      After fighting a problem for over 6 months, I need some help.
Really. When I had a Sony head unit installed 1.5 years ago, I had great
AM reception. I realized over half a year ago that I only have about
half that reception now.
      I've searched the archives, torn my dash apart, cleaned the mast
connection and replaced the radio. The dash check shows that the
installer has only the mast antenna attached to the radio. The diversity
antenna lead was just hanging down in the dash, but someone says that
only affects FM and FM does fine.
      Also, I can see the whole mast antenna lead except for what goes
behind the a/c parts under the dash. Can I do a continuity check on the
antenna? What reading would I expect. I'd appreciate the help. I don't
need flames about Sony. I got it for the 10 disc CD changer, so that is
why I stayed with Sony.
