So i have a customer coming in on thursday with a H/U i installed for him, the problem as he stated was this, the radio gets all the stations fine, but stations 94.1 and 106.1 seem to be interfering with each other if you tune the stereo to either of them, meaning if he turns to 94.1 he would be picking up traces of 106.1 and vice versa, now i've never seen this problem before so i'm thinking it's the H/U that is defective, however i just wanted a little insight from anyone who can help befored i see the customer thursday, thanks in advance for your time and contribution.

Could happen if you were really close to a strong signal. Not using a fm modulator in the system?
My guess is the turner section has an issue.

No modulator, just a simple H/U, it only occurs between those two stations.

What are the chances that those 2 stations share a tower?

Nope, they don't, 94.1 has another station it shares a tower with and 106.1 is a station all on it's own.

I've never seen that before in the FM band. Sounds like a defective tuner to me. ------------- Support the12volt.com
