No, the fading only occurs on this radio. The other Philco I have does not pick up as well, but the reception is reasonably steady. I surmise this one gets (at least initially) better reception is because it has a superior antenna system.
The Nashville station comes in reasonably well starting around midnight, and reception is good until a little after sunrise on most days. Storms in between can cause varying results, obviously.
It does not matter when I turn the radio on, within 10 minutes, the reception on weak stations fades to a nearly unreadable signal. Before the set warms up, weak and distant stations come in very well. Stronger signals may also fade, but they come in well enough that you might not notice. For example, there is a program that I listen to during the day on Sunday, on a local station, and I can listen to it with no problems. The issue seems to only be present with weak or distant stations.
Thanks for the reply!
