Default OT funny thing

Later that day I go to Tesco's and radio isn't working very well, low

I think to myself that's funny! Just out of interest I turn off the rear
screen heater. The radio now works. So I turn the heat back on again,
and the radio goes hissy, turn it off and the radio is fine.


I've rechecked that the rear screen circuits are all intact and not
arcing or anything but it got me beat (that's not hard).
Any ideas ?


Does it use the rear screen element as an aerial? If so perhaps the
amplifier/isolator unit is not being powered correctly after your repair.
