I tend to primarily listen to AM stations, especially when on the road. I've picked up AM1000 from Seattle while driving near Bar(f)stow, CA, and I can pick up AM640 in L.A. out here in Colorado. Mostly better at night, though. ?_________ |_|_|\____\___ l-----[O]&#8801;&#8801;&#8801;&#8801;[O] ()_)()_)-----)_) Stay the Trail!

XM 165 gets your most common Clear Channel shows including Coast to Coast AM. That and XM 202 are my most used channels. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Richard E 1989 Montero - Stock-ish 1989 V6 Auto Raider - 5.3 Vortech Swap. 1987 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6t, soon to be 3.5 1983 Honda XL600R Re: AM Radio [Re: Tcloud] #898894 08/06/08 04:10 AM Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 29 Oak Hills Calif T Tcloud OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Thanks Guys. Its just all the static. I use to get it clear but now when I,am driving I hear the static like its coming from the plug wires. If I let off the gas it will go away some what. Like I said this just started and the wires are only about a year old and the same for the plugs. I like AM 640 and I,am only about 70 miles away.

I would check your radio connections, clean anything that even looks like it has a thin film of dirt on it. You'd be amazed with what can be accomplished with a bit of time and a wire brush.
