Thanks for responses.

Re antenna: Ideally, I'd install an amplified antenna at the rear of the
vehicle--as far from ignition noise as possible.

It's striking that SW is not made available to the US market. Makes one wonder a
bit...

Sorry to ask what must be a perennial question, but is a car radio now
available for US market which will get me here on the west coast the big
international stations (Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Japan,
BBC)? Along with FM and 10k-spaced AM? And preferably with selectable
sideband and synchronous detection, like on my Sony 2010 at home?
(Having lived with these features, I don't see why anyone would make a
receiver without them.) And, ideally, with CD player also?

But I'd take just the SW part of all this, if it could be wired into the
car system. ('94 Mercury Villager)

I have a feeling that it did not really take off here is because the US broadcasters
really can't target listeners here in the USA, so there isn't/wasn't any commercial
interest in the medium.

That may be it, it may not.
