car radio loses FM reception. The cd player and tape deck work fine with system, but radio reception is sporadic. Radio works for months, then abruptly stops, and then comes on at intervals ranging from minutes to an hour. before going off. Then I just get statis.
Could it be the window antenna or a grounding problem. Already checked fuses.

Hi there,
feel that it will be an internal fault with the radio, just check that the earth is ok but i feel you should have the radio tested my a radio tech.
