I have 2) 97's both w/ odd reception on am (political junkie) sometimes lots of static, sometimes no reception driving & sometimes none just setting still engine off. Any help?? Intermittent. No, I'm not going to put in a doodah radio!!

 

If they both do the same thing, and you live in the NW woods and marsh, is it really the radios?

I get bad reception just 30 miles from Seattle from all the huge trees.

 

You could try a new cable for the antenna on one of them. The stock radios are crappy though. You can get a fairly plain Pioneer for less than $100.

 

Only problem with the stock radios is the wattage output. Replacement radios are terrible, cheap, chinese crap.

 

Thank you, where is the static coming from, get it sometimes other times not

 

I'm no help as I don't know how radios operate. But I remember my Dad's 82 Chevy C10 that had the AM antennae in the windshield. Always thought that was cool.
