Idle and radio reception questions

I have an 88 900S with 260,000 km. It idles at 800 rpm when the engine is first warming up but after I have been driving it for a little while the idle goes to 1200 and won't come down. New AIC, no stalling problems or other known engine problems. My mechanic says this higher idle speed is normal and needed to power the cooling fan, etc. but I'm not so sure. Is this info correct or is there a problem with the idle speed?
My second question is that I think that my radio reception is not as good as it should be, I have a stock Clarion, the antenna cable connection is good but I think I remember reading that if the "fingers" that connect the aerial to the cable go bad then the radio reception will be impaired. Should I replace the mast as the next step or does the entire antenna assembly need to be replaced or maybe this is as good as the reception gets. Thanks in advance.
