Radio problems

[Paul.T]

My estima radio does not pick up many radio stations, and when it does find one it is fuzzy with lots of background noise. When moving, the radio rapidly loses connection. The amplifier and Speakers work, as I can use my iPod to provide music. I assume it is an aerial problem. I've just taken the radio out, but there does not appear to be an aerial socket. Can anybody help please?

Japanese radio? the Japanese use different frequencies and tuning steps to other countries so it will only pick up certain stations in the UK

So is there anything I can do to get the radio working?
