Only 20ft?? Sounds like you have some sort of interference. I assume it's an AM radio?

Some things to try:

- Relocate antenna further away from other electronics, especially the BL motor wires (high current AC runs through those wires). Some people have trouble depending on the material of the chassis. Sometimes, metal to metal gears cause noise as well.
- Make the antenna sit higher.
- Go to a different location. There may be some RF transmitter nearby.
- Get a different radio. FM and digital systems are much more tolerant to noise.
