[IRCA] ANNUAL CAR RADIO QUERY

[Pete Taylor <ptdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know we go through this annually but things change as new radios  
come out. I am in the market for a "new" pre-owned (aka "used") car  
so would appreciate your sharing your experiences:

A. What "old" car radios have been the best for DXing for you? I  
wouldn't buy a car specifically for the radio but as long as I am  
looking around, I  might as well make this a consideration.
B. Regardless of the car, what reasonably functional car radio would  
you (or did you) go out of your way to buy?

In all cases, I don't care about CD or cassette capability since I  
use cassette and CD players in conjunction with a little FM stereo  
transmitter for this.

Currently I am driving a 92 Buick Park Avenue which is average but  
which is dreadful when it comes to overload near transmitters. I test  
drove a 99 Buick last week; it was absolutely deathly.

Thanks. If response is sufficient, I will keep a file on it for next  
year when someone else asks the same question.
