spyderI have a Rice Krispie radio on my

[BuddaBelly]

Good Morning all:

I have a 2012 RT SE5 with the A/C package. My problem is with the Snap, Crackle and Pop in the radio trying to listen to a local or any station. My dealership had it for 2 1/2 days and could not find any issue. I hook up my XM radio through the MP3 port and the Rice Krispie syndrome goes away. I am thinking it could be the antenna, which has been replaced because it fell off, or the block the antenna connects to or the cable from the antenna to the radio.

Anyhow, any info you may be able to suggest sure would be appreciated. My CB radio and goodies will be installed in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Ed

That's how mine sounds if I try to pick up anything in the AM bands... But FM is fairly decent. It sounds as if the antenna has become disconnected from the receiver; or you're set to "AM". (Which is pretty doubtful... :roflblack

Mine was so bad that the dealer replaced the radio on my 2010 ac under warrantee.

Similar gripe here. AM reception is pretty bad. FM is better--but still dubious. Any rides out of town, and various mountain ranges block the signals. Very rarely do I use the radio these days. We have them on both :spyder2:,s, and I would rather have paid about $1000 less per :ani29: based on the use I get.

We use our communicators and just talk bike to bike. Did have Cardo 2's, and the FM on them was also dubious at best. The new Sena's seem to work well--but have not installed them on the helmets or tried them in the "field" yet.

I have not had any trouble with mine on the 2011 RT Limited. I also have a shorty antenna installed.
