If you are talking about the Zenith "High Fidelity"
...I have some. NO tuned RF stage on AM, but they are
quite sensitive, and quite wide. FM does have PTO.
Hearing one playing standard bandwidth music on AM
makes you wonder this about IBOC....WHY?


I do have a Zenith AA6. Yes an all American 6, the
extra tube for the tuned RF stage. AM only. Moves
air....
