Extend the antenna or adjust the position of the radio.
FM stereo – if weak switch to MONO as this requires less
signal strength.
Signal is weak. Extend the antenna or adjust the location
of the radio. Positions higher up or nearer windows may
improve reception. Note sometimes retracting the aerial
slightly (less than full length) may improve reception.
This normally means the signal is very weak, not that there
is no signal. Try moving the radio to a different location and
re-scanning. Check that your local area has DAB coverage
