• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2020 RTL, No AM Radio?

The AM radio bands seem to NOT be on the 2020's anymore. My new 2019 F3 is the same. No AM band...but the sound and distance on the FM bands seems to be further than on the 2014 (which still has the AM band).

The downside...no more talk radio. :roflblack:

You can get all the talk radio you or anyone could ever want on XM Radio

The talk radio comment was more of a joke for me. I have never listened to it on the bike. Country or nothing. I did listen to some talk when I drove my car back and forth to work...but have not done that since 2011. For me...it is now a moot point.

All is good. :bowdown:

I know I was just pulling your leg......the closest to talk radio I do is the Old Time Radio programs on Chan. 148 on XM
The Shadow Knows........
 
There is an Auxiliary Audio input in the Glovebox. You could plug in a portable tuner and you would be in business.

Thanks for the info. Some time back, I shopped Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc. looking for a small transistor radio like we use to have 50-60 years ago. I just wanted something to take along on the golf cart and to our community pool. I'm not into sticking "buds" in my ears and don't want to disturb others with a boom box. I couldn't find anything at the stores. Glad to see that old tech is still available and inexpensive too..... Jim

‘50’s on 5 or ‘60’s on 6 for me. 148 takes too much concentration while I’m riding.

Now, back to The regularly programmed station........
 
We have a 2018 RTL, and I wasn't surprised to not find AM. What I would like to see is NOAA weather radio. Set as a priority station, will interrupt anything else with National Weather Service alerts. Of course, Weatheradio Canada would be included for Canadian riders and trips to the North by us denizens below the 49th parallel.
