Mw Reception, Well This Worked

[davewill]

For months and months now i have been experiencing terrible reception on MW on my 6006 unit

It seemed to worsen the longer the journey was, and was also effected by bumps on the road

 

It got to a stage this week, where it was barely possible to listen to Talk Sport or Radio 5 Dead as the background hiss and crackle was unbearable

 

Out of frustration i removed the unit using the two long clip things, pushed the ariel connection in (although it was not loose) and then carefully slid the unit back in until it locked.

 

Upon turning the radio on, there was no hiss and crackle ;) and since then reception has been fine

 

I can only assume the ariel connection was loose, but on saying that FM reception has always been fine

 

Would the "seating" of the unit in the dashboard cause bad reception, and by taking it out and pushing it back, this has made a better connection??

 

Anyway if you have bad MW reception just try removing and re-installing the radio, you never know it may work
