Does anyone else have really poor FM reception (I don't listen to AM) with thier C90?

The problem for me is while moving, the reception of even strong local stations will fluctuate, and the tuner goes between Mono and Stereo, and it just toggles back and forth. It is VERY annoying, but I am used to it by now (I've owned 5 Sony HU's!). It seems that my CDX-C780 has better reception than my C-90 or C-910! I also have a Sony home system with the STR-DA777ES, and its tuner sounds FANTASTIC! But, it is hooked up to a huge antenna, and is stationary. FYI - The "DX/Local" setting is ONLY for the seek function of the tuner. If set to "Local", it will seek past any weaker distant stations. This will not affect reception, only seeking. On the level imbalance issue, my tuner is fairly equal with my optical AND analog CD levels. This will obviously vary with your source CD's (Heavily compressed commercial recordings will be louder than more dynamic "Faithful" recordings). I know the C910 (Or was it the C780?) has a level selector in the setup menu. This selects the fixed output level of the Head unit's ANALOG out's when used with a DSP unit. I think it is adjustable between -16 and -12 or something. I believe this was to address an input overload problem when used with the old Unilink surround DSP unit (the hotter "-12" setting should not affect a 4000x). I don't remember the C90 having this option, but you can check. Oh well, I guess once I eventually get a Phatbox, the radio will be practically useless :) ! Enjoy...

I have 1999 Grand prix GTP and the radio reception with the factory deck was great. i don't get it, Sony even try to use the radio reception as a selling feature also.
