I know some people use iPods to listen to music while riding. Do they make something like an iPod that instead is just an AM/FM radio? Something pocket sized that you can use with ear buds?

Does it have an antenna?
Like BWAF said in the post above, iPod also uses the earbuds as an antenna. You might check Amazon or eBay and see if someone makes an actual external antenna for it.

I don't think so either, if it does I have not found it in two years of having one. I do listen to Heart radio on it though, but uses data.

Good to know. Would any of the round weather proof dash mount radios have a headphone jack? Or do they only work with speakers? Jensen is the only brand that comes to mind that makes one.
