Hmmm.

There is a known issue with the radio antenna breaking over time. I'd like to swap it out for another one which is working to confirm a faulty part. The part is £250 if I recall and you can't return it.

I think the problem is that you are listening to the radio, and analogue radio at that. Try listening to CDs. Much better sound, I guarantee it. There you go, I fixed it and didn't cost a lot (about the price of 2 Now That's What I Call Music CDs).
