[BC] the best sounding current AM/FM aftermarket car stereo

[Mike Erickson]

The non HD JVC's have good AM sections.  The bad thing is that they really
succumb to overload and have huge problems near power lines.  Even lines
that are well supressed will cause JVC AM's to develop ripple and hum in the
audio.
