Hi Hartmut,

OK, tried to test radio with gradio, can't get any frequency to lock.

Now, switching to radio then causes analog tv to have a very weak signal 
- only 1 channel will scan with very noisy picture.

Then need to power-cycle to revert to good system.

So, the radio config isn't correct.

I'll keep digging.
