I notice my Wife's 99T&C wagon gets several more stations than my 97 F-150.
Is there a 'fix' or 'adjustment' for my Ford's poor Rectption?

It's the Stock Radio.
The Truck is an XLT Lariat, stereo Cass unit.

try taking the unit out and make sure the antenna wire is still attatched to the unit itself.

WOW, that looks pretty complicated. Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm not that brave.
Years ago I had a car with an Antenna trimmer way back in the Cassette slot. I was hoping for something that simple.

Antenna trimmers went away with Analog tuners, remember the ones with the little needle that slid across and pointed to the frequency numbers.

LOL, yes I am a dinosaur! :)
We'll close this thread. Maybe I'll buy a lucky Lotto ticket and get a new Radio with a nice truck to hold it for me.
