That would be the first thing I would do if the power/cell service was out and the emergency sirens were going for a while.
Not too sure I agree with a mandate to require a radio to be installed in every new vehicle as there are a few reasons I can imagine someone would order a car/truck without one. Maybe they intend to immediately replace the factory system with a full on custom block thumper or a company doesn't want their employees to get any funny ideas by listening to NPR or something.
- ghaff 2y agoI’m not sure I’d know how to listen to AM radio over the air. Don’t think my Honda has one. Don’t know about my stereo receiver. Think I have a many decades old transistor radio in th house somewhere because I ran across it a few years back.
- uxp100 2y agoIt is very likely both your Honda and your receiver tune in AM.
- al_borland 2y agoUsually you press some kind of source of band button they will toggle through your options. AM/FM, or AM/FM/XM/CD/AUX/CarPlay/etc. Once you’re on AM, it works just like FM from a user perspective. Just tune to the station you want, or hunt until you hear words or music instead of static.
- ghaff 2y agoProbably the case. I've just never had occasion to use AM so I've never looked for it.
