Time to switch to FM.

There's no sports talk radio on FM.

AM is for early risers only....

Alas, you can't totally escape from AM signal interference, whether you're in a moving vehicle or walking around inside a building.

Get Live365 mobile for your iPhone or Blackberry phone so you can tune into my Sock Hop Oldies station for interference-free listening on the go.

As George Nitta would say...you need to use Delco Batteries!

Re: Problems catching radio signals

So when is the last time you changed the batteries?

It's the same with new batteries.

I also can't hear AM stations in stores with an Electronic Dept. such as Don Quijote or Walmart. I can hear the stations in supermarkets.

Re: Radios on TheBus

So are you hearing static or some other kind of noise?

It's more of a loud buzzing sound from one end of the dial to the other end. So, It's impossible to land on any station.

Re: Radios on TheBus

Are the AM radio stations signals bad out at the country areas even on the older buses?

Yes, reception starts crapping out towards Wahiawa, and don't sit in the rear near the engine.
I havn't dealt with it recently, but I'd imagine even the newest buses are the same.

Re: Radios on TheBus

So are you hearing static or some other kind of noise? By any chance is the inside of a hybrid bus has more noise than the older buses?

Re: Radios on TheBus

The bus motor's magneto's (or sumtin ladat) interfere with reception, so you have to put your radio next to the window at just the right spot/angle and keep repositioning it as the bus navigates. Frustrating, I know, that's another reason I was glad to end long country commutes.

I'm only in town. Are the AM radio stations signals bad out at the country areas even on the older buses? I have no problem hearing the AM stations on the older buses when riding in the Honolulu area.

I have no idea on this since I don't use a radio on TheBus.

Why can't I hear the AM stations on my walkman whiile riding in the new hybrid buses? I can't listen to ESPN 1420.
