FM radio receivers for the car.

Never could find a radio station that would work. When you did, it only worked for about 1/4 mile down the road and then had to find another station.

Where do you live? I don’t listen to the radio anymore but when I did, I could get my favorite station 50 miles away no problem.

It's not the radio that didn't work. These were fm transmitter/receivers you used to play mp3 players/cd players back in the day when vehicles didn't use aux cables. It sent the signal over short range fm signal to your radio.

The alternative was the cassette adapter, but some vehicles had swapped to cd
