Anybody have lousy AM reception

[jboriott]

Does anyone else have HORRIBLE AM reception on their radio? FM is fine, but AM really stinks - lots of static, weak signal. It's been like this since I bought the car (a year ago).

I've tried to live with it, but finally decided to gt this addressed. When I called the shop to discuss, they said that they've had no complaints about this, but agreed to check around. As most of you know, the antenna is in the windsheild.

Anyone else having (had) this problem? My only non-stock accessory is Lojack. (PLEASE don't guess that this is the cause unless you can FACTUALLY say so.)

My station of choice is AM talk radio out of Dallas -- I live in Waco. Reception in "Retro" bird is fantastic. Not so with my 95 Dodge PU or my 89 Olds Ciera -- both have static and almost no reception around power lines. Also have fantastic reception on my '57 Thunderbird -- go figure. I think it has something to do with grounding rather than the radio. Just my thought. Anyway, no problem with the 003 bird as of yet...
