It sounds like you have one of 3 problems. 1) Bad unit. Not
likely. 2)Weak signal reception. The tuner will switch into and
out of mono mode to hold as strong a signal as possible. Do you
notice the stereo indicator going in and out in time with the
"pumping"? 3) Multipath distortion. Big problem in my area. I
live on the side of a large granite hill. Transmission towers
are at the top of the hill only about 1 1/2 miles away. I cant
seem to get a decent signal to save my life. The signal will
bounce off the hill, large buildings and other structures as
well as go directly to my antenna. You might consider using the
Sony diversity antenna function if your unit supports that. It
basically uses 2 antennae and compares their signals and rejects
the weaker one.
