Dirty tuning capacitor?
I have this issue from time to time, usually with public radio stations down on the left side of the dial.
Try spinning the tuning knob back and forth several times to see if that cleans things up.
More detail and suggestions on cleaning are here:

I will try. Should I sprey some alcohol, would it help to clean?
I haven't sprayed anything. From what I read, its easy to permanently damage the tuning gang, and i was able to clean things up by spinning the dial.
Definitely do some research first.
I did it 4-5 times, end to end but did not help.
I tried with antenna, but not other stations. Now it seems fine so I cannot check
but the problem is not always happen. There was no problem when I was testing it to buy.I will update if happens again.
I found another station. I do not know if this is the same problem but, SX-780 have stereo in that one, but TX-7800 cannot go in stereo in auto mode and cannot lock, but in mono it plays well, even it have stereo if I keep my finger on the knob (tuning meter is not on the center). So it tries to lock in wrong station. I exchanged their antennas, same thing. It tune

I think it is very hard. I tried it on sx780 but could not manage, I do not have some of the equipments. I do not know if they are the same but i will check.
