What would cause a guitar amp to pick up radio stations? It only does it through the normal channel, not the Vibrato channel.

Thanks Enzo, for the reply. The input grounds measured OK, but someone had replaced the 3 prong AC plug with a 2 prong one. When I installed a 3 prong plug back on the AC cord, the RFI went away. The amp came stock with a 3 prong cord, according to the schematic.

I spoke too soon. It turned out that adding the grounded plug stopped the RFI when nothing was plugged into the amp. So, I still had the problem whenever I had a guitar plugged in. After checking and re-doing all of the grounds, I got the problem to go away by adding grid stoppers on the preamp tubes.
