I would, if so many of the stations I wanted to listen to in the daytime (560-KBLU, 580-KSAZ, 660-KTNN or 660-KWVE, 680-KNBR, 700-KALL (as for last 2, 77kW 690-XEWW 32 miles distant could be a challenge), 720-KDWN, 770-KCBC or 770-K780-KAZM, 810-KGO, 840-KXNT, 870-KRLA, 890-KLFF, 920-KPSI (5kW 910-KECR at 9.3 miles is probably a challenge here), 960-KIXW, 970-KNWZ- 980-KFWB, 1010-KXPS, 1100-KFNX, 1110-KDIS, 1140-KNWQ (being 6.3 miles from 10kW 1130-KSDO probably doesn't help), 1150-KTLK, 1180-KERN (being 9.3 miles from 50kW 1170-KCBQ I'm sure doesn't help), 1200-KYAA, 1230-KXO, 1260-KGIL, 1290-KZSB, 1300-KROP, 1320-KKSM, 1340-KCLU, 1350-KTDD (5kW 1360-KLSD splatters and covers the desired signal on my PL-380 from 8.3 miles away even in 1kHz BW mode, like the previously mentioned pests also do to their nearby desired signals), 1380-KLPZ, 1400-KESQ or 1400-KKZZ, 1430-KWST, 1440-KFNY, 1460-KTYM, 1490-KGBA or 1490-KSPE, 1510-KSPA, 1520-KVTA, 1560-KNZR) weren't so badly obliterated by desense, or in some cases, splatter. Most of the listed stations, except a few, are completely unreadable on my Panasonic RQ-SW20 in the daytime, my previous radio for which I've been trying to find a replacement that will hear at least most of those stations as strong as possible without any side splatter. I would have added a few more stations to the list, but IBOC from some stations 10kHz away would have covered them up anyway, and only 1 or 2, IIRC, were barely readable before the stations started using IBOC.
I'm basically wondering if my PL-380 is the only one that desenses so badly near strong signals. For example, 1170-KCBQ (non-IBOC) reads 77,25 on the G8 (which is going back to the store today), and on my PL-380 reads 45,00 on 1150 and 43,00 on 1190. The manual for the PL-606 states selectivity as >60dB at +/-9kHz in 3kHz BW mode, and therefore I'd expect to see 17,00 on 1161 and 1179 kHz on that radio (I don't have one) without any trace of audible splatter at all (which is audible to some degree from 1155 to 1185 on my PL-380 in 3kHz BW mode).

I've already proven that the elevated RSSI readings is actually desense and not just high ambient noise, by the reduced readings when the strong signal is nulled. Interestingly, the audible noise is actually LOUDER on the signals that aren't desensed so bad (for example, noise on a 15,00 sounds considerably louder than on a 45,00 channel). This seems to indicate to me that although there's no audio splatter heard very far beyond a channel, there could still be some form of side signal in there somewhere that's made it through the radio's filters. Also, I've noticed at least one, if not more cases, where a signal was noticeably more readable at a location farther away from a nearby pest, even though it was also farther away from the desired signal. For example, KDIS-1110 indicates about 43dBu RSSI, 0dB SNR a couple miles south of El Cajon, CA (112 miles to KDIS, 10kW pest 1130-KSDO is 72,25 on the G8 from 6.3 miles away), and is about 15dBu RSSI, 10dB SNR at Cameron Corners, CA (135 miles to KDIS, KSDO's directional signal reads 25,25 here on the PL-380).

I'm looking forward to learning more about the PL-606's performance, for example to see if it measures up to the specs in the manual. If it does, then maybe that radio might at least enable me to hear some of the stations I want to hear. (I didn't originally come here to participate in contests, I originally came to see about finding a radio with which I could hear several stations I wanted to listen to that were usually inaudible on my Panasonic RQ-SW20, and I knew I wanted to keep it in the ultralight size and price range, as I was looking for a not-too-expensive pocket AM radio.)
