AM/FM crosstalk? (Digital Tuning)

Subject is a Digital Tuner in a 1985 GSLSE. Has anyone experienced this? Seems to effect one station. but honesty everything seems weak. antenna is plugged in and functioning .

Thoughts?

It makes me think of grounding issues.

If you "listen" to a blank cassette, do you still get AM ingress? If so I'd think head unit internals, bad caps and stressed solder joints.

I'd def look at the ground connection where the antenna is mounted, there's a tiny strap on the power antenna itself. Hard to imagine that breaking as it's in a low stress location.
