Roadie,

Let's see . . . My 1995 Jeep GCL's AM/FM Radio only uses a
Whip Antenna -HEY- Wait a minute just about every Car and
Truck on the Road uses 'only' a Whip Antenna -and- They all
generally get better AM & FM Radio reception then most Home
Radios with an AM/MW Ferrite Rod Antenna.

FWIW - The Grundig Satellit 800-M only has a 4" AM/MW
Ferrite Rod Antenna.
- - - The Ferrite Rod Antenna is the better Bi-Directional Antenna.


I think we agree....a rod antenna can work on am.
