AM radio static
« on: October 02, 2006 - 06:26:12 PM »
I am having trouble dialing AM stations. I end up with a great deal of static even with local stations. Is there a filter or something I can install to reduce or eliminate the static and if so how do I do it?

Condenser in the distributor
Condenser on the gauges
Good resistor plug wires & plugs
be sure antenna & radio are well  grounded
There are in-line filers available, check Radio Shack
& believe it or not a ground strap to your hood.
Any bad ground or misbehaving device can create RF noise esp. Alternator

3 radio condensors, alternator, coil and dash and also proper trimming of the radio.

I haven't listened to a AM station in 30 years.  They still have them :clueless:

Yes they still have them...

The stations usally have talk.sports, weather and the current dinosour conditions to help you through the morning commute.
