did you check the antenna connection on the head unit? That's weird that your reception is so poor.

I think it's because the radio here is SHAIT - do yourself a favor and just get Sirius - it's really that much better.

I think those power boosters are mostly a gimmick. Remember they're going to amplify the noise along with the signal.
