S-Type Radio Randomly Switches to AM

Just got my 2003 S-type 4.2, and just loving her. BUT, the radio is randomly switching over to AM from FM. Any idea what is up, and how to remedy this?

Thanks,
Bryan

Are you sure your finger is not accidently brushing up against the 'SELECT' button on the steering wheel?

Happens to me all the time.

They must be different in sensitivity as never happens with mine (need to really press it).

joycesjags radio gremlin is that the 12 hour time setting switches randomly from AM to PM or vise-a-versa.

Thanks guys, it was my wife complaining of it, so I am guessing that it might be pilot error! Was just freaking out that it might be a dreaded gremlin... I will let you know if we see any further trouble.
