[s-cars] AM reception Q on Gamma

That would most likely be a Delta radio on the '96,
Paul.

Crappy AM reception would tend to indicate that there is
either a problem with the antenna amp (probably not getting
power or it died) or there is a problem with the leads in
the in-glass antenna.

I had zero AM reception when I changed radios because I forgot
to hook up the antenna amp power- now I have crappy AM reception.

The A4 is similar with the stock radio- crappy AM reception. But
the Beetle has great AM, aftermarket radio but stock antenna on the
roof, same as the A4's. Weird. But anyway, in-glass antennas are
terrible for AM.

<YAWN> boring subject, oh well:  I know the archives had this well
covered but they're yadayadayada...  and when it was being solved
publicly I didn't listen cause I neverever AM it myself...  but...  now
a bud w/ a '96 A6 (with presumably the same Gamma radio right?)
complains to me about the crappy AM reception.

Er, what was that there fixer again gents?  I tried the foil cap atop my
head but all that tuned in were the voices that tell me to burn
things...

TIA.
