a Grundig. It seams to work very well up here, better than any I've had but other than that I'm not sure how to measure it?

I bought a cc/crane 159$? Bought it so I could get weather reports in my wall tent in the winter while trapping middle of nowhere for heads up on any blizzards headed my way. So far I haven’t been disappointed been able to get two or three AM and 1 or 2 FM every where I’ve gone. Plug in or D cell batteries. Definitely not a stereo but it does kinda knock the tinnitus down. Glad I bought it and would buy again if I had it to do over.

Dad and I got baofeng uv82hp. Got a longer antenna than what came with it. Can load around100 channels in it. I loaded all the FRS, GSMR, MARINE BANDS, WEATHER, and a few more. The big is just learning the radio capabilities.

Is anyone on here into that stuff?
Can you reccomend one that actually works like advertised.
You read about cc/c crane and two or three others.
I need a new radio for my garage.
Thanks Marty Do a search on AM Loop Antennas. I made one for my radio in the garage, it has improved reception quite a bit. Just an option...
Let's go Brandon!

When I was a kid I had an antenna made from two wire coat hangers. Just pulled them up so had simple square twisted the hanger ends together so had a basically a wire box.. had that mounted outside the window to my bed room got stations from all over US and Canada.. Got to be a ton of simple antennas out there guy can buy off the net.. This simple set up of mine was just to receive. I would think you'd need different if looking to transmit too..
