I don't know why either.I know Shortwave Radios for cars used to be sold
in U.S.A.not long ago.I was in New Orleans about ten years ago and I
bought a cheapo radio for my van and I saw a sign there about Shortwave
Radios (Blaupunkt Shortwave Radios) for cars and the store also
installed them too.I installed my own cheapo Krayco radio in my van.
