Car Radio Losing Signals After Battery Change

Hi,

I recently had the battery changed in my 1991 Volvo 760 station wagon. After the battery change I had to reinstall the security code on my radio in order for it to work. I stupidly used the code from my previous Volvo - and after two wrong tries the Volvo routine disallows any future attempts to input the code until the radio is turned on for a two hour period. I did do this and then input the correct security code, at which time the radio did play. However, the FM stations which I almost always prefer and to which I listen consistently (NPR!) are now very static-y unless I am close to the urban area, and the AM stations are also not as clear.

What caused this change to the radio and can I do something - or have someone else do something - that will bring back what was a very clear and strong radio performance??
