at that point its best to take it to a tech. :geek:
you could spend hours trying to trouble shoot it, a tech will spot it and if its a cheap/easy fix you will have it back in minutes :cheers:
p.s. some :bow-blue: radio techs will do it for nothing if you know one, :obscene-drinkingcheers: but, either way, pay him well because we have to support them and keep them in business. they are getting rare, :-) :icon_salut: :dance:

If you are trying to hear a AM station in FM mode, it will sound garbled and distorted, not a lot of FM action on the CB band and I haven’t heard much on the upper part of 10 m ham either.
AM is always going to have static, Mother Nature and man made noises are the pits, not a lot can be done to eliminate them. You can remove some noise by tuning the antenna to the best possible SWR, tuneup your engine, fixing a noisy alternator, make chokes for things like the wiper motor, heated/ac fan motor, add shielding by grounding hood, doors, trunk lid. These are all suggestions.
