One of my pet peeves with the vx is that when I enter stations into
memory on 10 kHz spacing and then change over to 9 kHz spacing, the
memories are erased, and are not restored when I switch back to 10 kHz.
Therefore the memories are useless to me for AM.

Trouble is that CCrane's reputation for quality is marginal and none of
their receivers I am aware of match up in terms of either sensitivity
or selectivity.
