AMAX Stereo Certification
All optional radios are AMAX certified. AMAX certified
receivers can reproduce the fidelity sound that is
transmitted by all AM stations but not received on all
AM radios.
AMAX certification includes some of the following
improvements:
• High fidelity
• Adjustable receiver bandwidth:
- Wide bandwidth for high fidelity
- Narrow bandwidth for cutting out interference
• Noise cancellation
• Full stereo sound
• Reception of more frequencies
• External antenna capability
The range of most AM stations is greater than FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause
stations to interfere with each other. AM is also subje9t
to noise pickup from· storms or power lines. AMAX
certification reduces many of these types of conditions;
