AM static

[Theron J. Bliss]

  I've got the solution.  Just don't listen to AM.  Ok, sorry, I'm not
positive, but here are a few suggestions.  On AM, if your getting static,
and it sounds like the pitch changes with your RPM, it can be alternator
feedback.  Make sure first that you have a really good ground, and you
might want to invest in a noise suppresser, something cheap like at
Walmart, or JC Whitney.
