[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 976353, member: 555251"] I seriously doubt a preamplifer will help for AM reception. Down there, it's all about signal to noise ratio - boosting the incoming signal will boost the station, yes, but it will also boost the surrounding noise as well. There's no really good solution to better mobile AM reception other than a better receiver with more IF filtering, noise blankers and other things to improve the S/N. Standard car antennas are so horrifically inefficient at AM frequencies that lowering the noise floor is really all you can hope to do. [/QUOTE]
