What's with the radio?

Well, the subject line asked what's with the radio.
It's OEM generic. Presumably I should I expect a quality signal under normal conditions.
Seems to be staticky on most stations but I'll need to test more to sort that out.
I guess I could take it back to the dealer and ask them.
Anything I might be able to do to narrow down what the problem might be?
BTW, I'm new to the Avenger and new to the forum and - while scientifically inclined, I'm not all that mechanically inclined - so I might ask dumb questions.

I just noticed another problem. Several times it has spontaneously switched stations.
It was on 97.3 then just jumped to 97.7.
I am pretty sure it's doing this because it's having trouble keeping the signal. Radios are smart enough the autotune to a frequency if they find it.

If your radio is switching frequencies on you, you can also report it to https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us under radio.
As for the static you probably will need a diagnoses at an FCA Dealership.
