2020 RTL, No AM Radio?

[bikerbillone]

Just found out that I can't find AM, guess it isn't there, FM is there and works fine. No big issue I suppose.

AM still exists? :shocked:

[bikerbillone]

Wow, great response!

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:

BRP engineers probably concluded that amplitude modulation circuitry was far to heavy and the 2020 frame would need strengthening . :joke::joke::joke:

Where do you find this "talk radio"? The last time I (accidentally) tuned in the AM band, all I heard were sports and ARGUMENT radio, neither of which am I a fan. :thumbup:

Talk radio exists, it's all part of cultural media, you know, similar to TV news. Yep, I will miss it, but I can live without it. I simply posted that I noticed it was missing, I thought it was odd, first vehicle I ever purchased with no AM radio, I do notice there is FM.

On the motorcycle, I always listen to MP3s anyway.

Since 2018 the new dash they removed the AM bande.

There is talk radio on FM, just not many.

I am no longer a fan of talk radio. I like to listen to older country music stations. Many can be found on the FM band. We use our radio minimally though. We prefer to carry on bike to bike communication. Thank you Sena. :yes:

 

[bikerbillone]

Gotta agree with you on that Traveler, lovin' those country classics, play them on my harmonica oh yeah. Mp3 is my friend. I'm am aware that AM/FM has it's limitations, like running out of range. As my original post, it is no biggie on my 2020, I was just surprised it was not there.

In the parts of the country I have toured, road alerts are broadcast on the AM band. Set up by local DOTs with a limited range. I found them useful..... Jim

Has the weather band also been deleted?

 

[ollicat]

IHeartRadio for your AM stations. Much better anyways

 

[bikerbillone]

Guess I could do that app and blue tooth it.

 

[trikermutha]

Is there a external Am radio that can be plugged into the USB? Not suggesting a app that can use Data. But a small receiver that can be used versus an APP.

There is an Auxiliary Audio input in the Glovebox. You could plug in a portable tuner and you would be in business.
