Can't get signal on my radio

[juwigley]

Ever since I purchased my truck I can only get on station on my radio. I have tried everything that I know of to fix the problem, does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it. It is getting really annoying.

Thanks

Could be a bad antenna or the antenna is not connected to the radio, or in some cases, there may be a joint in the cable between the radio and the antenna that came loose......this happens on AM and FM?

How about internet radio with smart phone + aux jacks!

tried all of that its odd because when the radio is out of the housing in the dash it works fine // also it is on both am and fm

If you pull the radio out of the dash, and then you have stations, but put it back in and lose the stations, you have a bad antenna connection......when you push the receiver back in, you are moving that antenna cable......it is either flexing the connection at the back of the radio or it is flexing a connector in the cable or you have a bad antenna cable, possible break that opens when the cable is flexed....
