Is there one out there that will still get FM/AM radio stations?

Been looking for a bit and most have a few 1 star reviews stating no reception.
Anyone have any luck?

We got some off amazon, Ill have to see which ones when I go to work.


They work fine in the city, but we are on the edge(like 35 miles) away and the newer truck constantly switch back and forth from hd radio to normal radio and its annoying as hell because HD radio is so much louder.

Same, I still get service but gets scratchy outside the city. Not bad though. I’ve torn enough off in the car wash that I don’t care.

This is why we got them. Have no issues picking up baton rouge or new orleans stations on the northshore. It's just the switch between HD radio and regular radio. I wish there was a setting i could just turn off HD radio.

I put this one on my truck last year. It works just as good as the long antenna that came with the truck

+1 for the Rydonair. I've had one on my last 2 trucks and they work good. 2018 F150 and 2024 F150 if that make a difference..

That’s drives me insane. I pretty much keep it on Spotify now unless I have it on throwback Friday on 99.5…

Side story, had a buddy that popped a bunch of light bulbs in his work’s garage with his antenna. Oops
