It is generally believed that the move to eliminate? AM radios in? cars is political not technical .Most conservative programs are on the AM radio band.

The 4-Runner was a standard internal combustion engine.? The Ford Lightning
is an EV.? With the EV's comes a massive amount of RFI.? It's so bad that
manufacturers are eliminating AM radio from their vehicles.
I'd venture a guess the problem is not with the antenna, but with the EV
technology in general.

Enclosed is the photo of a car antenna's mounting.? Note it is a single
pin.? Also enclosed is a picture of my Baofeng's antenna post.? Note that
the car antenna is a single post/pin.? The Baofeng's antenna has a pin
inside a mounting.? Thus, to measure the Baofeng's antenna you simply
connect it to the nanavna.? How to do the car antenna???
The reason I ask is experience with my old Toyota 4Runner's radio and my
new Ford Lightning's radio.? The 4Runner radio would work 50 to 80 miles
from a tower.? The Lightning will start to fade 20 miles from the same
towers.? Is the fault with the antenna or the radio???
Thank you for any cogent answer.? ? ? ? ? larry
