depending on just how old your radios are it may not be worth it. however AM is still legal as long as the RX is dural conversion. I would not think AM Rx would be all that expensive. however, it may need some tuning adjustments which all radios need from time to time anyway.you paying for technician time more than anything.
It's NOT the RX that is the problem. The TX needs to narrow banded to avoid conflict with adjacent channels. If they are old enough they may not even be on legal channels on top of that. As he said in his original post, NOT worth the cost IMO.

The RX could be a pizza and nobody would care, it would be legal. Just not very effective.
AM is still legal. what you should do is block off the adjacent chanels to avoid the problem- read mr Stillmans RC REPORT COLUMN PLS!!! SOME OF THE kRAFT/PROLINE might be worth it depending on condition.
