generally speaking the radio doesn't really have an adjustment to increase sensitivity. However there is a trimmer screw adjacent to where the antenna plugs in. That is used to get the best performance from the antenna. You might want to try adjusting that. The other things I would ask is whether the antenna is fully extended and also whether the truck is sitting in a building with a lot of metal. Extending the antenna above the roof of the truck makes a big difference in my case. You might even try substituting a length of wire for the antenna to see if it has a problem.
Where I live the AM band is extremely weak and my modern daily driver does not do as well as my truck radio. However about 9:30 at night the band livens up, mostly with stations from the US. This is when I enjoy my old console radio listening to broadcasts from far away. You may want to test it later in the evening. | | |
