can this be fixed with an external antenna mounted sufficiently away

Yes . . .

take your radio outside, truck it around in the yard, find the best
reception area,

put up an antenna there.

then put in a nice shielded co-ax into your house, shielding the whole
thing.

Duct tape is actually a fairly good shield, BTW . ..



I convinced my better half of that some months ago. She wasn't impressed.

Perhaps you meant the aluminium foil stuff which goes by some other name?
