if you have a bad reception issue--its usually related to
a bent or damaged antenna and\or a bad-loose-broken
-grounded etc... antenna wire
am\fm has such limited capabilities in terms of range and quality

There used to be antenna boosters, but they never helped much as the interference was amplified as much as the signal.
