On my last 5er, I bought a Wall-mart aftermarket automotive antenna, mounted it outside on the vertical sidewall near the radio (one hole job). I then plugged in to the radio, and wow! 100% better on both am and fm! Took the wadded up ball of wire and threw it in the nearest dumpster.
This time around, we have a portable ac/dc "baby stereo boom box" (am/fm, CD, MP3). It even comes into the house for power outages. Much more versatile...
Good Luck,
