Zummy... a word of caution... if you have an electric cart, you may not be able to listen to the AM broadcast when you are moving. The cart motor generates an electric field that is the same frequency as that of the AM radio. Hence, when the electric cart is under way, a static interference prevents the radio from receiving an AM signal. I believe this is true even with a portable radio in the cart or on your person if you are riding in the cart. If you want to listen to The Villages AM radio station in the cart, you cannot be moving. FM and satellite radio services, however, work fine.
