#1: Radio Signal Author: RockRulz, Location: Harlow, EssexPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 12:01 pm ---- Does anyone else have a s**te signal from the FM stations.
I know its the car aerial because my 607 was fine at picking up signal but my 206 is pants. Ive tried all different stations and its the same......drifting in and out....I now play CDs most of the time but I like to do the quiz on my local station (Heart) in the mornings. Should I/Can I get an independent aerial or is the one Ive got fixable....its gotta be that hasnt it??

#4: Re: Radio Signal Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 12:51 pm ---- I can guide u if you like,you need to start by make sure the aerial is tight,the long section,if it's tight,then we need to move inside,and you need to take off the interior light off,so you can see the aerial base inside,and make sure it's not lose,can you do this so far?
#5: Re: Radio Signal Author: RockRulz, Location: Harlow, EssexPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 1:01 pm ---- I will check it tomorrow as its dark now. I did try and wiggle the aerial today and its tight so I am gonna assume its an inside problem.

#8: Re: Radio Signal Author: commandosqueak, Location: Lower SlaughterPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 5:16 pm ---- what radio have you got?
#9: Re: Radio Signal Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 6:13 pm ---- Do a simple test for me, put radio on , while listening to it turn on your rear screen heater/demister.
Does this make the signal worse.?
Do you use the rear screen heater often.?

#11: Re: Radio Signal Author: RockRulz, Location: Harlow, EssexPosted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 5:29 pm ---- Original radio. No I have never used the demister as yet.....well only once to check it worked. Went for a drive earlier and went through all preset stations.....all were drifting in and out but some were worse than others.
#12: Re: Radio Signal Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 2:19 am ---- Did you try turning your demister on while you had radio on.??
#13: Re: Radio Signal Author: RockRulz, Location: Harlow, EssexPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 2:25 am ---- No because I hadn't read those comments til
after I'd been for a drive. I will be going out tomorrow for
sure but not too sure about today. I will try the demister
as soon as I can and let you know the result.
#14: Re: Radio Signal Author: RockRulz, Location: Harlow, EssexPosted: Tue Dec 31, 2013 1:57 am ---- Ok...so Ive tried turning the demister and other bits on and off...most dont have any effect but the demister does make the signal worse. Yesterday was horrendous....every radio station was just static all the time...unlistenable at times. Ivew done myself a couple of CDs to out in there because I can see myself getting a hammer to it soon. grr!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

Some cars have powerfull amplifiers built in and take a lot of power, if the alternator voltage is droppping it can effect the amplifier, putting the demister on shows this up as that also takes up a lot of power.
