I can usually get Caroline if the set is not in the workbench area, e.g. outside or the other side of the room. So yes, probably local SMPS interference.
I think the companies existed at different times though. I can't find a lot of info about Eagle but Fidelity was from just after WW2, long before Eagle I believe (and it ended up as part of Amstrad).
That thing looks _pretty_ cheap. How does it compare performance wise? These bottom of the barrel radios can be good sometimes! (Eg, the Sears 8 track clock radio I have is fairly sensitive on AM.)
Sensitivity is good on FM, less so on AM and it picks up a lot of interference on AM (as I mentioned in another comment re. Radio Caroline). Eagle was never a premium manufacturer, they were at the bottom end of the hi-fi market and this radio doesn't have the quality of a Grundig or Sony of the time, but it's not too bad.
@@neilsradios Tbf, I have a Sony boombox that's mediocre on AM and FM, so that Eagle thing isn't doing absolutely terribly. There's also my Sony Dream machine which I really wish was more sensitive.
Very nice and informative
Nice radio 📻 love it😮
I live not far from you and get a massive Radio Caroline signal! Must be very electrically noisy at your location there😢

Am not sure, I think Eagle may have been a brand of Fidelity as they both use rad as a model name. Does anyone know for sure.
