When I received my grandfathers 42-350, I thought the same thing. I kept wondering why I couldn't receive the lower FM broadcast stations, only a steady hiss. Then one day I caught the MI state police (state police transmitter was within 5 miles of my home then). Had me confused as I knew the police weren't on the FM band. This was 30 years ago..........Then I learned the truth later in life....I was shocked Icon_eek LOL
