First let me explain, I work outdoors and listen to the radio all day every day. 4 hours of AM radio and 3 hours of FM every day. My armband radio works well for FM and some AM stations, but I need something with the best possible AM reception. I have never tried a scanner, do they get better AM reception?
I understand that am radios use a ferrite rod antenna, do scanners also have those or do they have a different type? If they do, what scanner brand/model has the largest ferrite rod?
Which brand/model of scanner has the best AM reception?
Any suggestions on how to increase AM reception on a walkman would also be appreciated.
In short here is what I want to buy. A small size portable scanner with great AM reception, and can also be used for listening at nascar races.
