Default Re: am/fm vhf

Two separated antennas are ideal.

When not transmitting on VHF, the vHF being on or off should not make any difference.

So it gets down to power & ground. If the electrical load of a non-transmitting VHF is affecting the AM/FM it's in the DC power feed or ground. To test... run a pair of wires from either radio directly to the battery terminals. See if that causes the AM/FM to peter out when both are drawing DC power.

This all assumes that the VHF radio is not problemed.
