So you got a battery tender/conditioner and it fixed your problem?
Maybe I should just replace my battery now, since it's already 5 years old?

i purchased the ctek from amazon for ~$50 and it has definitely extended the life of my battery. it also "cured" the radio mute problem, which seemed to be related to the aging battery.
i agree with jeremym, replacing your battery is not a bad idea if it's the original oem and is
>5 yrs old. however, this may or may not be the source of your radio issue.
