stock radio going bad?

[boots16]

i can't remember when it started but my radio gets static most of the time when the truck is running. i can be (supposible) out of range of a station but when i turn the truck off (engine not running but radio on) it comes in clear as day. i don't get it, the only thing close to the radio that is electronic is the f5 switch. all connections are on tight.

any ideas?

i read a post a while back about interference with the f5
mine does it some also but mostly i dont have great reception..

mine tries to switch to cd when there's none in. I've found it won't do that if there's actually a CD in it. Wierd. I've found similar posts about this problem.

Could the static problem be a bad connection with the antenna wire ?

Mine will randomly turn the volume WAY up. It's like someone is turning the knob, as I can grab the knob and turn it down before it blows my ears out.
