The reason is most programs are tranmitted in FM band today. The AM power band does't transmit with any power near the output of FM. So your reception is limited. It's not the radio.

I don't know what the fix is but I have the exact same problem.. Kind of limits you when you want to listen to the talk shows on AM

I know AM is not as strong a signal, but mine is down a little, too. I'll be interested to hear your results from dealer visit.
