Could just be the antenna wire - mine has an intermittent connection right where it plugs into the radio. If I pull the radio out and wiggle the connection it comes back on, but it won't stay on. My next step is to try a new antenna wire.

For some reason the AM works as yours does - it may use the shielding on the coaxial wire as its antenna.

Radio is tits up. Go get a new one. I traded my crappy SC811 for a reman'd SC816 at the dealer for $200. The SC816 has a CD player in it.
