Title: No AM stations on RNS510..
Post by: wisebuddah on September 15, 2011, 09:50:19 pm

So, I've just installed an RNS510, so far no issues apart from the fact that I can't seem to be able to tune into anything on AM, so no talksport, radio 5 etc..my wife is overjoyed, I'm not so. Has anyone encountered this before?

One of the aerial connectors is dis-connected on the back.  Or if they are both connected, swap them over.

Ahh I noticed the other day I couldn't get 5 live on.  Also kerrang hasn't worked for ages.  100% they just need swapping round?

Cheers

Yeah, I'm doing the switch tomorrow..Kerrang is crystal clear for me..where are you based? You might be out of the transmission area.

I've got an RCD300 but have the sam problem. No AM only FM. Had a look at the back a few months ago but I'm sure on the RCD300 the plugs can only be connected correctly as both are sort of fused together. Any ideas on what my problem might be?
