I've never noticed the problem in a car, but I did when near my nephew's
PC - which got the shield fix for $2. As far as the car is concerned,
my figures put the IF on the lower end of the FM band, if it happens at
all. The nephew's car radio must be better shielded than others, and
given that, may use shielded speaker cables too.
