Tune to the frequency that there is no broadcast and you will hear a buzzing sound.

Turn a work light on and shake it around the antenna rod. (around 10—20 mm {0.40—0.78 in})
CAUTION:
-
Use a fluorescent light type for the inspection. Accurate diagnostic cannot be done with a different type of light.
-

If a whirring sound from the speaker synchronized to the work light movement is confirmed, the antenna system is normal.
