The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts
may cause this problem when the transmitter is
too far away or the antenna input is poor.
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a high-quality directional FM
antenna.

and clear reception
cannot be obtained
even with a good FM
antenna.
There is multipath interference. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate
multipath interference.
