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

I'm very close to Sutton Coldfield TX, shortening the aerial does indeed help though can degrade the signal too. I used Radio WM 95.6 as the 'tester' station as this seems to suffer the most, oddly Free Radio (Ex-BRMB) on 96.4 isn't as badly affected. My older but larger ICF-7600D doesn't suffer from this at all but guess that's because it's got more efficient tuning circuits (and/or an intact aerial!)?
