Signal transmission

FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they
N00733900370
reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, FM broad-
casts cannot be received over long distances. AM signals fol-
low the earth's surface and are reflected by the upper
atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received
over longer distances.
FM
25 to 40 mile radius
(25 to 40 miles)

Weak reception (fading)

Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM
waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM recep-
tion. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar
obstructions, reception can be disturbed.
