Default Re: Sony ICF-SW1 'overloading' on FM?

Thanks for the reply Darren, the aerial does seem to be connected properly.

Touching the aerial has varying results depending on how the radio is held and the direction of the aerial - sometimes no noticeable effect, other times does improve the signal. It can cut through the spatter in certain angles but not others. Also sometimes just having my hand near the aerial is enough to improve the signal. Would this suggest it's the aerial that's at fault? I've looked in various places but can't seem to find a replacement aerial, I've been looking for faulty SW-1s to buy for spares but they tend to go for more than I paid for this radio!
