AM static

[John Naitove]

Several months ago I started to notice mild to severe
static when listening to AM on the factory radio
(non-Bose) in my 95A6q Avant. The radio is not the
original but was put in by the dealer in 1998 as a
factory/warranty replacement (lights are orange-- not
red. Blinks when alarm is armed). Static gets real bad
when driving under power/telephone line. If I turn the
ignition off but leave the key in accessory position
it gets better. If I turn the key off entirely, it
gets even better.  The dealer told me I need a new
antenna booster ($125). But I'm not convinced this is
the cause.  Anyone out there experienced this?
