to manually tune in every time you want to listen.

Improving poor AM sound
The simplest way to improve the sound quality of AM
radio is to make sure that the TV in the room is switched
off. Also try changing the position and direction of the
AM loop antenna.

the above, you may be able to improve it using a different
