Sounds like the IF circuit has gone bad. If this is an old radio the only solution is to fix it or buy a new radio. If it is still under warranty send it in for repair. |

If you read reviews of the 909, FM overload is a common complaint in urban areas. I think the recommended fix is to just shorten the antenna under these conditions. An intesresting test would be to compare different stations on the 505 with a fully extended antenna and the 909 with 1 section extended. Let us know the results. Jim (MI) |
