This is functionally *equivalent* to having 120+ independent and
optimized TRF circuits (one for each channel) -- that's what I
intended to say.

How would each of the 120+ independent TRF circuits get optimized? With a
scope and a sweep and marker generator? Any one of the channels might be
easy enough, but 120 is asking alot. Even moreso, with the complication of
Wide/DX option. And it's not like there a wonderful victory after the
struggle. Wideband AM sometimes sounds very good, and sometimes not.

Have you heard wideband AM?

I have, and its very much better than the low fi crap coming from most
crummy receivers.
Its not up to FM standards, but its very listenable for news, pop,
rythym and blues, folk, interviews, etc.

AM DX is a total waste of time for me.
