tuner: no AM receiving - 05/10/2001 05:42

I installed the tuner mod, the FM reception is very good, but I can't receive AM waves... (Belgium)
What's wrong?

Your antenna probably has a built-in amplifier which is not powered for some reason. Search around the board for similar threads for details.

I also receive practically zero stations on AM. The stations I do recieive are VERY faint, but the signal strength shows five bars. My setup includes an antenna Y-splitter that also serves my Alpine head unit.
The Alpine receives AM stations the same with or without the splitter. The Rio also receives AM stations the same
(albeit zero) with or without the splitter.

I was a little frustrated last night when I drove to the store and couldn't receive the SF Giants game!

That's odd, My AM is louder that the FM.
