Two things.

proper english so we can understand your question better.

use a period instead of a comma so it isn't all one sentence.


Radios can go bad. you can get a replacement stock radio but, if you buy it new, it will cost you more than a good aftermarket radio will.

Actually radios do go bad. But antenna connections are more likely.
If ant is bad, AM is more affected than FM. In other words, if you can see the FM station tower the FM should sound fine even with flaky ant unless it's totally disconnected
If the sound in both is garbled on strong locals stations it's radio.
But the electronics dont wear out, per se. No moving parts. CD is another matter. But lots of people use them very little.

Junkyard is where you get OE radios

all i meant is use you instead of u, say antennae instead of ant. thats all. when i see ant, i think the little thing crawling on the ground. I have a pet peeve with using u, r, y, and so forth instead of you, are, why. It makes you sound "smrter" and such when you use the full word. AND, when you do, you'll get more help
