I have been reading the specs on the newer 2-AAA battery type of SI48XX chips. These ALL show very stubby ferrite rods as being acceptable. Meh, poor MW design right from the chip-maker.
In the move towards consumerism, some enthusiasts will be dissapointed.

This auction might stay below the radar. Note that the bonus Jensen radio might be a sleeper---a great beater radio.

I have that Jensen; AM/FM reception is just ok; weather band reception good in my area; haven't tested the "weather alert" function. It was a cheap thrift-store find. The Panasonic looks really nice, haven't seen that model anywhere before.
