[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1943756, member: 555251"] Aftermarket radios do tend to have worse receivers in them than factory ones - just not a very high priority for them to build a decent one. I doubt the deck has a built-in antenna preamp - although you could add one if the stations aren't too close in. Adding a preamp doesn't always fix the problem, though, because the S/N ratio is the same - you've boosted the level of the incoming signal, but you've also boosted the noise with it. [/QUOTE]
