'87 5KA "Radio Won't Stop Scanning!"

[Paul Meyers]

Well, no. The dx setting is intended to "widen the bandpass", effectively
cancelling the filtering out of some weak, perhaps interfering stations on a
given frequency. On my radio, turning on dx didn't allow the "infinite
scanning" to go away. With the new antenna, the dx does what it's supposed
to. I usually leave it off, unless I'm out in the boonies.

could it be something as simple as the "dx" setting?

Had this same problem. Nothing wrong with my radio. The Avants need an
amplified antenna to get signal. I replaced the Audi antenna whose amplifier
had "gone the way of all flesh" with an aftermarket amplified antenna,
actually producing enough signal to find stations and the "infinite
searching" stopped. Just as an aside, the inability of a system to manually
index to the next frequency seems a real design flub. Just my opinion.

Radio turns on fine. Lights up fine.
Won't stop at a station AM or FM, just keeps scanning.
Even got new roof antenna mast which replaced "Mr. Wizard" mess from
previous owner.
Any thoughts?
Help appreciated, if any.
