W205 C63S Radio presets scramble
Issue with the radio displays with the tags that roll left and right to tune in stations on the FM band for example.
Not that we have that many stations in my area but not all of them show up when scrolling left or right. If I add a station by directly inputting the frequency it plays and shows up, for a while, than later it may disappear again.
How in heavens name do you stabilize this so that all the stations I care to listen to are available to scroll through?
I miss the telephone style keypad on the W204 that allowed me to simply press a preset button and get to the station.
Any advice please?

What I finally figured out is:
If the option is selected to presets, than only preset stations show up in the roiling menu
If HD FM is selected than the radio hunts and shows the most powerful stations it can scan for, leaving out some of the weaker stations that may be in the presets.
So my solution was to edit and set all the presets I would want to see in the rolling menu regularly in my home area and switch the HD FM when roaming and looking for local stations away from home turf.
That tidbit tactic is not explained in the manual.
