Radio reception very weak


Greystoke

Recommended Posts

The radio reception is very weak. Most stations wont tune in and those that do are all noise.

 

I have checked that the aerial is plugged into the stereo.

Also the aerial does go up.

 

Is it possible for the cable to come out at the motor end.

 

Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this.

Possible, but unlikely.

 

Most likely is the aerial mast is filthy dirty and clogged up with gunge in the joints making the aerial continuity poor.

Alternatively, the coax itself or the aerial plug connection could be breaking down.

Another alternative is that the radios tuner isn't too great or developing a fault.

 

You can buy a cheapie manual aerial for about a fiver. Pull your radio out and plug the new areial in. That should rule out the stereo.
