AM radio and Max (Mac?) Richmond

[Paul Anderson]

I don’t remember being able to change the AM frequency or what it was, but there was no problem with my FM converter even living near WPOP at 1410.  What a thrill it was to listen to FM in the car in those days!

I don't remember what the range was, but you could probably move it about 50 kHz to get it away from a local frequency.  It came out of the box at 1400 (more or less, given the analog tuner in the converter and the AM radio it was attached to).
