Does the static change at all as frequency is changed? Is AM different to FM?


The static does appear to change when the channels change and there is definitely a difference between FM and AM. I took the cover off and did not see any cold solder joints. I even tried flexing the board and pressing on components to see if anything changed, nothing.

One thing I that kind of puzzled me is that when I put the wire in the antenna the static changed. If there is a problem in the front-end of the tuner I don’t understand why the static would change. Maybe the mixer frequency (I think that’s what it’s called) is off somehow.
