The SRF-42's touchy tunning is related to the design of the SRF-42 itself.
Due to the SRF-42s size there is not a lot of room for an expanded dial
scale.  As you know I have been contending on this mailing list that there
is very little consumer demand for AM stereo. So I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting for a lot of choice in AM stereo capable receivers.

Here's a link to an AM stereo site on the internet that's worth checking
out:
