Just as a matter of interest, don't Swift post on MHF as much now. I remember a time when a post was answered in next to no time.

Swift police their own website 7 days a week and late into the evenings and get back to you very quickly but this radio problem is a common one affecting many people including me.

Hi yes us too when we had the Bolero. We never did get the radio working properly, thankfully although still Fiat the radio on the Burstner we have just bought is fine.
I was just wondering why Swift hadn't answered you, as I know I was always impressed with their pardon the pun, Swift responses.

Also have problem with the radio.
BUT
worked ok when we got the van, albeit a bit 'tinny'
Worked on way to Dover for the ferry, didn't try it for a while as too busy watching the scenery and road and talking.
When we eventually tried the van radio couldn't get any stations. Put it down to being in Portugal.
Not sure why as we got reception on the wind up/solar/mains portable radio
Tried again when we got back to the uk does sound like no aeriel connection, could it have worked loose?
I like the radio for those times John sleeps en route. Usually as soon as I get behind the wheel

In the end we had a auto electrician to our previous M H he put a new aerial in the cab, it wasn't perfect but it was better than nothing.
Swift had previously sent someone out to ours, he couldn't do anything with it whilst on the drive, but made a list of several reasons why it wasn't working. (I posted them on here about 3 years ago).
If memory serves me correctly, it was something to do with the wiring inside the passenger side of the windscreen, and when it was converted etc
It might be easier to do as we did and get an auto electrician to add an extra aerial. The difference though on our new MH is amazing.

how are you and the woofies? i see you've upgraded lol!!
nice van ...
i am also a bit surprised to see no reply they are usually quite swift!!! and for me to say that with all the problems i have had with the kon tiki is pretty fair i'd say!
i just wonder if its one theyre ducking as i have by now read many threads on this recurring issue and not many have been satisfactorily solved and those that have had done it out their own pocket and time - which i think is a bit off as it doesnt say in the glossy brochure when your buying or browsing - oh and yes the radio isnt a working model!LOL!
thanks for the links i keep reading and learning if nothing else - the KT is going into chelston for a service monday and i am taking some info from a MHF member with me to see if they can solve it once and for all - we'll see Thurdsday when i drive it back - will post back on here hopefully with some radio reception other than the constant hiss and buzz i have now ...
