Very strange this one, I have never seen that problem before, It may 
not be the radio, have you thought of looking at the antenna 
connections, You would possiblely get that kind of full scale signal if 
the earth has come into contact with the inner core, So check all 
connecting plugs or you could have a break in the co-ax, The simplest 
thing to do though is to re-connect the rubber antenna to see if that 
cures the problem, to eliminate co-ax, One other thought is if you had 
your radio connected to an outside antenna during a storm and a close 
lighting strike that would have untold damage, I suppose if all else 
fails it must be the radio.
