My Genesis has a Lexicon audio system which picks up marginal FM signals very well. Traveling around the Valley I am usually tuned to 93.3 HD2 and have no issues. Similarly, when the HD signal is off the air I tune to 92.7 and the signal is excellent on that too.
Today I was driving my older 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT on Rural Road from Warner north to Southern and back south and noticed 92.7 kept fading in and out every couple of blocks. The further south I got the better the signal and conversely, the further north I went the fading and signal interference got worse. (This vehicle is new to us.)
The radio is the original OEM unit and seems to be working correctly in every other respect. The external whip antenna is properly connected and contacts are clean. On some of these older radios there used to be a DX or Local switch but I don't see anything like that on this one nor does the manual refer to a local-distant switch.
My question is - do any of you who travel this same approximate route experience the same or similar problems with 92.7? I thought someone posted last week that the translator was operating at max power and my route was almost perfectly line of sight from South Mountain.
