Next time you are at Walgreens, pick up one of the little Sony AM/FM radios that they sell (ICFS10MK2). It will cost you about ten or twelve dollars.See how that works for you. If it doesn't work well, take it outside and make sure you can get a given station. Then take it back in and try - by moving it around - to determine what area or areas of your house might be causing any interference.
