Her final definite radio contact was at 08.43 am. on the 2nd July. Other transmissions were received for up to 4 days later, which suggested they were on an island nearby. In the area there were a few islands that barely appeared at low tides and were covered by high tide.
Yes, in her final flight she had serious radio problems.
If you mean on her final flight, she needed more fuel and a better radio.
Flew over the Bermuda Triangle in a storm and fell out of radio contact, some believe she crashed into the ocean or into a landmass.

Kilo-Hotel-Alpha-Quebec-Quebec, or KHAQQ, was Amelia Earhart's radio callsign.
She was calling the USCGC Itasca, near Howland Island.
Your best source of info about Earhart is a group called TIGHAR, which is, I think, at tighar.org . I don't think Nazis had anything to do with it. She seems to have been a rookie at using radio, even shipped her vital telegraph key home "to save weight". Her radio had been modified, which undoubtedly lowered its range. When radio contact with Itasca became her only real hope of finding them, she simply couldn't make good contact.
Her last radio call was at 8:45 am on July 2nd, 1937.+++As others have said, the fate of Amelia and her navigator is not known but it may safely assumed that for some reason their aeroplane crashed into the sea. The size and depth of the ocean, and lack of knowledge of their last position in the air, means that no trace has ever been found.
Amelia Earhart's last radio transmission was at 8:42 am, local time. From her transmission strength, she was within 100 miles of Howland Island, her goal. She made two calls on each of her radio frequencies, 3105 and 6210 hz: 0842 KHAQQ TO ITASCA WE ARE ON THE LINE 157 337 WL REPT MSG WE WILL REPT N ES N **THIS ON 6210 KCS WAIT 3105/A3 S5/ 0842 KHAQQ XMISSION WE ARE RUNNING ON LINE LSNIN 6210 KCS/ Douglas Westfall, author Taken from The Hunt For Amelia Earhart Specialbooks.com
Nobody knows where Amelia Earhart crashed because her radio- which could have also acted as a tracking device- went offline and she was never heard from again. She was considered dead on July 2, 1937, which was over 3 months after the incident.
Amelia Earhart impacted the lives of others by doing things that people thought only men could do but Amelia Earhart did things tat people onLy said men could do. She also encouraged woman to do the same as her.
She had advanced training as a pilot, though some people still claim she was not a good pilot. They are wrong. She admitted to being an average navigator though. That is why she had a highly skilled navigator with her when she disappeared. -------- Regardless of opinion, she had 16 world records in aviation before she turned 40 in 1937. That year she began the training for her world flight in which she disappeared. One instructor, Mark Walker told her aircraft was ill-equipped for the flight. Later during the flight, severe modifications to her radio in Miami, reduced her transmission range from 2,000 miles to 200, and removed the Pan Am frequency, preventing any communication with most ships and the Pan Am world wide network. The reason Amelia Earhart disappeared was her radio. Taken from, Amelia Earhart's Radio Douglas Westfall, historic publisher SpecialBooks.com
