My radio is the original 1963 and has been rebuilt. However, the pick up from the antenna is full of static and the signal drops in and out on the move. I believe you can tune an antenna to get rid of this problem. How do you do that?

tuning an antenna is for getting peak performance out of sending a signal, not receiving it.

the wire from the antenna to the radio might have an open.
