    Hi, I am currently trying to decide if the R-4B would be good for AM 
reception in the ham bands.  I would like to use the radio with my 
Johnson Viking Ranger II.  I am currently leaning toward the R-4B 
because of cost and all the good things I have heard and read about it.  
I was told that the R-4B filters may be to narrow for really good AM?  
Others have said that this is not true and that the R-4B would make a 
fine receiver for AM.  Anyone use this receiver for AM and are there any 
mods that I should or could do to improve the AM?  I like everything 
about the R-4B just have concerns about using it for AM.  I will also 
use the radio for SSB and some light CW use so I don't want to degrade 
the radio in these areas.  Thanks in advance for your help and input. 

                                              Al N7IOH
