I'm also using this machine, and I've never seen this happen before. Try turning the RF Gain in the upper right corner to its lowest setting and see if that helps. Then, try tuning into a strong shortwave broadcast to see if you can still receive it normally. Also, check if the S-meter is showing +20dB or more. If neither of these works, try resetting the machine and then re-flashing the firmware if necessary. If it's still not working, there may be a problem with the receiving circuit.
