Yes the same as yours, and a new aerial won't fix it i tried that.

The first one i had go when the radio first came out a couple of years ago, I sent to Derek Bailey and it was sent back as he couldn't repair it, so I contacted Sanwa direct and had to send it back to them in Japan, after about 3 months they came back saying that a capacitor was causing the fault, and they would replace it FOC minus the postage (was about £10)
Your best bet is to send it to SMD and let them help you with it.
