Hi @jamesgoff

Has the FM in the radio worked OK before with the radio in the same location?

Is the power cord fully extended and not coiled etc? Just asking as the radio's FM antenna is in the power cord.

Perhaps try connecting a 75 Ohm external FM antenna (examples only) to the coax RF input connector on the back of the radio and check if the FM is now OK.
