I’m trying to figure out if there is a downloadable font that looks like the new radios in the new Chevy’s. I have found a bunch of LCD fonts but they just don’t look like that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It looks to me like Arial Rounded MT Bold. If I were making a poster and trying to imitate that is what I’d use. You might need to slightly thicken the strokes to get it just right.
Does anyone know what font they use on the new Chevy radios and dash instruments?
Do car AM radios seem to lose their power over time?
I usually drive my cars until they are 10+ years old, but the AM portion of the radios seem to get worse and worse over time. I notice when I get a rental car, AM works perfectly.
The most common reason for AM reception problems (and this is probably what is happening with age) is poor ground contact at the antenna. It is a big problem with fender mount antennas but also appears with roof mount antennas. The bad ground brings in all sorts of electrical noise because the coax becomes part of the antenna system. Scouring the body with Scotchbrite where the antenna mounts can work wonders, and applying silicone grease can keep it that way.
Does anyone actually want the new digital radios?
I have five radios around my home and workshop. Two are reproduction types that look antique.
I really don’t want a digital radio. Does anyone want them?
What will happen to the mountain of discarded radios that we won’t be able to use?
Has anyone thought of the waste of resources?
We’ve only got digital radios, but I detest the idea that everyone should be forced to switch over to them.
It’s a huge waste of resources and will continue to be. I’ll look for the figures, but it costs a lot more to run digital than it does to run analogue.
There’s also the issue of coverage, which isn’t as great as claimed. People living in more remote areas can have difficulty picking up the signal and even in London we find it cuts out inexplicably sometimes.
