Radio reception crap/ worse when motor is cold

Yeah same here. I love to listen to some Chris Isaac, then the next song would be from Pantera, then to some Pink Floyd. But I usually just flick between two radio stations.

Digital radio has that plus more.

I move from talk back to music. My music taste is quite broad so I always find something that I like and if I don't I have a USB ready to go.

Cool, thanx.
Being an amateur muso myself, I'm yet to find out what a digital radio is.
I've been just creating play lists for the in car mp3 player & completely forgot about there's such thing called radio.

What I wish for is a hybrid unit, a combination of a digital radio & a CB radio.

Ah.. mate, you need to start listen to some Jazz and New Age.
Once you get the hang of it, you can't have enough of it.

Yeah I do like Jazz. Can't say I've heard of, or listened to new age.

For some of us new age is anything since the 70's

It's mostly instrumental music. A fusion of Jazz, flamenco, Indian, classical, rock, other folk type music, etc.
Just as relaxing as soft jazz. It can either put you to sleep or wake you up.

These days I listen to these type of music to go to sleep.

I realized recently, the subtle therapeutic action of that kinda music is pretty useful.
The subtle incorporation of that fixed frequency into the music, does appear to be working.
I use it more these days. Some days, I just fall asleep with earphones.

I think that's when it took off. Started around 60's by German rock musicians who went to India, looking for new sounds.
Beatles was also influenced by some of the new age, fusion music.
Main characteristic of new age music these days is usually it is instrumental.

Thats all I listen too. I love listening the the radio.
@threedogs I will run an earth lead from the body of the radio to the battery and see what happens.

hopefully that will improve it,
With over 1000 hand picked songs totalling over 60hrs from various
artists I just put the SD card on shuffle havent heard the same song
twice in over a year. lol

So Metallica's And Justice For All album would be classed as instrumental then? Lol. Never get tired of listening to that album.
