Tuner fading out how to fix.

I MD 102 that I put in and there antenna I mounted on the roof. The antenna when I had it in doors worked fine but once I mounted it the stations appear to have more static. Also I get a fading in and out that actually changes volume. What can I do to help this it really makes this unenjoyable to use. Will a signal sleuth help? Why is it worse, I do pick up more stations now.

Just a wild guess, perhaps when the antenna was inside you were running in mono due to low signal level. Move outside and the tuner grabs for stereo which requires even more strength.

Also possible that signal is blocked where you live and there was a tiny "window" of reception right where the antenna was in the first place.

It's important too that the antenna is aimed at the transmitter, assuming your using something other than a whip (like on an automobile).
