I'd bet donuts to dollars that the radio needs an alignment. If you don't have the equipment to do a real alignment, you can usually improve reception just doing it by ear. Just take note of how things are positioned now, then make tiny adjustments, constantly listening for any improvement. You should be able to tune it right up..
