I just saw that this is happening "since I replaced the receiver with
a better one."  More expensive or more powerful receiver doesn't
always correspond to better, or even equal FM reception.  Sony
receivers of various types, for example, tend to be quite sensitive
but not very resistant to overloading or adjacent-channel
interference when receiving a weak station located adjacent to a strong one.

Without a better description of "clear enough" that's the best I can
do.  Might be the best even *with* a clearer description.  But I
wouldn't be at all surprised if this was a matter of receiver specs
(or how well the receiver meets its specs).
