Radio help

Wires are new 9mm Ford Racing along with new MSD coil and cap/rotor. Did it before the ignition upgrade also. I don't believe it really changes with rpm, but I haven't really left on very long like that. But clear and strong when engine is not running.

If your antenna lead is original it could be bad, check your grounds for your sound system. I put in a power line filter inline with the positive voltage connection to the stereo and it fixed 95% of static. Also I properly grounded the radio to the chassis on clean fresh metal, and I made sure my engine block ground was good. Also if you have a high power alternator you could be getting alternator whine. Mine got worse after replacing the 2g 65a with a 3g 130a.

Your local mobile stereo shop either will make one or has them in stock. Basically a torrodial transformer

Here's the kicker for me, when i tune into my favorite AM station, I get two stations at the same time. I hear one the main station and then the other garbled in the background.
I think its the radio. It's a digital one, so there is no in between manual adjustment.
