AM RADIO!! YOU RT guys are still listening to AM radio.. hahahahhahahahaha
Do you guys hand-crank the engine to start the RT as well?

Luckily the aggressive performance styling of the RS doesn't allow for AM signals to penetrate our airspace. Thats why they didn't add that ancient AM technology to the RS platform

There is a very large audience out there for Talk Radio formats. With talk there really isn't any reason for stereo seperation and with AM frequencies the coverage is larger. Especially for the 50KW stations. Now with AM HD (High Def) even stereo sounds really good on the AM band. (However, it takes a HD radio to receive it.) So don't write off AM radio yet.

IMHO

AM radio isn't sustainable and the HD (hybrid digital) is just propping up a dead cat for a nice photo.

Pod casts of the Talk Radio giants will be the coming thing.
None of them really like to take calls.

I noticed when listening to 1210 AM or any other talk show, the hosts just talk on and on for 90% of the time. Once in a blue moon they let someone else have the floor. LOL. I really only wanted AM for some news and weather. Of course, I forgot that NOAA is on there also. Thanks for all your opinions. I haven't tried checking out the antenna as far as a possible loose connection goes. Do I have to take the trunk apart to get to it or just remove the rubber boot. I am concerned about breaking all the Tupperware parts. LOL. I just noticed from the Green Manual CD I purchased a couple of weeks ago, that you have to lift out the trunk by removing 6 screws, including 4 in the side compartments.
