Poor radio reception

1992 Loyale

 

Started just today. Doesn't pick up any FM stations most of the time, sometimes a few. Same with AM. Almost all of it is static. What's going on, is this the antenna that's going bad?

I would check the antenna connection in the back of the radio and make sure it is tight. You may also have a coax extension that should be checked. My Loyale had one. Also check the antenna end for a problem and that you have a good ground connection.

I agree with Glen, it's likely an antenna/ground problem.

 

You can confirm this by pulling your antenna cable out the back of the radio, and jumping the antenna socket to chassis ground. You can use a wire with an alligator clip at each end for your jumper. Your reception should come to life as soon as you touch chassis ground if you are anywhere near where the radio signal originates.

 

good luck, john
