Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem: I'm riding along on my 2014 RT Limited, listening to a local AM radio station (very close ...not a distant station), when I begin to get a lot of interference. To make a long story short: I eventually realized the problem is my antenna. As it "rocks" back and forth (with the movement of the bike), it causes interference. I can park the bike (sit still), with a clear am radio signal, then bend the top of antenna back a couple inches and let it go which starts the antenna to rocking back and forth, which starts the interference. As the rocking slows down, the interference slows down until the antenna is still once again ...and the interference slows to a stop. I can't find any connection problems and FM and weather radio work just fine. The antenna is snug and seems to be perfectly installed in it's bracket. But the interference is definitely related to the rocking antenna. I can see/hear the interference with the movement of the antenna. When it's perfectly still, the reception is clear as a bell. Anybody else had this problem? If so, what did you do?
