Yup, I can pick up the plasma from the AM radio in the garage. The plasma is very directional in its radiation pattern.

Not to compare with the Sony 2010, but maybe the much cheaper 7600 would work for you. It's got some pretty good features, works fine for me but I don't try to do anything fancy with it. I have some older Sangeans too. Their front end is very sensitive and can be subject to the same probs as in the 2010.

I've been looking for a new/small portable lately too. A couple of the C Cranes seem OK (for me), I was thinking of the Skywave, mainly I just wanted decent AM (preferably a la the original GE Superadio, but not to be). Hard to get a decent AM-only radio without having to buy a ton of extra features these days.

Edit: I don't know what you're actually trying to do, so my suggestions are probably stupid. When other devices emit RF interference, pretty hard for an AM radio receiver to not pick them up. Even my really good radios with decent outdoor antennas will.
