FM/AM Tuner under around $500


I am looking to purchse a tuner but I do not really know the terminology involved or what the numbers associated with those words actually mean. If anybody can help on the following list it would be appreciated.

Selectivity:

Harmonic Distortion:

Separation:

S/N Ratio:

Capture Ratio:

Also if you have any product ideas for me to look and that as well ($500 range)

thanks for your input guys, very informative. I know I want to go digital and put tuning in stations above sound quality (although both are important). My main purpose is too get as many public radio stations as possible. There is great station about 45 mins to 1 hr from me but they have a weak signal.
