adjacent channel selectivity.

For your situation you might try pushing the antenna down partway & see
if that clears things up. Also, rotate antenna & see if one direction
takes out some of the overload. Otherwise for better FM reception you
may need a better radio. I don't know how close you are to your local
FM stations towers. If you're really close, almost every radio may have
problems. You might want to try the Eton E100 pocket radio, someone
said it could get distant FM near strong locals & they sometimes sell
on eBay for only $20-30. George (MN)
